Mike Antunovic the lawyer for of Wellington District Commander Superintendent Pieri Munro charged with assaulting his son today applied to the judge to have me charged with contempt and for an arrest warrant to be issued.
The Judge reportedly (from my spies sitting in court) rolled his eyes and asked Mr Antunovic is he wanted to spend the rest of the day arguing a contempt case or get on with dealing with his clients case. Clearly at this point in time the judge has prevailed, though I expect I can’t be far off being picked up for this.
One really shouldn’t upset the establishment, especially when they are Police, judges, lawyers and the Solicitor-General.
This trial is really looking like a case of hush for the boys. Suppression available for the guardians of the system. What ever happened to an open justice system. It is now a system for the boys and the famous.
I don’t really think the Solicitor-General understands the publicity hell that would unleash upon him should I be arrested and jailed.

I, too, salute you.
There used to be a phrase “justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.”
Damn sight little of either in this banana republic.

I just don’t ‘ get ‘ this shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. His name was published by no less than two newspapers. How can he now be granted name suppression?

So supposing you get arrested, what then? Presumably you can post bail and get out? Or can you not just pay for bail in NZ? And what happens if you mention some interesting names while on bail or link to a newspaper article which names a person? I suppose the lawyer would just wee his pants then.

I don’t think Michael is the brighest of lawyers and in my view, is hardly an adversary in the courtroom. Interesting that his team failed miserably in arguing against corrupt, Crown prosecuters and a sick, old and bias judge (who had no business been on the bench), in R vs Watson.

Good luck to you Whale.
If you are ever formally charged and the matter goes to Court the public debate will be intense. However within the Law Profession the debate will be especially vibrant I suspect.
The problem with non-disclosure of identity is that it does not achieve what it is intended to do. The rationale of non-disclosure is to achieve a verdict untainted by public opinion and, should an accused be found not guilty, to allow that accused to carry on with life unaffected. These may be tenable aims in a larger community but here in NZ our population is scarcely greater than a mid-size city in other countries. The notion of anyone facing charges without his/her identity becoming known to a significant portion of the community is futile. You are not damaging anyone or anything by releasing details.

Good luck Cameron, you know my views on name suppression The N.Z judicial system is set up to protect the crims and not the victims. My exhusband got name suppression when convicted for fraud last year…the judge gave him this without seeking my views on the matter therefore breaching my rights as a victim.Simon Power wrote to me and said I should get a lawyer to overturn this, why should I have to pay for one of those snakes to use the court as a further ride on the gravy train…I would rather pay the $1000 fine or go to jail for breaching the name suppression order. Where is the best place for me to publish his name?

Probably need to change your name to fuckwitjuice.
While you are at it maybe explain why arseholes should get the protection not afforded to their victims or the rest of the law-abiding citizenry of this country.

fuckwitjuice– i love it, very witty titanicsphincter, or is that whaleoil? a bit sad isn’t it logging on to your own blog under different psuedonyms? I’m more concerned with the favourable treatment given to your rich mates when it comes to sentencing, most recent example being Mark Bryers.
