Broadcast which included a fundamental error as to Christian religion found to have contravened clause 12(2) of the Broadcasting Code.
The Tribunal stated the following:In the normal course, this clause has not been applied to errors in so far as religion is concerned. However, there is no reason why certain matters pertaining to religion cannot amount to matters of public importance. So as to ensure that freedom of religious expression or freedom of expression generally is not unduly limited, a narrow meaning is attached to the words “public importance”. Complaint upheld.
