    Oh dear... who would have thought that a politician would abuse their position. Fuck the fine, give him the 2 years jail. If I'm gonna pay for him, that's how I want my money spent.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Smells an awful lot like political influence on the judiciary to me.

    Actually that has potebtial to cause mayhem.
    If he convicts and sentences him, parliament may have to be recalled during the general election campaign.

    Its not a justification of Johns amnesia but his fraud pales into insignificance compared to that fat, smug German fugitive who has committed massive internet fraud.
    The hypocrisy is breathtaking, in consideration of the merger of a party based on a reserved Maori seat claiming to represent disadvantaged Maori, with a party started by a multi millionaire fraudster, resident in but not a citizen of this country. Hone the horrible and that Lilah whatshername both deride capitalism but are happy in time honoured fashion of their type of people to have their hand out for money, no matter how dirty it is.
    That this Sargent Schultz lookalike should be fed to the American wolves cannot happen soon enough. If we end up with a motley grouping of left wing parties forming a Government with the economic catastrophe that will follow then it just shows what a bunch of idiots we are.
    I give due to Sue Bradford even though I deride her political philosophy. At least she had the courage of her convictions. And I also give John Banks credit for being a much better Mayor of Auckalnd than that idiot Len Brown

    Its well known without laboriously having to recite it all back. And why are the Americans massively interested in his extradition to face trial?

    He's just a big cuddly German who happens to like living in NZ, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom
    did he not contribute to both sides during the Mayoral Campaign?

    John Banks childhood reads pretty grim.

    I can't see how they can bust JB and that German can do what he likes....and that cringeworthy Mayor we have.....

    There is always a gap between being found guilty and sentencing, for everyone, while the judge goes away and weighs up submissions and any reports he's asked for (like the suitability of home detention or whatever).

    If only Banksie had laundered his donations through a trust like the winner of that election...or if he'd given Krim Dotcom what he thought he'd purchased with his $50k. Ironic that Banks has been found guilty of corruption because he refused to be corrupted by the donation.

    Perhaps the blame really falls with the drunk driver's and the need for powers to arrest them, are there not two distinct sections of the police?

    General policing and traffic enforcement with joint (cooperative) powers over all?

    My experience is that political interference and expanding (revolving door) immagration are the root causes of police/public relations breakdown!

    Otherwise it has worked out OK ... Banks was only ever a puppet in the mix anyway!

    Like them or not, taking the police away would be like having no oxygen ... not a good look!

    Not quite the same, taking the oxygen away would have actual adverse effects...

    Because there's money in it, be it legal or not.

    Tell me, if I run a community market with 1000 attendees every weekend, and one person sells a copied DVD to another at my market, should I be fined and go to jail? Should I be forced to monitor each and every transaction to see whether it was legal or not?

    As minister of police he was a window-licking lunatic. Merging was the way he could keep his promise of "more cops" (1992).
