This is from a few days ago (11 July): an interview with Hone Harawira after the media ran stories about his calling Howard a "racist bastard". Particularly of interest to MDIA 102 is Harawira's views about how to use media statements as a way to provoke public debate.
From Radio Live: "WILLIE & JT~talk to Maori Party MP Hone Harawira about comments he made about Australian PM John Howard, and the political reaction to what he said."
Listen here....
And even earlier on the week (10 July) Paul Henri interviews Maori Party co-leader Peter Sharples about Hone Harawira's statements.
Listen here....
These two interviews encapsulate particularly well the ways in which media debate can be framed and provoked. Harawira is the provocateur. Sharples is the diplomatic politician. Both are skilled politicians but in different registers.
