It was not just the two people who beat, tortured and eventually killed three-year-old Moko Rangitoheriri who knew the little boy was at risk. There were others.

Tania Shailer and David Haerewa committed unimaginably sadistic…

Moko Sayviah Rangitoheriri's sister told social worker toddler was being abused

Seven-year-old Anna told Trina Marama, a trained social worker who worked for Te Whare Oranga Wairua Maori Women's Refuge in Taupo, that her three-year-old brother was…

Meh, I take Michael Field's point but only as far as it goes. But I'm also thoroughly over the media doing some…

That is because he only has an awareness of himself.

And especially since it turns out he hadn't even bothered to inform his victim of his plan to spray his regrets (I can't dignify it as "remorse") all over the media, his self-awareness doesn't really seem to evolved at all.

He's so not sorry he will, with his employers approval, use his abuse as a means to promote himself and his employer through…

I'm all for the rehabilitation of offenders and not entirely convinced by the efficacy of the New Zealand prison system. But clearly the man in question has not been sufficiently rehabilitated.

NZME is absolutely an enabler in giving him his unapologetic voice back as a broadcaster and then…

I’ve no interest in parading Veitch through the muck again. But I think he should stop writing self-serving columns if he can’t truly take responsibility for his actions. If anybody gets to write about what he did, it should…

When a 'mate' steps in and supports by association your 'rehabilitation', the least a mate can do is reciprocate.

I guess for some being re-issued as a lying piece of scum is just another day in the office.

Water…

Don't worry, that's how most people react.

And self-serving publication by The Herald. They knew they'd get clicks and they didn't care who they hurt by publishing. So many victims of domestic violence will have been left crying by that column and The Herald profits from that pain.

For me, if an…

I'm not sure 'better than the Standard' is anything to be proud of, but yeah, I will be moderating a bit more tightly than usual, given the emotional weight of the topic. It's a pretty easy…

Kinda took it rather badly when I called him an enabler.

I still don't think he's got it.

Heavy drawn out sigh.
