Corrections wins bid to stop Stuff journalist interviewing P

At the hearing early in December, Smith appeared by video link from prison to argue his own case for the interview request to be reconsidered.
Smith’s life imprisonment was imposed in 1996. He has been considered for parole several times since 2009, but so far parole has been declined.
Phillip John Smith argued for his freedom of expression.
Smith’s case to be released was harmed when he absconded while on leave from prison in 2014, and reached Brazil before being recaptured and returned to New Zealand.
The Department of Corrections refused the request of
Stuff journalist Harrison Christian to interview Smith in November 2017.
