Unreported for nearly a year: media misconduct in Parliament\nUnreported for nearly a year: media misconduct in Parliament\n\nAni O'Brien\n\n  * 🍷 **Pre-Budget Event** : On 13 May 2025, Finance Minister Nicola Willis hosted a standard pre-Budget drinks event for journalists and staff, but it ended abruptly due to a disruptive incident.\n  * 🏳️‍🌈 **Homophobic Slur** : TVNZ political editor Maiki Sherman repeatedly shouted a homophobic slur at fellow journalist Lloyd Burr, reportedly in response to a racial slur Burr denies using.\n  * 🍻 **Journalist Misconduct** : The event was shut down after the verbal altercation, but the incident remained largely unreported by the media, despite corroboration from multiple witnesses.\n  * 📉 **Media Double Standards** : While politicians face intense scrutiny for even minor missteps, journalists, including Sherman, operate with little accountability despite their own ethical lapses.\n  * 📜 **Parliamentary Rules** : Journalists are expected to adhere to conduct standards in Parliament, but enforcement is lax, with a notable gap between the rules and real-world application.\n  * 🕵️‍♂️ **Lack of Accountability** : TVNZ, a state-owned broadcaster, has repeatedly refused to release information on complaints against its staff, undermining transparency and public trust.\n  * ⚖️ **Unequal Scrutiny** : The media system in New Zealand reveals a significant imbalance, where journalists are often shielded from scrutiny while politicians are relentlessly held accountable.\n  * 📰 **Closed Ranks** : Internal reluctance to report on the misconduct of prominent journalists, especially those like Maiki Sherman, reflects a broader issue of media protecting their own.\n  * 🏛️ **Media’s Duty** : The media, tasked with holding power to account, must also demonstrate accountability and transparency within its own ranks to maintain credibility in a democratic system.\n  * 🔄 **Cynicism and Trust** : The public’s growing awareness of double standards in media scrutiny breeds cynicism and erodes trust in both the media and political institutions.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
