Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister for Broadcasting and Media): As has been the practice for decades, any funding for broadcasters or media organisations goes through New Zealand On Air, and the Public Interest Journalism Fund is no different. The Broadcasting Act states that in respect of New Zealand On Air, no responsible Minister or any other Minister or anyone acting on their behalf may give a direction in respect of any programme or content for the gathering, preparation, or presentation of any current affairs programme or content. And this legislation delivers a well-established, tried, and tested system that makes sure media content funding decisions are free from political influence.
