The Justice Minister is questioning the ability of a key industry watchdog to regulate election year advertising, due to an adverse decision against him last month.
Andrew Little was talking about how the government aims to crack down on misinformation campaigns, and potentially for two contentious referenda, when he said he had little confidence in the judgement of the Advertising Standards Authority.
Last month the Authority dismissed a complaint he made in a personal capacity about a newspaper ad run by a National MP.
Political editor Jane Patterson reports.
