New Zealand journalist Ian Wishart has filed two High Court appeals challenging broadcasters’ claims about climate change.
“The cases concern reports describing a Dunedin rainfall event as the city’s ‘wettest day in over a century’ and Hamilton as experiencing its ‘hottest days’ during a heatwave. Wishart argues historical records do not support those claims,” a GiveALittle page to raise funds for the legal action says.
If you believe corporate media should be held to account for accurate, honest, impartial reporting, please support Wishart’s legal case against inaccurate climate reporting.

Ian Wishart is a New Zealand journalist, author and publisher widely recognised for his role as the editor of Investigate magazine and founder of Howling at the Moon publishing, which has published many of Wishart’s books.
He rose to prominence in the 1990s as the lead reporter on the Winebox Affair, an investigation into corporate fraud and tax evasion that led to a Royal Commission of Inquiry and a landmark television documentary.
And now, Wishart is taking on the false climate change narrative being disseminated by New Zealand’s corporate media.
Help Ian Wishart Bust The Bias In Climate Reporting
The following, excepting the related articles at the end, is reproduced from Ian Wishart’s GiveALittle fundraising page.
Ian Wishart has filed two High Court appeals to clarify broadcasters’ responsibility to verify claims about climate and extreme weather.
The cases concern reports describing a Dunedin rainfall event as the city’s “wettest day in over a century” and Hamilton as experiencing its “hottest days” during a heatwave. Wishart argues historical records do not support those claims.
These claims are not about whether climate change is real, but whether broadcasters should check factual claims, accurately represent the evidence and correct reports when challenged.
The broadcasters and the Broadcasting Standards Authority argue media organisations should be able to rely on expert bodies without independently checking the underlying facts. Wishart’s appeals will test that position.
We are seeking $35,000 to help him fight these cases. Ian is representing himself, so the funds will not pay his personal legal fees. They will support court and related costs.
The cost breakdown:
- Costs exposure of up to $12,000 from the completed broadcast standards appeal.
- Costs exposure of up to $12,000 from the second appeal.
- $5,764 in costs from the interlocutory hearing.
“This appeal is not putting climate change on trial. It is putting climate change reportage on trial and, as a consequence, the broadcasting regulator.”

No one believes the mainstream news any more because they, like many governments, are handed their opinions by the New World Order… 2300 and all that.
Having ,in New Zealand south island , pitched an expedition tent on a moss pocketed raised bank of heather , on a convenient rockfall landslide ,next to a road cutting , the evening’s experience ,even for scots ,was new .
Lakes that grew spontaneously on the zero clay base of West Coast Rainforest cuttings ; where a few desultry frogs ,turned out hundreds ,calling ‘more ,more’ to the sky within hours . A shallow breadth of 3m suddenly became 70metres ,one night’s’ rain .
We had stayed somewhat quizzically dry ,filling pans with litres of water in minutes -just outside the tent’s tunnel entrance ,1991 .
Questions which got answered by a professional govt geographer from Greymouth within the tandeming week .
Whitcombe Pass ,nearby got 17metres of rain PER YEAR ,1991 .
AI will skirt the issue ,because its volubility is not programmed to accept this official fact ,today .
Look up Henk Stengs for why .
School uniform was almost foreign legion style – for primary schools – because the ozone hole ‘then ,meant skin cancers were in up to 2/3rds of australian polulation ,at that time .
So Kiwi’s were rightly unimpressed .
For Hamilton to berate a ‘hottest day’ on record ,therefore has the ozone hole’s progressions to justify ,scientifically .Blindness in sheep frpm NZ to S Amerca ,was common ,due to this fact .
So for Mossad ,Gates ,or any cold harbour enthusiast to bleat antipodean panic -THESE days – needs to resist Elon Musk’s charges against me,in Telegraph ‘of cherry picking’ , 2023 .
Chance would be a fine thing ,never saw one cherry in all our 2000 kms off road ,in S Island .
