Talofa Original,
Here is an extract from the BSA decision: http://www.bsa.govt.nz/decisions/2009/2009-066.html
[186] In response to a question from the Authority, TVNZ stated that both the One News and Tagata Pasifika items were still available on TVNZ's website. The broadcaster accepted that section 13(1)(a) of the Broadcasting Act 1989 was expressed in broad terms, it submitted that the exercise of the Authority's powers in respect of online publications should take into account the following:
TVNZ would not consider whether to remove the items from the website until the Authority had issued a final decision, and the decision on how to manage this was appropriately left for the broadcaster to make.
Website publications fall outside the jurisdiction of the Authority.
TVNZ's website is its archive, which should be left for TVNZ to manage. Further, it was unlikely anyone would come across the items by accident.
TVNZ was entitled to disagree with the grounds on which the Authority upheld the complaint, as they were "based on an evaluative assessment to which other opinions may be equally valid".
[187] Responding to TVNZ's submissions, the complainant contended that TVNZ should accept the Authority's ruling. It said that TVNZ had a statutory responsibility not to misinform its audience, and submitted that a statement should be published alongside the items on the website.
[188] TVNZ replied that it would decide whether or not to remove the items once it had received the Authority's final decision.
