The Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed a private claim that Prime Minister John Key violated a waitress' rights when he pulled her hair.


Cool, good to know getting cornered and mollested by the prime minister over multiple days isn't a violation of your rights.

It was dismissed because it was a claim brought in respect of employment rights (and Key wasn't her employer, so there was no cause of action) and it was brought by Graham McCready without the victim's consent (so he had no grounds for the claim that wouldn't work).

Like, I hate John Key a lot, but I don't see how you can view this as anything other than the correct decision.

Murray McCully is apparently so good at foreign relations that Israel is telling him to stfu and mind his own business over his proposal that Palestine give up any authority to seek international redress for Israeli warcrimes and in exchange Israel simply agrees to stop settlements - an empty promise they've been more than happy to make to their diplomatic advantage in the past.

Can't really blame McCully for Israel right now, to be fair.

Christmas Island:

quote:

Just been on the phone tonight to another detainee on Christmas Island. He's been on the Island 3 months. He's been in isolation all that time, locked up 23 hours a day. He was released into mainstream today. He was the one guy the Detention Centre refused to let me see last Friday. After hearing his story I can understand why.
The ERT (riot squad) stormed his cell some time back, threw him on the floor, zip tied his hands, lay a riot shield on him, twisting his legs to immobilise him, but went beyond what was necessary and snapped a ligament in his leg while they pummelled him.
When he finally got to see a doctor, he was given a medical certificate to say his ligament was snapped and he needed surgery. The ERT raided his cell soon after, took all his clothes and the paperwork. Now he doesn't have that certificate/ proof any longer. When he asked for his clothes and the medical certificate, he was told they don't know what happened to any of his things.
He was made to live in his undies and given dry cereal to eat with no utensils. He was hosed down with a fire hose and left in his wet undies. They cranked the air conditioning up so that he froze. He sat in the shower at night with the water on hot until it ran out, just to warm up.
He told of how they tried to force him into signing papers to send him back to NZ.
Soon after arriving on Christmas Island four Iranians hung themselves. He cut one down and put him in the recovery position then pushed the emergency alarm. The nurses arrived about an hour later and laughed at him. He hasn't seen three of the Iranians since, he's not sure whether they survived.
This is all happening in Australia folks.

Excuse me it's technically NOT happening in Australia also talking about it to anyone is illegal so good luck on Christmas Island Mr Marx.

So there have been a lot of questions and concerns raised around his form in the past, but I know everyone's eyes are going to be on one person tomorrow morning NZ time. A lot of people doubt him, particularly after bombing out at the last World Cup but he's had four years to work on it and his recent performances are really promising. At the end of the day I'm confident that by this time tomorrow, whether we win or lose, all those questions will be put to bed: John Key will be able to manage a normal handshake.

Nobody respects our national sport more than John Key, and that is why there is absolutely no way he will fail to deliver at the beginning of the day tomorrow when we show the world that we always and truly punch above our weight on the international stage when it comes to the sport of choking when it counts.

I'm sad that my halloweens no longer are spent working at Spookers on easily the best night of the year. So I'm going to get absolutely messed up in costume with friends. Basically the same thing.

I'm glad kids in Hamilton are too terrified to go trick or treating because they might get injected with crystal meth. Means I can relax and eat my sunshine mix from countdown in peace.

The little yoghurt balls are pro tier, the dried banana chips are just under that, then the fruit, then last up the nuts.
