The High Court has granted the Attorney-General an emergency injunction to prevent RNZ from publishing details of a secret education report. The gag order follows RNZ seeking comment on a document titled 'Report: Budget 25 Initiative Themes'. The injunction aims to protect the government's ability to participate in collective bargaining.
