Dunne, Anderton take TV3 to court
Ohariu-Belmont MP Peter Dunne and Wigram MP, Jim Anderton, today filed proceedings in the High Court seeking an urgent decision on whether TV3 was acting properly in excluding the two MP’s from tomorrow night’s scheduled Leaders’ Debate.
The MP’s are arguing that even though TV3 is a private company, it has taken a public role in promoting election debates and is therefore obliged to act in a fair and reasonable manner.
The Court is expected to hear arguments this afternoon.
