| 344996 | 2005-04-16 08:23:00 | Congratulations on your passion Braindead. This sad case is worthy of discussion. I haven't read the Army report. It was released to Bob Moodie and has been read by the High Court. Unfortunately the Court did not allow the report as evidence. I can only speculate but possibly as Defence Department material it can be lawfully withheld and the Court cannot do anything. An interesting parallel - John Tamahere had to sell his house to pay his legal bills. This was to defend the allegations against him of fraud and corruption arising out of the Waipareira Trust. His name was cleared, just like the Berrymans. And yet there is no public campaign to compensate Tamahere who arguably was the victim of a political smear campaign. Why not? |

| 344997 | 2005-04-16 08:37:00 | Hi Winstone. We didn't really need the parallel to fog things up. Two wrongs do not make a right. Bob Moodie could well go down here for attempting to uphold an element of decency and "justice". :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||

| 344999 | 2005-04-16 09:26:00 | lawyer Bob Moodie has put his own career on the line. Just for the sake of accuracy, the Army have complained to the New Zealand Law Society. I'd have thought they'd have the Attorney-General prosecute him if he's really done something illegal. The Law Society may find grounds for complaint but I doubt that there is any risk of Moodie being disbarred. |

| 345000 | 2005-04-17 00:56:00 | I find it hard to see the need for Tamahere to sell his house,when he had the golden handshake money he said he wouldn't take plus his income. Are we sure he sold it? |

| 345003 | 2005-04-21 01:10:00 | Isn't the net great? Here is a Helen Clark press release from 1998 which must now be served back. Taken from here - pc.blogspot.com Helen Clark has issued a press release we can all agree with saying "the Government's refusal to enter into mediation over compensation for Keith and Margaret Berryman highlights the abandonment of rural New Zealand." And so it does. She says, "The Berrymans are victims in many ways. They are victims of bad legislation and victims of an over-zealous government department." And so they are. "I feel really sorry for these people," says Miss Clark. "I think their lives have been ruined." And so they have. "Labour's by-election campaign has been about putting the heart back into the country, and giving hard-working people such as Keith and Margaret Berryman a fair go," Helen Clark said. By-election? What by-election? Yes, you guessed it, this isn't what Helen Clark said today, this was a press release issued by her five years ago at 10:30am on 27 April 1998 as part of the Taranaki-King Country by-election campaign. |
