- electronic document (90 pages) ; PDF file
Released June 2023. Submissions close 31 July 2023.
A summary of submissions was released in 2024, however the project has not progressed under the Coalition government.
The objectives of this review are:
• To achieve better consumer protection for all New
Zealanders and their communities by setting safety-based
outcomes and expectations for platforms;
• To provide better protection to children, young people and
other vulnerable New Zealanders;
• To reduce risk and improve safety without detracting from
essential rights like freedom of expression and freedom of
the press;
• To promote a safe and inclusive content environment while
remaining consistent with the principles of a free, open,
and secure internet.
The discussion document seeks feedback on a possible
overall approach, with some high-level detail about how
this might be delivered in practice. We’ll use this feedback to
shape further decisions about the approach, the legislation,
and the development of a new regulator to implement the
changes. (From the factsheet). Submissions close 31 July 2023.
On the consultation page, there are links to an executive summary in English and te reo Māori and fact sheets in English, Māori, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Dari, Farsi, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Malaysian, Pashtu, Samoan, Somali, Tongan, Turkish and Urdu, and the opportunity to register for online information seesions on 24 June, 8 & 20 July 2023.
