The Registrar received a complaint concerning alleged derogatory treatment of a listener by a 
presenter on 5FM during the Drive Time show at 17:35. Clause 38 of the Broadcasting Code protects the dignity of persons. On having listened to the debate which took place between the presenter and the caller it is clear that the caller voluntarily took part in a war of words and demonstrated a sense of humour by sparring with the presenter. It is, indeed, significant that the caller did not complain about the broadcast himself. The Tribunal dismissed the complaint.
