2020-033

The Authority upheld a complaint that a Checkpoint report summarising the complainant’s submission at a Waitematā local board public meeting was inaccurate and unfair to her.

Abdul-Rahman and Radio New Zealand Ltd - 2022-026 (21 June 2022)
2022-026

The Authority has not upheld a complaint that an item on RNZ National’s Morning Report on 14 January 2022 breached the discrimination and denigration standard by voicing-over comments made by international students.

In any event, the broadcast would not have reached the threshold required for finding a breach. Not Upheld: Discrimination and Denigration...
