New Zealand's suppression laws are back in the spotlight. 

This comes after the Mowbray family called out those on TikTok who placed Mat Mowbray at the centre of a child abuse material case.

The man who was jailed in this particular case has permanent name suppression and has been identified only as a member of a wealthy Kiwi family.

But that didn鈥檛 stop people on social media from pointing the finger at Mowbray鈥攁nd now the family are calling for a review of our suppression laws.

Retired law professor Bill Hodge joined Ryan Bridge to discuss.
