From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 11 August 2020

After battling for 12 years, and heading all the way to the Supreme Court, Greenpeace is celebrating that the High Court has ruled now the organisation is entitled to register as a charity.

The court has ruled that the Charities Registration Board was wrong to decline an application from the environmental group.

Russel Norman is Greenpeace New Zealand's executive director.
