Reference in early morning talk show to fat people as “a bunch of pigs” – offending words said in context of discussion of incident at rugby test against the All Blacks when spectator assaulted the referee – considering the irreverent style of the talk show host (Gareth Cliff) and the context in which the words were uttered, found not to be in the nature of hate speech – no contravention of the Broadcasting Code. Remarks in bad taste.
