Has Labour corrupted the Judiciary as well?

by Whaleoil on June 30, 2006

An interesting case of judicial meddling has been raised by Murray McCully in his weekly newsletter.

It appears a judge has denied access to files in the Whangamata case to National as they do not have "genuine and proper interest" in the proceedings. 

Ok fine you might say, but several days prior the same Judge also gave the media access the same files that national had asked for access to.

This is nothing short of meddling in governance of the country.

How on earth can reporters have a "genuine and proper interest" whilst opposition politicians from the highest court in the land do not?

It smacks of political meddling.

    Suprise, suprise, suprise!

     I believe the depths of corruption are just begining to be uncovered in NZ.

    It's not so much the grafting petty official, as in other parts- it's the upper levels of the 'civil' service that are blatent govamint toadies that have their tounges firmly embedded in Dear Leader's unspeakable regions.

     

    When corruption (of whatever sort) is seen at the top, the lower echelons will follow by example…

    What an utterly absurd claim. I think only winston peters has had the audacity to proclaim the judiciary corrupt. I think you should take a trip to some South East Asian countries if you want to see corruption, i think you'll stop applying that word so liberally after that.

    Here's a radical idea you morons, the only thing national mps would use the records and files for is to sling mud in parliament (which is not a court, you imbecile). The media on the other hand has the obligation to report the news to the citizens, and something such as this belongs more in the public domain more than the house of representatives. 

     Gimme a break and use your brains.
