Court of Appeal on comedian sex offender: not entirely good news
So, finally, the comedian who sexually assaulted a child but was initially discharged because he’s so funny then re-sentenced because that’s not actually a fucking excuse will finally actually serve his sentence. Which is only eight months’ home detention anyway. … Continue reading

James Whitaker challenges Greg O’Connor for “worst police spokesman” role
Hat tip to LudditeJourno for this one. Trigger warnings for sexual assault, misogyny and NZ Police continued cluelessness. The NZ Police have a new recruitment drive going. Apparently they’re aiming to to attract intelligent, balanced, non-judgmental young people, … using … Continue reading
Assange rape apologism hits NZ
On 6 January Gordon Campbell posted an article to Scoop entitled Gordon Campbell Reviews the General Response to Wikileaks. Which would’ve been great if he’d stuck to discussing Wikileaks, and not decided to play Arbiter of How Swedish Law Works … Continue reading
