SummaryEpisodes 12 and 13 of the series Havoc and Newsboy’s Sell-Out Tour were broadcast on TV2 on consecutive Tuesday evenings on 17 and 24 August 1999 beginning at 10. 00pm. Simon Boyce complained to Television New Zealand Ltd, the broadcaster, that what he called gratuitous swearing on the programme, which included the use of the word "fuck", breached the good taste standard. TVNZ responded that in the context of a late evening broadcast and the fact that the programmes were classified as AO, it did not consider that the language used posed a threat to the standard. It also suggested that the approach taken by Mikey Havoc and Jeremy Wells (Newsboy) was by now sufficiently well-established for the language to have come as no surprise to viewers....

Summary An item on Breakfast broadcast on TV One at about 7. 40 am on 9 July 1998 reviewed the contents of leading women’s magazines published during that week. A studio guest referred to Paula Yates, who was featured in a magazine, and commented that Yates was known largely "for shagging the famous". Mr Yoxall complained to Television New Zealand Limited, the broadcaster, that the remark was vulgar, and an unacceptable breach of good taste and decency. TVNZ responded that the context of the remark was that the live studio broadcast was as tabloid as the magazines it reviewed. The comment was the guest’s genuinely-held opinion, and reflected a widely-held view of Yates. It was delivered in a light-hearted, laconic manner and, although unfortunate in view of Yates’ apparent attempted suicide, did not breach the standard, TVNZ wrote....

SummaryA radio station announcer, claiming he was doing a survey on STDs, telephoned a woman and asked a number of personal and intimate questions. The call was broadcast live on The Edge on 30 November 1998 at about 4. 00pm. J, the woman who received the call, had identified herself using her first name and employer’s name. She complained to the station that the call was a serious invasion of her privacy as she was never told that the caller was from a radio station, or that it was being broadcast live. J said the comments ranged from being personal to obscene, and cited some examples. When the matter was referred to the station initially, J received an apology both from the station manager and the announcer....
