From: Paul Barlow
Dear Television New Zealand Limited,
Recently hosts on Newstalk ZB and individuals connected to lobby group the Tax Payers Union made claims that an unnamed TVNZ Executive reached out to Police Minister Mark Mitchell to apologise over coverage 1News had where they pointed out that gang numbers now exceed police numbers despite a public promise this would not happen from the Prime Minister.
I am using this OIA to request any information in relation to communications to the Police commissioner from any TVNZ executive or management apologising for any coverage relating to crime data. Or confirmation that no such communication exists.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Barlow
