The Star Chamber has swung into action over my TV3 interview. They want to video TV3 personnel as they carry out the interview, but TV3 isn’t having a bar of it .
A well known policeman is spreading vile rumours about me to the media .Cameron Slater wrote a column last week accusing me of lying to Kelvin Davis about what goes on in prison .
These attacks will continue, with the interview on Tuesday and screening next Saturday constituting an historical moment. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Judith & Company applying for an injunction to stop the interview screening, but they will be out of luck and will only increase the audience size.
Arthur Taylor is a prisoner rights activist and TDBs blogger inside prison.
Go you !
“Cameron Slater wrote a column last week accusing me of lying to Kelvin Davis about what goes on in prison”
This Slater ‘Journalist’ must to be taught a lesson. I suggest you file a case of defamation against him for stating you ‘lied’.
Something weird going on in this country at present re the media and politicans?
Here’s a suggestion: make lying a punishable offence, with the penalty being having your tongue cut out.
The right should like this seeing as it is a medieval solution to a modern problem, and most of their solutions to other problems are not much more modern.
No, on second thoughts, they won’t like that seeing that lies and deception are integral parts of the right-wing ideology. Wouldn’t be many able to speak intelligibly after the inquisitor had finished.
Cam would have been silenced years ago.
“Wouldn’t be many able to speak intelligibly after the inquisitor had finished.”
You are, of course, assuming most can speak intelligibly in the first place…………
New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, section 14: “Everyone has the right to freedom of epxression, including the freedom to seek, reeveive, and impart information and opinions of any kind in any form.” That applies to Arthur Taylor and his fellow prison inmates just as much as it does to the rest of us. We may not like what they did to deserve their prison sentences but that is no justification for government officials refusing to obey the rule of law. Arthur Taylor has important things to say about the way the officials treat prisoners – we must insist he is heard.
Kia kaha Arthur. Only someone inside really knows what goes on there. We all need to know.
One hundred and fifty two convictions (according to the media) and you’re accusing others of lying?
Were any of those convictions for lying though? If not, your post is merely ad hominem. Arthur Taylor knows a lot about life in our prisons and he is able to tell us about it intelligently. I think we need to keep hearing from him.
Someone should do a count of Andrews misleading posts and stereotype broad brush smears ………….
are you up to 150 yet Andrew ??
