Interesting Names — Looters

by Whaleoil September 6, 2010

A hang­ing judge is what is needed in Christchurch, looks like they might have found one in Judge Michael Cros­bie. Any­one caught loot­ing in the wake of Christchurch’s dev­as­tat­ing earth­quake on Sat­ur­day would be harshly treated by the courts, a judge warned today. “The court will be tak­ing a close look at peo­ple who offended […]

Just having a conversation here about Interesting Names

by Whaleoil September 2, 2010

I see one of the Inter­est­ing Names is in the paper again. A doc­tor has been sus­pended from prac­tis­ing for nine months after plead­ing guilty to pos­sess­ing images of child sex abuse. The doc­tor, whose name is sup­pressed, was sen­tenced to four months’ home deten­tion after admit­ting 25 charges of pos­sess­ing objec­tion­able mate­r­ial and one charge […]

Name the little sh*ts

by Whaleoil August 31, 2010

I can’t believe that they aren’t being charged. Every day the SPCA deals with 20–30 ani­mal abuse cases. This week, the soci­ety says it came across a case where the abuse has moved from being sim­ply cruel, to being down­right crim­i­nal. Over the week­end, four teenagers were found tor­tur­ing a two-month-old puppy before it was rescued […]

Jail for stealing pinapple lumps…what about for dog basketball?

by Whaleoil August 31, 2010

I see in the paper that; Two youths have been jailed over the theft of a packet of pineap­ple lumps worth $2.90. Darcy Te Kiri, 20, and Boudene Gerry Walden, also known as Mahi­awere, 21, were both jailed in the Rotorua Dis­trict Court after plead­ing guilty to the aggra­vated rob­bery of Jeram’s Super­ette in March this year.

No Name Suppression for this guy

by Whaleoil August 30, 2010

In Aus­tralia of course, there is no such thing as name sup­pres­sion, even when it is a celebrity and they are charged with child pornog­ra­phy offenses. If this was in new Zealand he would for sure be hid­ing behind the burqa of name sup­pres­sion. A com­puter held by the Aus­tralian Fed­eral Police is to be […]

Parting gift from Chief Wiggum

by Whaleoil August 30, 2010

It is no secret that Chief Wig­gum Howard Broad has no friends at the Police Asso­ci­a­tion and there­fore no sur­prise that Chief Wig­gum left the lit­tle land­mine of his opin­ion about licenc­ing of police bars. What Chief Wig­gum didn’t tell the media though in his lit­tle spin-fest was that he once got so ham­mered at […]

Let them eat Nutraloaf

by Whaleoil August 29, 2010

I have another idea for Crusher — Nutraloaf. from Boing Boing The author­i­ties at Cook County Jail have a new way to pun­ish unruly inmates: Nutraloaf, a dense block of food-like stuff that meets the require­ments of pro­vid­ing pris­on­ers with daily calo­rie intake and nutri­ents, but deprives them of enjoy­ment. Chicago mag­a­zine sent food critic […]

I’ll start listening to teachers on National Standards when they stop hiding criminals

by Whaleoil August 29, 2010

I’m over the teach­ers unions, The Teach­ers Coun­cil and teach­ers in gen­eral. They are against National Stan­dards for no other rea­son that it is the national party propos­ing it, they want huge pay increases because they were silent for Labour for nine years, and they through the Teach­ers Coun­cil and the reg­is­tra­tion board keep allowing […]

Quote of the Week — Judith Collins

by Whaleoil August 29, 2010

“It’s dif­fi­cult to edu­cate them [flee­ing dri­vers] because, frankly, they’re … utter morons, and they leave this utter dev­as­ta­tion in their wake.” Judith Collins is right on the money. Of course there will be the hand-wringers out there say­ing that we should show com­pas­sion but frankly it is com­pas­sion in our soci­ety that has got us into […]

by Whaleoil August 27, 2010

This week I was in court debat­ing the fail­ings of name sup­pres­sion with a judge and the crown.

Cosgrove cops one on Red Radio

by Whaleoil August 26, 2010

Plug­head Cos­grove copped one sweet in the chook on Red Radio today when Geoff Robin­son called him on his bull­shit and he also got a good fist in the face from Crusher as well. How on earth can Clay­ton Cos­grove advo­cate the min­is­ter breaks the law. You have to won­der how he can look him­self in […]

When cowards attack

by Whaleoil August 25, 2010

Henk van Hel­mond is a cow­ard. He attacks me from his “blog” and calls me a wimp. As you may know Henk is a mem­ber of the Angry Dad’s Club prone to brik chuck­ing and other inani­ties. So how did your defence go when the Police charged you with breach­ing name sup­pres­sion Henk? Oh that’s […]

Court Round Up

by Whaleoil August 25, 2010

Today was a pretty hec­tic day so not much blog­ging, and I’m bloody exhausted, so here is a sum­mary of cov­er­age from the day in court. The media did a ster­ling job in report­ing pro­ceed­ing even with rul­ings from the Judge that don’t apply to any other nor­mal pro­ceed­ings. Media peo­ple I spoke to said […]
