Jillaine Heather: Free Speech Union CEO on the decision to permanently suppress sex offender's name

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

The Free Speech Union says the court should show its workings over permanently suppressing a sex offender's name.  The man sexually assaulted a woman over five years, and had other convictions for similar offences. The judge says naming the civil servant would bring him extreme hardship and could harm his family.  Union chief executive, Jillaine Heather, says having a vacuum of information can be dangerous.  "We can't even see the evidence, which only just leads you to start making conjectures of why this is happening."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
