NZ Politics Daily - 4 October 2017
Dear Subscribers
Thank you to those who have responded to about the future of NZPD. The expressions of support and commitments to ongoing financial support are deeply appreciated.
If you are still considering whether you can regularly support the continued production of NZ Politics Daily, I urge you to let me know today. We are not yet in a sustainable position and we'll need to make a call on this at the end of the week.
Thanks again,
Bryce
