Press Council Rejects Press Council Complaint Against New
Zealand Herald
The Palestine Human Rights Campaign (
P.H.R.C. ) had its complaint against the New Zealand Herald
to the Press Council REJECTED.
Regarding the lack of
published reports on the dismissal of Malcolm Evans from
the NZ Herald and the lack of fairness and non publication
of any Letters to the Editor reflecting the public interest
in his dismissal.
The New Zealand Herald, especially over
the 3 years of the current Intifada, has refused to cover
any of the activities of the P.H.R.C. ( over 36 rallies )
or accept any articles written by members. During the same
period it published a major article by the Auckland Jewish
Council to which a rebuttal was refused.
Such events
reflect of the lack of courage of its editors, particularly
in a year when the NZ Herald is congratulating itself on
140 years of journalistic excellence.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
