Barry Soper: ZB political correspondent on Willie Jackson launching an attack against Minister Melissa Lee - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Willie Jackson's launched a broadside attack on the Broadcasting Minister, saying she's missing in action.

With Newshub's closure announced this week and four shows chopped at TVNZ, Melissa Lee's under pressure to offer a plan for levelling the media playing field against the likes of Facebook and Google.

ZB political correspondent Barry Soper says it was interesting that Willie Jackson didn't offer any supplementary comments.
