I think the whole intention of publicity stunts like this is to get people talking about it like "wow that's so bad-dumb I don't fall for that poo poo so I'm gonna share it everywhere so everybody knows I don't fall for that poo poo" and then that poo poo gets everywhere because everybody is shouting to the godless heavens how little they care. I call it "Kanye Westing".

Surely the intention of this "publicity stunt" was for TV3 to make itself seem incompetent for hiring 2 terrible nobodies as judges, who proceeded to enrage an entire country and destroy what little hope of a career they had left?

In unrelated news, Canterbury won't have real democracy until at least 2019 under the new proposal released today: http://norightturn.blogspot.co.nz/2015/03/no-democracy-for-canterbury.html The Government appointed ECan has overseen a massive expansion of dairy farming in Canterbury that has reduced water quality and seen a massive increase in irrigation rights. In some cases the people deciding on water rights issues also directly benefit from them. This is in contradiction with general public opinion in polls I've seen but of course, we get no say and won't in the near future.

Can't we take a step out of the process and just make beneficiaries dump effluent into rivers whilst getting paid below minimum wage by farmers? Seems much simpler than the current setup.

I love CPAG. They're one of the most effective and worthwhile activist groups in NZ. Like when I think about who has actually managed to land blows on the govt recently, they're one of the few that come to mind.bobbilljim posted:

quote:84. Under section 134 of the Crimes Act 1961, everyone11 who has a sexual connection with, or does an indecent act on, a young person (under the age of 16 years) has committed an offence and is liable to a term of imprisonment (see paragraph 132). There is no question that these young men were aware that the young women involved in the six cases investigated by CPT staff were under 16 years. As a result of their interaction with Police officers, it is also evident that several of the young men (certainly by the time the investigation into Case 1 had concluded) were aware that they were committing an offence, irrespective of their own ages. The New Zealand Police thought that our statutory rape laws only applied when the underage partner had consented

So these guys were never charged and we have no statute of limitations on rape allegations. Why can't this be reinvestigated, properly this time?

I'm not a lawyer I would think they would need some new piece of evidence though, if the test they used before on the same evidence wasn't enough to prosecute before is now, then that can't support a fair justice system. Just need better investigators who don't cock up relatively simple enquires such as the alleged offenders history

Yeah, the tests that have been applied by the prosecutors on an investigation, what would have changed from the time they said no charges to be laid until the moment it became public to now. If those tests have changed, when why. Who has the decision etc. That is the most annoying thing from a policy pov, it's that who. Who made the decision to gently caress this up so badly. Because it has made it so easy to lay charges against the police that throw the organisation back decades after working so hard to start to rebuild [contrary to the thoughts of some here]. But like I said, I'm not a lawyer. The police employ God drat lawyers as prosecutors and advisors. You would think this would not be allowed to happen but it has. I hope these girls get some justice.
