Your human rights seem very important to you. You ever consider the human rights of the people you offended against?

It’s pretty much the same thing. Once you are known to ngati poaka, they move heaven and earth to put you back in prison, even if you’re leading a blameless life. But I doubt that the facts fit your revenge fantasies, just as they never fitted Phil Goff’s, let alone Judith Collins’s.
