Attorney-General stops RNZ publishing education report

The High Court has issued an injunction, preventing RNZ from publishing a story that the Attorney-General claims would harm government negotiations. This gag order is in effect immediately. The injunction specifically blocks RNZ from reporting on a confidential pre-Budget education report. The Attorney-General argued the report contained sensitive information that could undermine the government's collective bargaining efforts. RNZ sought comment from the Education Minister's office after obtaining the report. The minister's office then warned RNZ against publishing any details from the document.
