Comments on lift of name suppression
National's Police spokesman Tony Ryall says he is disappointed many in the media have decided to publicise 'Constable A's' name.
"In light of the circumstances it would have been more appropriate for the media to have continued showing restraint.
"Most New Zealanders have appreciated the responsible approach of the news media on this matter and will be disappointed this could not have continued," Mr Ryall said.
