The reaction.

Too many people jump up and down to object to something said/printed that is directed at an individual.

Even if said individual doesn't care themselves...

(As an example, Paul Henry was subject to this sort of thing a couple of years back)

And besides, what makes you think that Julia Gillard doesn't care about it?

ONLY for the political mileage I suspect...

To be fair though, Paul Henry had a bit of wit in most cases, this is pretty low brow.

I think Australian politics is further in the shit than ours has ever been.

I think thier minders just have them on a looser rein, at least you might hear what they really think sometimes without the spin doctors
sanitising it.

Yes, but you've already proven how suspect your suspicions are.

Yes ... more than a mouthful is just being indulgent (or Standard British handful in emperial measurements.)

You either have a big mouth or small hands. You need enough for speedboats but the SBH is enough for that but I can lick my way around more than a single mouthful.

Eulogy scripted to praise cop who planted Crewe evidence

The eulogy by one of the country's police officers for a controversial detective was scripted to offer praise for his integrity - despite the former colleague being found to have planted evidence.

Documents reveal deputy commissioner Mike Bush was offered his own personal endorsement for former detective inspector Bruce Hutton, the officer who led the flawed inquiry into the murders of Harvey and Jeannette Crewe.

Previously, Commissioner Peter Marshall backed up his deputy, saying the eulogy included "a range of positive comments from the service file of Bruce Hutton".

Mr Hutton was found by a Royal Commission of Inquiry in 1980 to have planted the cartridge case used to wrongly convict farmer Arthur Thomas of the murders. It also found Mr Thomas should never have been charged over the murders, which remain unsolved.

Documents released sourced through the Official Information Act show there were comments which did not come from Mr Hutton's service file.

In contrast, they were made written in a section of the speech in which Mr Bush shared his recollections of Mr Hutton.

In a reference to the Crewe inquiry, he said: "It is a great tragedy and irony that a man of such character should have been subject to devastating accusations of dishonesty."

A spokesman for the commissioner said previous comments had not referred to the entire speech. "He did not suggest the entire speech were verbatim comments from the file. Other comments made by DC Bush reflected the feelings of the grieving friends and family whom he was addressing."

Des Thomas, Arthur's brother, said the family was concerned at the police stance on the case. He said Mr Bush and Mr Marshall should not have input or responsibility for the current review into the case.

The police review is currently reviewing the murder inquiry after a plea from the murdered couple's surviving daughter, Rochelle.

What happened?

Former Detective Inspector Bruce Hutton was found to have planted evidence in a double murder inquiry. He died this year and police held an honour guard at his funeral, at which Deputy Commissioner Mike Bush spoke of Mr Hutton's integrity.

How did they explain that?

Deputy Commissioner Mike Bush said: "At no time did I make specific reference to the royal commission of inquiry. There was no intention to create the perception that I or NZ Police was challenging the findings of the [inquiry] or the integrity of any individual connected with the inquiry."

What do the speech notes scripted at police headquarters say?

Mr Bush's speech notes said: "As we all know, despite the breadth and depth of Bruce's police career, in the public eye he is associated with one case above all. It is a great tragedy and irony that a man of such character should have been subject to devastating accusations of dishonesty."

AAT was just another case of "if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fair" being bullshit. Now we have security services and govt spying that would make the KGB proud. What did scummy say about "free", as in free world. But that was another thread and he is probably off oiling his leather great coat and hat. don't mention batons

There never was a cover up, there never has been a cover up and there never will be a cover up. People should never suggest there was a cover up when there has not been a cover up.

And I repeat, there never has been a cover up.

This thread is full of humour.
