The Free Speech Union is considering appealing a permanent name suppression order granted to a man who was accused of assaulting an elderly woman at a women’s rights rally in Auckland last year.

The man was caught on film punching a 71-year-old woman in the head during a counter-protest. He later admitted to a charge of common assault.
