Prendergast and Sainsbury then face off on the issues of the week, including the council’s sludge levy mistake. What do they think of it? Should there be penalties? As well as the new merger MCERT and subsequent job losses, McSkimming’s sentence, Avatar, James Cameron’s worries for our film industry and the Phoenix –how are we looking, and what do our guests think of Nick’s idea to move the team to Christchurch.
