Back a few years a certain AB was granted permanent name
suppression after pleading guilty in the Wellington District Court to
fraudulently using a previous employer's taxi chits worth $152.50. He was fined
$500 plus costs.
Well he’s now writing autobiography and an integral part of
his tell-all memoirs is the taxi-chits incident which he dubs a low-point in
his life.
There’s one problem detailing this low-point in writing.
The details were permanently suppressed by the Courts after
he successfully pleaded at the time for them to do so.
But now the smoke-has-settled and there’s a whiff of big
dollars in the air through book sales he now wants this name suppression lifted!
Talk about using the system to suit the circumstances.
Judiciary of New Zealand take note.
Grand
evidence indeed well-known N.Z Rugby players are making a mockery of suppression
laws.
If perchance
these offenders had pride in their jersey – the same pride Kiwi public naively automatically
bestow on players regardless of their anti- social behaviour – they wouldn’t denigrate
the name by their actions in the first place.
This web
site wouldn’t exist.
Clearly the
New Zealand public has more pride in the All Black name than many All Blacks themselves.
Far too many All Blacks care little about the laws of our country, abuse their social status.
