Kathryn Ryan to Host Nine to Noon

News that Kathryn Ryan, RNZ's Political Reporter will host Nine to Noon is a yawn. Here's hoping she sees (seizes) the chance to (re)define herself as an independent commentator. We need to get back to the excellence of Maggie Barry, inquisitorial, bright, interesting and getting all the main players on an issue to comment. The recent host was underwhelming, wore her liberal colours openly and badly and was just too opinionated.
