The Herald hired him. They also published an article which, as I remember, basically said "if we think about it, wasn't Veitch the real victim here?" No, gently caress off.

Yep, got banned from that. A post came up on my friend's Facebook link. I noticed someone had pointed out a typo of his, and he said he was multi-tasking, listing what he was doing. I left a comment that read like "you forgot to list 'beating up my missus,' mate" or something like that.

There are a load of DV comments on his photos he shares from Facebook that his staff [I assume] have to delete quickly. It's pretty humorous stuff until you remember that he threw someone down some stairs and broke someone's back because he is a complete rear end in a top hat

He actually got tired from beating her, went up stairs for a while, then came back down and continued. Meanwhile she was immobilised on the floor with a broken back, and had to lie there while he came back. It was loving sadistic.

I spoilered because probably not everyone wants to read about it in detail.

Its not like I don't believe in redemption and rehabilitation and second chances and all, but how can someone sit there listening to this cunthole rabbiting on about unimportant bullshit without thinking "he nearly beat someone to death" over and over again. "Good point on the referees decision there Veitchy, but you broke your partners back on purpose. I think that game was great and close too - but you repeatedly assaulted someone who was emotionally and financially dependent on you".

Like seriously. How is this man an authority anyone can stand listening to? I am sure he knows his poo poo, but there must be heaps of other people to listen to.

Mind you our prime minister sexually assaulted someone, and implied he can and does buy off scientists who agree with him, and people seem to think he is alright....

So you know that Te Reo thing for coins recently? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503437&objectid=11491714

quote:

The Maori Party is calling for any new distribution of New Zealand coins to have Maori and English on them.

The Reserve Bank is expected to roll out the first lot of $5 and $10 bank notes, which will feature more te reo Maori in October, followed by the $20, $50 and $100 bills next year.

Party co-leaders Marama Fox and Te Ururoa Flavell have enjoyed celebrating the 40th anniversary of Maori Language Week. The pair have been thinking about various ways the language can be shared with other people.

One idea the two co-leaders have come up with is to encourage te Putea Matua (the Reserve Bank) to go one step further and make a commitment to splashing more te reo on upcoming coins.

Turns out the Young Nats have something to say about that http://mananews.co.nz/wp/?p=7400

If NZ really wanted to respect our native heritage they'd put the corpses of all the Moriori the Māori killed while stealing this land from them on the 20 cent coin instead of some irrelevant savage that somehow undermines the rightful conquest of this land by White Man.
