Access: Some aspects of New Zealand’s…, in reply to Sacha,
She's been sucked into the situation through getting pressure sores. Otherwise perhaps the family might have considered moving house to be closer to such services as the Misery through its servant the NASC might deem appropriate. Unfortunately most of those in the health system who are at risk of pressure sores only discover their risk when they get them. People at risk through accident (spinal injuries) are educated about them and trained in avoidance.

Another form of imprisonment? Arising from the fact that the Ministry of Health will not fund support (except in exceptional cases determined only by itself) beyond the cost of residential care. ACC will.

Hard News: About Campbell Live, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
My take is dirty Trichophilia may yet do what Dirty Politics couldn't...
and isn't that insane?

Disgusting, Surely the employer has some answering to do as well.
It's a big stretch to accept that the employers didn't know what they were doing when they involved Rachel G. They either hung their employee out for the wolves or they are so naive that it is incredible they can run a business.

With Rachel denying the woman's version and Currie backing Rachel, the next step has to be character assassination of the waitress. She's in for a rough ride, how can we support her?

No more Harald for me. Not online, not hard copy, and I'll not knowingly support their advertisers either. I'm sure someone will notice and let me know if their culture changes. Sorry about the good guys working there, but I don't have the stomach for this nauseating behaviour.

That's it for me. No more Harald, not online, not hard copy. I'm not reading these Harald pieces, I'm not supporting their advertisers.

In Australia long term detention without an open hearing happens regularly with Aborigines and Torres Straits Islanders, that is, the bias is racial. I am disgusted that something similar is happening here and that in this case it seems the worst offence was damage to property. For this the young man has already served 10 years and there is no end in sight. Justice? Fairness? Or simply an easy fix which does nothing to help the individual. He has done well just to survive thus far.

Can you believe this? Effectively preventive detention for "wilful damage" because the guy is disabled

Frances Joychild QC on the fading star of the Rule of Law
Thanks Marc, that is a very disturbing piece, information from someone in a position to know. I already knew that I can't afford "justice" should I find myself on the wrong side of the law, but I didn't realise it was quite so widespread.
