Pirate Broadcasting
Sir, —The field of direct action is widened by the linking of Public Service Association and Federation of Labour. We shall probably see our friendly television personnel called out one of these days because of those broadcasting scabs about to be launched without N.Z.B.C. seamen. English pirate stations carry on in spite of the prayer recommended for general use by the 8.8. C. (according to Paul Jennings, referring to the good ship Lollypap in his book, “Oddly Afl Lib”): “Bless the square and his relations, and listen to the proper stations.” A low-down private-enterprise labour-saving trick is also described by Mr Jennings. A pirate disc jockey, in order to save himself the trouble of speaking between PAP records, invents a device for playing the same record all the time. Listeners, of course, will not notice it, but I think Mr Skinner will tumble to it. —Yours, etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. August 22, 1966.
