Seven Days In Dhaka: Dying for Fast Fashion
The world has forgotten the survivors and the victims. The children being raised without parents have receded in our collective consciousness in the stampede to get to the next shop sale or mega mall opening.

It is difficult to put aside our righteous disgust at his bullying violence on that night, but that’s what we as citizens in a liberal and progressive democracy must do. We have a Judiciary who is asked to stand above the anger and make decisions on punishment that are beneficial to the wider community.

The right to decide how you will be judged is an incredible protection, but if you are constantly sourcing a Jury that are as ignorant and biased as the person committing the rape, then you will never see justice.

Senior Police would have known all about this which is why Police have always had good reason not to have Malcolm Rewa exposed to too many questions. That is why Teina Pora went to prison in the first place and why it has been so hard to get him released.

Admittedly, there is nothing so obvious and egregious to the Watson case that has yet come out as the planted bullet which did in Arthur Allan Thomas – but even taking a cursory run-through of the case and judgements against Watson, it would be exceedingly hard to argue that his conviction is in any way “safe”.

It’s important not only because it’s the first time a serving inmate has criminally prosecuted anyone, it’s important because it will show that the Police ought to have done the prosecution themselves years ago
Read More →Bain and Pora highlight the emptiness of NZ Justice
Our love of locking people up has been manipulated so much so that we don’t actually care anymore if innocent people are trapped within our prison system. The Government won’t even consider if we have innocent people in prison, which is why a group of academics have had to step in and build an innocence project themselves.

Come on everyone, let’s be honest as to why the Police don’t want to reopen the Susan Burdett – Police arrogance mixed with an alpha male belief that exposure of their internal corruption will spook the sleepy hobbits of NZ.

Kim Webby’s incisive and compassionate new documentary, The Price of Peace, about Tūhoe campaigner and kaumatua Tame Iti and the so-called “Urewera Four” is arguably the most brilliant and compassionate film portrayal of race and cultural relations in New Zealand in contemporary times.

There is a dark unacknowledged truth regarding Teina Pora that NZ is refusing to accept.
Read More →Teina Pora a victim of our system
Teina Pora just spent 22 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to spend the peak of your years behind bars as an innocent person, while those who are clearly guilty roam free.

The Police framed a young brown kid to take the fall and what we now see represents the worst miscarriage of justice ever in NZ history.

Deep questions about NZs so called justice system must now be asked.
Read More →A brief word on Peter Ellis and Don Brash
This is a blot on our justice system that needs urgent attention. I don’t think NZers now would believe the manner in which this case was prosecuted and would be horribly embarrassed that it had been allowed to stand unchallenged for such a long time.
