that was only the second-most interesting thing Winston said yesterday, he also all but outright claimed that Sabin got done for domestic violence.

linked directly to what he said, but the whole thing is good (terrible) for how obfuscatory the Nats are about it.

How long can the police inquiry drag on before they have to publish a result?

If you mean revealing the details, maybe never? If it is a DV case then name suppression might have been the right thing to do, in order to protect the victim.

I was more thinking of how long it will take them to decide if they're going to charge him with something. I'm assuming this inquiry is a preliminary to that decision, if not then I'm very confused.

The speaker *appeared* to accidentally confirm that Sabin has name suppression and is therefore likely to be the prominent New Zealander in this story, in which case he's facing multiple charges

I understand the reasoning for that higher benchmark to receive compensation, but the guy still spent 13 years in prison and had nothing but charity to rely on when he got out. eesh.

Butt Wizard posted:

Running a party well means not allowing MPs to attend events celebrating people that they happen to think should have less human rights than others. Not sure what Alfred Ngaro was trying to achieve there, he's supposed to be building his profile in West Auckland. But it's something that should have been communicated from the party - or at least Nikki Kaye should have pulled them up on it. It reflects kind of badly on her for not doing so tbh.

If they are going to turn around and say "Yea, we were wrong about the marriage amendment legislation, it's a good thing and we should have voted for it" then there's no real problem with them going. But otherwise it's incredibly transparent.

E: Also, ATM vandalised in Ponsonby was by a group who wanted to protest against pink washing.

http://hashtag500words.com/2015/02/21/political-statement-regarding-vandalism-of-gaytm/

Alfred Ngaro's the guy who allegedly hit a school teacher for not praying, so I doubt he just voted against on behalf of his constituency. The GayTM thing is so dumb, they chose the lightest-possible shade of pink & relied on a single poster to explain (which either fell on the ground or was concealed by ANZ).

dusty posted:

Shouldn't the queer community be allowed to have a pride parade that is a safe space? This angry 6-foot plus protestor jumping the barriers before screaming and fighting with security left many participants literally shaking.

Hope these idiots are prosecuted.

no one was 6 foot and no one tried to fight with security. The only one who got arrested was the person who filmed what happened to the protestor.
