Description

ACT's John Boscawen hopes that Wellington doesn't lose the chance to film 'The Hobbit'. ACT leader Rodney Hide who walks beside him agrees and says that it would wreck his alternative career options. John Boscawen appears very tall beside the small hobbit-like Rodney Hide. Refers to the struggle the ACT party is having to stay viable after the David Garrett scandal. Refers also to the stand-off between Sir Peter Jackson who is trying to film 'The Hobbit' in New Zealand and the threat by the Australian union MEAA (Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance) who are demanding that the Hobbit production company (Warners owned, 3foot7 Ltd) enter into negotiations for a Union negotiated agreement covering all performers on the film. The situation is complicated but if not resolved the production could go to Eastern Europe.
