    "lashed out" does not sound the same to me as 'i broke her back in 4 places'


    i think of lashed out as maybe a slap that you immediately go 'oh no'
    as compare to jake the muss style bash

    I see 'game of two halves' is on tv tonight
    and he's still on the tvnz website page for it

    I wonder if that will be a bit like sports cafe and nothing will be said.
    even tho both shows have a history of mentioning any rumor around

    really well said jacqui, and better than i have.


    and look i know one law for the rich one law for everyone else sucks.

    but lets consider that being the victim of the rich or the high profile has it's own extra set of hurdles

    rights have to be balanced. Otherwise every time a celeb commits a crime that harms someone else in an interesting way, we'll have to hush it up, and that's not right either.
    victims rights need to be considered as well.

    if this went to court
    going through the court system as a victim of a violent crime is like bean beaten up all over again, i know women who describe it as worse than the inital attack.

    and she might have got name suppression, but equally she might not have.
    and worse what if the case was lost

    Likewise, if the victim suffers more from the publicity, that is Veitch's responsibility..

    it may well be, but she is the victim so how about her rights
    tight to privacy etc etc

    but guess what she is now a public figure as a result, and has lost some of her privacy.

    hasn't she been through enough?
    and maybe she took the payout know if it went public she would forever be known as the woman tony veitch beat up.

    what is the victim knew that if this became public she would become a public figure. maybe she felt she'd lived though enough?

  • Hard News: The Greening,

    what i want to know is how much of 'good's' carbon neutrality is just them paying somone like landcare to plant trees.

    while on some levels it's good to do that
    on others it's not a long term answer to solving problems

    oh and consumer mag out today has some interesting coverage of greening

    I know of this craft fair
    where
    - one person makes jewellery out of all those milk bottles
    - another person who makes handbags out of fused plastic bags and old records
