In a move that sees this blog praise this Government twice in one week -- an unheard of anomaly -- Media and Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith has decided that adults can be adults without needing a nanny to oversee their media and comms. (This week the Broadcasting Standards Authority, next week the Classifications Office?)
The T-shirt was 95bFM's two fingers to the Authority, accompanying a not-so-quiet Public Notice to listeners about the standards to expect on the station.

“At this radio station [said the on-air notice)] we do our utmost to abide by the Broadcasting Standards Authority and their rules and guidelines.
“If you seriously think we’ve crossed the line on air, give us a call on 309 4831 and tell us about it. We’ll be able to help you out and tell you the procedure if you wish to make a formal complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
“Fuck-knuckles, cock and piss, balls. Thank you.”
It did take 25 years. But it did finally get one complaint.
