Thanks Morrissey, the Lifeboat News' "other" New Zealand correspondent. This is the same Kim Hill who had that infamous interview with John Pilger a few years ago. I actually like her programme, though there's a bit of the intellectual snob about her - she is generally well informed, but she likes everyone to know this - as she does have some very interesting interviewees, and to give her credit she is trying to learn a bit about the environment, science and is willing to hear other political viewpoints. However, it's disappointing that she sometimes makes some spectacular failures. But it's par for the course for most main stream interviewers, to fail to challenge obvious egregious statements or ideas when I have to assume they fit into their own prejudices or ideology. Good email by the way, short and to the point without being too confrontational. I don't know if she'll read out yours, but again to give her credit, she does read out critical emails on the programme, though perhaps accompanied by a sigh or sniff of derision.
