The NZ Media Council has upheld a complaint against a RNZ story on accuracy.

The story titled Florist says Julie Anne Genter exchange was a 'massive imbalance of power' was about a Wellington florist's claim of being bullied by Green MP Julie Anne Genter over a controversial cycleway project in Newtown.

The article incorrectly claimed that car parks were removed from outside the florist's shop to make way for a cycleway.

Complainant Tom Pearce provided photographic evidence showing there have never been car parks or a cycleway directly outside the shop on Riddiford Street.

That's a pretty big detail to get wrong actually, I'd expect better from RNZ.
