PJ:yuck: Why should the police get involved? The courts have already done their bit - all he's guilty of is being a hypocrite (read "politician").... Karma will sort him out at the next election.

Agreed that the Police should not get involved but the Court did not do their part in the first place in my opinion. Garrett should have been convicted, fined or imprisoned as the case may be and in no way should name suppression have been granted which is where we may disagree. Admitted that the offence happened 25 years ago but at that time Garrett was some 25-26 years old and went about it in a way that was calculated. Hardly a prank like stuffing a cracker in a letter box as a teenager for example. If this had come out before the last election would ACT have even Rodney Hide with a seat in Parliament especially as he say's he knew about the offence. Added to the recent fracas in the Act Party with a failed coup etc I suspect that the Act Party is a gone party. |

Open and shut case for discharge and name suppression. All the crap about the dead baby is nonsense, no one needed to ever know who the baby was (and therefore the parents couldn't get offended when they found out). Funny how people think the Police can be involved now, he's already been through the Court system. Although the three strikes law is clearly a nonsense, all we've really learned here is something about the caliber of people who propose this sort of three strike nonsense. Often seems the three strikes proponents are the type of people have lived a bit close to the edge themselves, in this case he apparently went about over the edge. |

Once apon a time I used to go fishing in Wellington Harbour at the bottom of Ngauranga Gorge. At that time there used to be an abbatoir up there and I thought it had been demolished. Apparently I was wrong as the offal still keeps coming from the same place. You seem to suggest that if the system hides offences by issuing name suppression then the offence did not happen and therefore nobody should be offended. Let's not forget that Garrett is the Law and Order spokesman for the Act Party and the false passport is on top of other convictions. Further to that I was under the impression that if you were convicted of an offence that carried a maximum penalty of a certain time in prison whether you were actually handed that penalty or not it may exclude you from visiting certain countries or holding certain jobs. And sadly, you seem to defend the lack of truth, honesty and Justice in the so called Justice system. |
