Allegations that the Government had been aware of the distribution of genetically modified (GM) corn, made in a book published on 10 July 2002, were the subject of a 3 News Special programme broadcast on TV3 between 7.00pm and 7.30pm on that day. Interviews with the book’s author and the Prime Minister were broadcast during the programme. The interview of the Prime Minister was recorded the day before the book was published and no mention of the book was made during the interview.
