    Former TVNZ broadcaster and anti-vax campaigner Liz Gunn's Auckland Airport assault conviction's been overturned

    Former TVNZ broadcaster and anti-vax campaigner Liz Gunn's Auckland Airport assault conviction's been overturned

    Gunn was accused of having illegally grabbed a security officer's arm in February 2023, after she was told with a camera-man to leave.

    Her lawyer argued the touch was light and not intended to be hostile or confrontational.

    The 65-year-old was convicted and discharged in November -- meaning there was no punitive aspect other than the conviction itself.

    Today, a High Court judge ruled that was a miscarriage of justice, and the touch was acceptable physical contact, not assault.
