On April 24, 2026, the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) dismissed a complaint against two RNZ National news bulletins from Right to Life. The complaint alleged breaches of balance and accuracy standards regarding RNZ's reporting on comments made by Magma Healthcare Director Dr. Simon Snook about an increase in abortions in 2024, but the BSA did not uphold the complaint.
