Biography
As the sassy, flame-haired co-host of Nightline, Belinda Todd was a journalist's dream, and a conservative's nightmare. The Listener variously called her "TV3's secret weapon", and "a dayglo personality on the rampage", and even went so far as to pronounce that her Nightline items were "based extremely loosely on fact, about things like bovine flatulence and the greenhouse effect, exploding sheep, and the mysterious disappearance of Phar Lap's genitals".
“For too long we’ve tried to do censorship for people — you need people like us telling you what you can and cannot watch? I don’t subscribe to that. They don’t have to watch it. They can turn it off.”
