AUS Executive Director,
Rob Crozier, has today emailed the NBR editor and cancelled
the AUS subscription in protest at the naming of the police
officer involved in the recent incident at Waitara.
Noting that the editor had acknowledged on Morning Report
that he had published the name “because he could”, AUS has
suggested that NBR reimburse the New Zealand Herald for
expenses incurred in challenging the name
suppression.
Police Association President, Greg O’Connor,
has welcomed AUS support.
