Radio NZ recently published a story about a child whose case was being handled by Oranga Tamariki. The story did not contain any personal information about the child other than their length of stay in the hospital. The DHB had warned the state broadcaster about its concerns about media accessing illegally obtained data and after the story was published, sought an injunction against its further use. The DHB argued that Radio NZ’s refusal to hold off on publishing the information, meant it was unable to contact the child or their whānau or caregivers before publication. It also said that although the child was not expressly named in the Radio NZ publications, it was “easily identifiable in the Radio NZ stories by those who know of the child or their circumstances”.
