New Zealand and Britain are also reviewing their regulatory approaches and frameworks for new and old media.
His remarks yesterday follow concerns that the Government's move - requiring prominent local news sites to get licences - amounts to tighter regulation.
He noted that New Zealand's Law Commission recently called for an independent watchdog to oversee broadcast, print and online news. It will have the power to censure and ask for material to be removed from a website as well as for a published apology.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO EXAMPLES WHICH ARE AGAINST THEIR INTENTIONS, THEY TOUT THE "BUT WE ARE DIFFERENT" LINE
