Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Jen Hay,
there are so many elements of this whole thing which on the face of it seem to be yelling out for a legal opinion. It's hard to know where to start.
I trust you both to narrow it down to the key issues that could greatly affect your success and the cost. You'll need to involve the pesky creatures somewhere in the process anyway.

The Solicitor General can stay a prosecution, though.
So where is he at on this?

I don't believe the minister has the authority to give orders to the police.
Ah, that's right.

first get a lawyer who understands ASD, which is going to be increasingly difficult under the new legal aid and public defence rules
Hadn't thought about that - good angle for any decent journalist to follow up on.

Good to see some actual costs compared. Doesn't mention the core "replacement value" scam, however.

shellshocked by the earthquake
Police are meant to be trained to go beyond our natural human responses in emergencies; to keep cool when others panic and to act as an alternative to vigilantism.
Seems that's in doubt in this situation and if that embassases senior officers, then it jolly well should. However, we need to resist the temptation to explain Police actions by reaching for stereotypes about official brutality. It lets them off the hook too easily. Restorative justice was not a soft option when they rejected it.
