The High Court has prevented the showing of the videotaped confession and required it be returned to the Court:
Rogers v TVNZ (Auckland HC,
22 December 2005, Venning & Winkelmann JJ)
For more background info, listen to Steven Price's comment:

The excluded confession apparently isn't as clear-cut as it seems.

Gee, many, many considerations here. At the end of the day though TVNZ surely has a greater right to show the tape than Rogers has in not having it shown. Indeed, there is stuff on it which could back him up somewhat. Strange stuff.
