Paul Spoonley: Sociologist says the Law Commission is better placed to work on hate speech legislation, than the Govt
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays
A sociologist says the Law Commission is better placed to work on hate speech legislation, than the Government. The legislation has been thrown on its policy bonfire and is punting the work to the commission instead. Massey University's Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking some aspect of what was going to Parliament does need another look. But he says this has been on the books for about four years. "The Ministry of Justice had a look twice, the royal commission had some things to say, there were 19,000 submissions on the proposals so there's a lot of water under this bridge."
