Information relevant to Leighton Smith's Broadcasting career[edit]

Summary

Newstalk ZB’s morning talkback show on 15 September 2000 included an item about a press conference with boxing legend Muhammad Ali, held at the Olympic Games in Sydney the previous day. During the item, the host used the words "cocky nigger" when referring to Muhammad Ali at the time of his gold medal win at the Rome Olympics in 1960.

Legal proceedings took place after complaints were lodged with the New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority, a legal representative of the New Zealand Government.
