The photos in question, first taken two years ago and posted via Instagram, have now come to light, depicting a then 15-year-old girl wearing a bikini and blowing smoke from her mouth. The bikini itself is called the “Kaila” rasta top.

Nikki Paterson, case manager at the ASB, wrote an email in order to address citizen’s complaints, informing them that,
