The current government is not among them.
In April, Justice Minister Kris Faafoi tabled a series of proposals to Cabinet which would reform New Zealand s hate speech laws.
This is a move several countries, including the UK, have made in recent years; the existing laws date back to 1993, an age without Facebook and Google, and when New Zealand was a much less diverse country.
But any significant change around hate speech involves censoring free speech - the cornerstone of liberal democracy. Any imposition on a person s right to speak their mind quite rightly comes under extreme scrutiny.

(File photo) This is a move several countries, including the UK, have made in recent years; the existing laws date back to 1993, an age without Facebook and Google, and when New Zealand was a much less diverse country. But any significant change around hate speech involves censoring free speech – the cornerstone of liberal democracy. Any imposition on a person s right to speak their mind quite rightly comes under extreme scrutiny. On this episode of
The Detail, Emile Donovan speaks to Newsroom.co.nz political reporter Marc Daalder and Canterbury University dean of law Ursula Cheer about what s being proposed; how it ll affect normal people; and whether legislative change is really the best way to cultivate a more tolerant society.
In the throes of Covid-19, senior staff at the NBR decided to regroup and have a think about what was actually being celebrated on the list and why - and made the decision to place more of a focus on the positive effects of wealth well-used. After this sabbatical, it s back - with a different name, and a different aim. Today on
The Detail, Emile Donovan sits down with the editor of the NBR’s Maria Slade to discuss The List, as it s now known; whether this change is simply a PR move for the mega-wealthy; and how these people are using the vast reservoir of resources at their disposal.

Change the outcome of just one or two possessions, and the ConVal girls’ lacrosse team would have pulled off the win over Lebanon Saturday. But the Cougars just let too many little things pile up, and the Raiders won in overtime, 9-8.
Derek Sorbello’s Cougars have just 10 players with varsity experience; the rest are sophomores or freshman who never took the field before last week, or are new to the sport entirely. Couple that with ConVal’s perennial preseason limitations – snow and rain aren’t kind to their fields, which cuts down on practice time – and it says lot about the Cougars that they were even in a game this early in the year, let alone in position to win one. Nonetheless, mental mistakes were the key to ConVal’s downfall Saturday morning.
