Not Upheld

Not Upheld: The Media Council did not agree with the complainant and found that the content did not breach its principles/standards.

This outcome also covers the slight variations Not Upheld with Dissent (the complaint was not upheld, but one or more Council members recorded a dissenting view) and Not Upheld on the Casting Vote of the Chairman (the Council was evenly divided and the Chairman's casting vote decided the outcome). These decisions are colour coded the same as Not Upheld.
