> Hi Geraldene
> We haven't yet decided whether we'll do mayoral debates in the other centres,
> Dunedin we felt was the most interesting because the incumbant Mayor has stood
> down after 9 years so the field's wide open.
> The other reason for the discussion was the fact Chris was in Dunedin (only
> Malcom Farry was out of town and on the phone).  We don't have a big enough
> budget to get to all the other centres unfortunately and these would, if they
> happen at all, most likely be with Chris here and the candidates in studios in
> their respective centres.
> If we do an Auckland debate I will get in touch I promise
> all the best

> I am writing on behalf of the Auckland Documentary Collective associated

> regional television and secondary schools with the working title "Voter's
> Choice".  The documentary is using the upcoming Auckland Mayoral Elections
> as context for exploring questions of voter attitudes towards Local Body
> elections -  is it a question of apathy, or...?
> 
> By way of background introduction, our last documentary, Whose News?, has
> been/will be broadcast on the six regional television stations capable of
> doing so.  We've also sold copies, together with study guides, to every
> university, some polytechs and about fifty secondary schools, as well as a
> number of institutional and individual sales.

> I wondered if yourself and Chris Laidlaw had any plans to run an interview
> discussion between mayoral candidates similar to the Dunedin City Council
> discussions this morning?  I wasn't clear about whether or not the
> candidates were in the studio together, or whether the discussion was via
> phone-link.  If such a discussion takes place in the Auckland studio, would
> there be any chance (contingent on permissions) we could film this?  Or, if
> a discussion takes place via telephone, would we be able to access the sound
> recording?

> Many thanks for considering this.
