More great decisions by the N.Z justice system...

What I want to know is: How do all these thick shits get in when a "smart guy" like me (according to others) fails the logic test?

They have tightened up recruiting. Defence it's trying to save money, the recession affected recruiting because people do'nt want to leave due to the reported job shortages outside. (I think it's only prisoners and defence personnel who ask each other, "when are you getting out" lol)

It doesn't work like that. From what I've heard.. If you fail the test, you get in the police. If you pass the test, you get into Customs

mmm, nah, if you fail the tests they offer you the Army, if you fail NZFS testing you go to the Police. (Who I hear are also tightening the belts/word of mouth so could be bull)

Just out of curiousity, what did you fail in the testing? They are all pretty similar across the board.....I'd know i've done three.

According to my old best teenage years mate who is now in police recruiting, being smart is not a good thing!

No shit, thats what he said to me.

Absoluetly true.

They want brain-dead rugby players who have no imagination or thought patterns, but who can fiollow the book absolutely to the letter.

Where do you think the term "Mr Plod" oames from?

The Enid Blyton books of the '30s, isn't it?

put him in the colusseum and watch himduke it to the death with another crim.
its a win win situation for us taxpayers.

Mate of mine had a theory:

Drop 10 crims (the bad ones to start with) on a deserted island.

Airdrop 9 knives onto the island - with a note that the last crim standing gets released.

Once you're down to 1, "forget" to go pick him up.

Film it, and sell the rights to "reality" TV to cover your costs.

Rinse, and repeat.

Crime and punishment, law and order, justice and corrections and specifically "Judges"!

Just some names of the funny jokes in this country!

I was hoping for something better from this government but just like all the rest, nothing so far!

ah, I know this will be unpopular, but it seems to me that the Judge has been privvy to certain material facts that we aren't....it mentions unreported sexual abuse in regards to the offender. There is more to this than meets the eye.

I know people who have suffered sexual abuse that made my toes curl and they've led a "normal" life... they don't go out of their way to hurt others. They exercise their choice and correctly choose right from wrong... whereas this guy purposefully set out to kill someone under the guise of curiosity... it was a premeditated attack... what did he think was going to happen? Knife, face, stab stab stab, she'll be right... I seem to recall some fella that recently stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death, he obviously has problems, but he got 18 years... the legal system is a joke.

Math and logic, while aparantly the other two were something like 100%. I guess I just assumed myself to be able to do the math, but forgot how long it's been since I have had to do anything without a calculator (which is all you need to finish high school maths), or maybe I just didn't work fast enough because I was nowhere near finished, and as for logic I guess I just over analyzed, judging by how easy it was to do a similar test a teacher who is ex navy printed out for me once I was shown the errors of my ways haha. I.e Rant, R*nt, Rint, Ront is pretty obviously just vowels, but here I was thinking there must be some kind of complex pattern of letter intervals that I wasn't getting... Smart i is

Couldn't be too smart or I'd have passed the test

Probably. I was also under the impression that you need to be at EFL level to go into AARC (hence "ENTRY-fitness-level") but the recruiter told me the stats for RFL G1

Soooo... is this pit already dug or would you like me to swing by with a wee digger to give you a hand

What good would a midget Australian be?
