Media outlets including RNZ are seeking an urgent appeal over name suppression granted to two people charged in the NZ First Foundation donations case.
The Serious Fraud Office has charged two people with obtaining by deception after its investigation into the foundation and its handling of donations.
They are accused of using a "fraudulent device, trick or stratagem" to secure more than $700,000 that was then used to pay expenses for the New Zealand First party.
