Furthermore, the Authority considers that the promo was for an item that contained an important message from a national sportsman about bullying – a serious social problem of particular concern to school age viewers. Having considered all the circumstances of the broadcast, the Authority concludes that the promo for 60 Minutes did not breach Standard G2. [25] Standard G8 requires broadcasters to abide by the classification codes and their appropriate time bands.

The Broadcaster’s Response to the Complainant [10] TVNZ contended that the complaint overlooked the fact that the item was not confined to electricity charges, but about the bills faced by farmers as a result of the combined increases by Orion, the local distributor, and Transpower, the national distributor of electricity. The item included comment from representatives from both Orion and Transpower and the Transpower spokesperson had observed that the increases could range up to 1200%.

[25] Mr Wong argued that the movie promoted hatred between different nationalities. [26] Standard 4 applies only to news, current affairs and factual programmes. While Ip Man was based on historical events, it was clearly dramatised for the purposes of entertainment, and does not fall within any of the categories to which the standard applies. [27] We therefore decline to uphold the complaint under Standard 4.
