www.nzherald.co.nz

The part that is very wrong is that an employer has stood down a man from his job because of something he did that wasn't illegal,that's right,wasn't illegal. And he was off duty and in a private home. nanny state.

And he was off duty and in a private home.Standing the man down was a perfectly reasonable action as far as I'm concerned, given that: "This will enable our staff member to deal with the situation and the media interest without affecting his and our organisational ability to respond to patient needs ..."

537501 2007-04-01 23:50:00 The guy hasn't lost his job and is being paid. It is totally correct procedure in any job except perhaps the government where they seems to think differently eg: Phillips! SolMiester (139)

Quite often,apparently above the law.


One wonders at times what kind of state we live in,nanny or otherwise.

537504 2007-04-05 06:47:00 Interesting comment from Brad Shipton's brother at the bottom of that article: "Greg Shipton said Debbie Gerbich's revelations last week had destroyed the entire Shipton family, who were "good law-abiding members of the community".

Um no.....your brother destroyed your family when he chose to abduct and rape at least one woman. Yes blood is thicker than water but to defend a convicted rapist is pretty low.

So why don't you get one of those cards? $45 for the entire year for the family, use whenever needed, you just give them the card number.

We've had one for years..........

Nope, that's charity by coercion. Make no mistake- they are running a business
