BSA Releases 2 Decisions
The Authority has not upheld a complaint about a Mike’s Minute segment on the Royal Commission’s report ‘Whitiki Aotearoa: further lessons from COVID-19 to prepare Aotearoa New Zealand for a future pandemic’.
The complaint alleged the segment conveyed ‘misrepresentations’ and inaccuracies about the findings and was unbalanced and unfair. The BSA found the segment overall was consistent with well-established audience expectations of Mike’s Minute and that the comments expressed were either clearly opinion or not materially misleading.
