Powell and Television New Zealand Ltd - 1999-219
1999-219

Summary An ACT Party political advertisement broadcast around 7. 00pm on TV One on 18 November included a promise to voters that a vote for the party would ensure a "Fair, full and final treaty settlement". Mr Powell complained to Television New Zealand Ltd, the broadcaster, that the advertisement, which he said was broadcast at 6. 54pm made a claim which was incorrect, inaccurate, and designed to confuse the voting public deliberately. He maintained that ACT did not have the power to make any such promise as treaty issues were matters between the British monarch and what he called the Maori principal. TVNZ advised that its response to the complaint was limited to whether or not the advertisement accurately reflected ACT’s policy. That Mr Powell and others disagreed with that policy was not, TVNZ continued, sufficient cause for a formal complaint....
