Do they have additional information that they did not have before Or did they and TVNZ decide to overlook what they knew ? Also I loved his comment about the pressure of 2 high paying jobs That was his choice surely	Paul Camford (10007)
686839	2008-07-10 08:17:00	My point would be that this is trial by media again. We have no idea what happened and speculation would not help in selecting a jury should the matter get to the point of a trial as it may do. home.nzcity.co.nz How did this story hit the headlines I wonder. The event is a couple of years old now. Tony is apparently guilty because there was a payment according to the media. Has the Ex run out of money now? The matter should go to court and be proven in my view. I should add that violence is not normally a solution to a problem but we also do not know what provocation may have been offered by either party. As I was not there on the night in question I should not come to a conclusion until I hear the truth from both parties.	Sweep (90)

The Piper must be paid, and so far that hasn't happened. But yeah, Someone deliberately staged this leak, That much is pretty obvious. Did I mention the piper must be paid?	Metla (12)

I personally think its a great shame for Tony to lose his career over....It was in the passed, he made reparations, appears he still is! He can now thank his media colleagues for destroying his career..... I think the only hope for him now is to do the anti-violent ad's on telly and be a spokesman against violence.....maybe enough to help him back....	SolMiester (139)

686844	2008-07-10 23:46:00	The news media would not have published this story without checking it very carefully. Veitch hasn't denied any of it - specifically the broken back which if untrue you'd expect him to make a noise about. Makes me sick. He paid her something approaching $170,000. Sounds like hush money to me. I'd be surprised if his bosses knew about this. He earns $400,000 pa plus public speaking fees etc. That's a lot of money at risk which explains why he wanted it hushed up. Why did she accept it? This woman was off work for 4 months and eventually left her job. You'd need to understand the psychology of an assault victim to appreciate why giving in and taking the offer is easier than ruining the career of someone you loved. I'm sure she was under a lot of pressure from Veitch, his lawyers, and possibly mutual friends. Radio Sport already has advertisers withdrawing. Media people like Veitch have code of conduct clauses in their employment agreements and he has clearly breached that. I have never liked the smart-alec and as pointed out above, this isn't the first indication of his arrogant violent streak. Worm.	Winston001 (3612)

686846	2008-07-11 00:46:00	And that about sums up your contribution to this debate. Thanks. :( What's your point? The point of his post was to sum up his contribution to this debate. Or are you taking the role of moderator for this thread now? Should I just PM you for permission if I feel like posting again?	Thebananamonkey (7741)
686847	2008-07-11 00:52:00	Winston's post as always is well thought out and clear, and always make a worthwhile contribution to the discussion at hand, Surely even a moron can see that, even if they don't agree with his views. Perhaps not, I don't quite know how to factor "moron" into the equation, Perhaps its art rather then science.	Metla (12)
