Two New Upheld Decisions Released


Today we released two new upheld decisions. One decision is about an episode of Dog Squad which showed the complainant attempting to smuggle contraband to her partner in prison; the Authority found that this breached her privacy. You can read our media release on this decision here or by clicking on the Media Releases button below. The other decision concerns a promo for Face Off, a reality TV show in which the contestants are special effects make-up artists, which was shown during a children’s movie. The promo contained images of gory and wounded prosthetic body parts, which the Authority considered went beyond audience expectations of a G-rated family movie and breached the good taste and decency standard.
