Calling Miss McKenzie
HEN occasion does arise for any discussion in England of New Zealand’s broadcasting system, it seems there is a lack of accurate information on the
subject. This is a pity. Some time last year I heard the BBC Brains Trust discussing the broadcasting of Parliament; someone said it would be a good thing as long as a separate transmitter was provided, and there was no dislocation of programmes. Someone else said that was the way it was in New Zealand, and the discussion then proceeded on this assumption. It would have been so much more interesting and salutary fot us to have heard the Brains Trust’s’ opinion on what really happens here. Then just the other day, the BBC’s Radio Newsreel interviewed Miss Jean McKenzie (of the New Zealand delegation to the United Nations conference). They asked her about women’s part in political life here, and she replied that our women have politics brought into their homes by the Parliamentary broadcasts, and "they also listen to radio talks and discussions; in this way, world affairs are brought into the home in New Zealand." Calling Miss McKenzie: Where are those talks on world affairs? (or did you just mean we can be proud that we listen to Wickham Steed and the American "commentators"?) When are those "discussions" broadcast?
