Internet Freedom Monitoring in New Zealand

Summary

We conclude that of the 29 Internet Freedom indicators in the La Rue Framework New Zealand: 14/29 compliant including: basic legal framework; no generic bans / restriction on political content; high levels of access , no State sponsored cyber attacks and strong privacy laws 4/29 non-compliant: child sexual abuse images filter has no legal basis; protection of journalists and bloggers is weak; access to legal information needs improving; and the private sector is not transparent on content removal; 11/29 unclear: these include access issues for marginalised and vulnerable groups and proposed laws on national security and counter-terrorism (which were not developed at the time this research was completed, but have since become law).

Where we are doing well New Zealanders are generally free to express themselves online There is no criminal defamation New Zealands legal structure applies to and supports freedom of expression on the Internet Content blocking for solely political reasons does not occur and policies for operation of .nz adhere to rule of law in relation to takedown of online content. Government actions generally adhere to the rule of law and due process but there are significant exceptions which raise serious concerns The local Internet community is active in promoting human rights in Internet policy Internet access rates are high, there is diverse content and infrastructure development and improvements

Where we need to do better: There is a high degree of soft censorship and an apparent acceptance of this by many internet users. This is a concern given lack of transparency and few opportunities for input into filtering and content blocking policies of Internet service providers. Overall, Internet freedom related public policy is fragmented and contradictory: for example, on the one hand the law on Internet intermediary liability and the lawful basis for filtering of child sexual abuse images are unclear and have not been tested in the Courts. On the other hand there is increasing specificity and control over regulation for some online content and proposed new laws for online communications will set a lower legal standard for removal of online content than would be possible for offline content. Privacy laws are strong, but there are increasing concerns about privacy breaches by government agencies and the need to protect whistleblowers. The private sector is doing poorly in transparency reporting and is not generally engaged in Internet freedom debates. New Zealanders have access to some legal information for free, but access is poor for those who cannot afford premium fee-paying services and for access to secondary legal information, including case law.

Even Granny Herald has come to love Kiwibank. To the point where in May 2010, it was saying in an editorial that Kiwibank had been such a success, it should be semi-privatised! ...

So, riddle me this. Since Kiwibank has been such an acknowledged success, why on earth has Granny Herald been editorialising so strongly this week against the Labour Partys announcement of a Kiwi owned and operated insurance company, along Kiwibank lines?

The free service may stop or change significantly without enough financial assistance

By Sarah Fleischman

sfleischman@eveningsun.com @sefleischman on Twitter

Without enough financial support, Freedom Transit may permanently discontinue or significantly change its service.

Four municipalities and the Adams County commissioners were asked to provide funding to help keep Freedom Transit from reducing its service or ceasing it entirely, but none have made any commitments, said Richard Farr, executive director of the York Adams Transportation Authority.

The free system, which provided more than 149,000 trips in 2013 and grew 76 percent between 2012 and 2013, started in 2009 as a three-year demonstration project, according to a news release.

Now the demonstration period has ended, the authority no longer receives 100 percent of its funding from the federal government through a U.S. Department of Transportation grant, Farr said.

The annual operating cost of Freedom Transit is more than $900,000, he said.

The authority needs $65,264 in local funds to access more than $900,000 in state and federal funds, according to a news release.

Farr said the authority wrote letters to Cumberland Township, Straban Township, Gettysburg Borough and Mount Joy Township in May asking the municipalities to help supply the needed funds.
