Grace Millane: Andrew Little calls out Google for latest suppression breaches

Google can expect another phone call from Justice Minister Andrew Little who says he's disappointed by the latest suppression breaches following the Grace Millane verdict.

Her murderer's name is still readily accessible online despite the search engine apologising for the same issue earlier this year and vowing to review its systems.

It's the one word that triggered a global reaction - guilty.

The BBC headlined it as 'a trial that gripped a nation'. But the UK's extensive coverage showed that really, it gripped two nations.

The gutwrenching words of Grace Millane's family played out on repeat on both sides of the globe.

But despite suppressions preventing New Zealand media from naming her killer, major overseas news publications ignored them and published it. Today via Google his face and name are just a quick click away.

The Justice Minister says it's incredibly disappointing.

"I will follow up early next week and gauge where things are at," he told Newshub.

"I know Ministry of Justice officials have been working with Google and I want to find out from them where they think things are at and how long it might take for Google to respond to the situation that we've got."

In July, Google apologised to Little after an email to subscribers named the killer.

Following that, the Justice Minister also began working with the UK, Australia and Canada on an agreement that would ensure local suppression orders can be enforced internationally.

But Little says that could still be two years away.

"I've got to uphold the integrity of our justice system and I'm doing everything I can to do that."

But even with today's breaches, it's Grace's name and legacy that remains at the forefront of this story.

'Love Grace', a new project run by her family, is turning her love of handbags into a life-changing initiative.

Donated bags are filled with everyday essentials and then gifted to victims of domestic violence who are trying to start a new life.

Members of the public are now picking up what her father said and posting pictures of the first sunset and sunrise since the verdict.

Restoring the memory of Grace Millane - for her - and her family.
