RNZ managed correctness for a whole five words, before suddenly turning Auckland into "the Auckland".
Didn't RNZ recently announce that all articles would be checked by a different staff member before publication?

Also, "Roe versus Wade". We're not American.
SirHumphreyAppleby:
Crime reporting has to follow the tenet of presumed innocence, and in particular you can't assert that someone is guilty before it's been tested in court. So this may sound like a nonsensical headline but that's the way it works.
Edited to add: From TFA: "Police would not confirm if the substance was concrete, but another protestor alleged it was". So there you go, the "alleged" is used exactly as it should be.
I believe the problem is that the very first word should be "bail", not "bailed".
In relation to feedback on Chorus fibre
The regime allows for Chorus to push fibre into more remote and rural areas - beyond the current 87-person footprint - if the expansion is underpinned by sound asset management principles and aligns with good telecommunications industry practice
I can assure Radio New Zealand that more the 87 people have access to fibre. Comcom says it's really 87 percent.
It's even worse than you think: the quote is taken directly from the ComCom press release, but with the "%" symbol converted to "person".
Yep, that's why I linked to the press release above. Obviously been through speech to text or something at some stage though. Didn't just cut and paste.
Ah, missed that, sorry!
If they'd just stuck to cutting and pasting, all would have been good!

You’re right but it must be asked: who confirmed that it was actually a hand and not some other body part? If you take this to PC Woke extremes it would say something like: “The organism alleged to be a human allegedly used concrete to allegedly adhere its alleged hand to a surface alleged to be a road”.
Are the media concerned that in court it could be revealed that the actual facts were that a wombat used eucalyptus gum to bind its ear to a subwoofer? Gimme a break.
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
eracode: “The organism alleged to be a human allegedly used concrete to allegedly adhere its alleged hand to a surface alleged to be a road”.
"Alleged organism"
