Decision of the Broadcasting Tribunal

IN the matter of the Broadcasting Act 1976, and in the matter of a complaint, pursuant to section 67 (1) (b) of the Act, between Clifford Reginald Turner and Arthur William Rushton Mead, complainants, and Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand, respondent:

BEFORE THE BROADCASTING TRIBUNAL
Members: B. H. Slane (Chairman), Lionel R. Sceats, and Janet C. Somerville.
Co-opted members: S. H. Gardiner, and A. M. Perry.
Hearing at Wellington on the 26th day of September 1977.

DECISION

Mr C. R. Turner and Reverend A. W. R. Mead separately complained to the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand about the television commercial advertising the Lion Breweries “Man of the Test” promotion. They were dissatisfied with the corporation’s rejection of their complaints.

It is not necessary to traverse in detail the complaints made to the Tribunal by each of the complainants except to say that one of them was unaware of the broadcasting rules made by the corporation and relied upon breaches of the Broadcasting Act.

The Tribunal does not consider that the advertisements were in breach of the statutory provision for the observance of good taste and decency (S. 24 (1) (c) Broadcasting Act 1976) or relating to the maintenance of law and order (S. 24 (1) (f)).

However, it is complained that the advertisement is in breach of the advertisement rules. The corporation itself restricts advertisements for alcoholic beverages by those rules which provide that:

“No station shall broadcast any advertisement which directly or by implication:

(q) Is designed to promote the general consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Advertisements for alcohol may be made only in accordance with the following conditions:”
