Maybe it did start there and ended in the bedroom. Who knows.
(well at least two people know)

A gutless little kiwi celebrity tried to "Buy" silence about a brutal and cowardly attack on his partner.
One law for all. Do the time you jumped up little shit!

Apart from children. It's OK to hit children.

Cunts like Tony Veitch come from somewhere y'know.

Why? The couple decided to settle out of court.

You can't contract out of the criminal justice system. And if you could, it would set a hideous precedent.

Can I kill someone I don't like if I pay their family a million dollars? I didn't think so.

**FROSTY:Me** · 13th July 2008, 16:04

When I was young and stupid (as oposed to just stupid) I believed that only the guilty get accused of these horrible crimes.
Ive seen what happens when a vengeful woman decides to "get even"
The justice "system" is a joke
Yes martha Innocent people do go to jail for crimes they diddn't commit.
But you can't fake the bruises can you? --no ya can't but you can well and truely fake the cause of the bruises

Not saying in this case its so.

More to this than meets the eye...

Tony Veitch's ex-girlfriend reported his attack on her to police in July last year, but instead of laying a criminal complaint, she demanded a $150,000 compensation payment from the sports broadcaster.

So, who feels like a dickhead for believing everything the media tells them?

Or to put it another way, there's 2 crimes here - assault, and extortion

(I should add that the penalty for what he did is a max of 2 years; blackmail carries a max term of 14 years)

Oh, cool, so that makes it OK?

I'm just going to give her indoors a bit of the biff. Since I earn more than her, by your standards if I leave a 20 on the dresser, that makes it OK?

The fact that the guy accepts that what he did was wrong and has under gone councelling is a big plus for him. This is now past history and noone elses business other than their own. The Police cannot bring charges unless she makes a complaint.

I don't think we should be so quick to judge other peoples personal relationships.

What an absolute load of RUBBISH!

You think it would be ok if I assaulted someone you knew and cared for and then proceeded to threaten/buy/what-the-fuck-ever said person into being silent. And don't come tell me that is not possible because people got spines - if you have a life you care about you can always be made to shut up!

That's effectively what you are suggesting...

Assault is assault - it's not theft of intellectual property or dishonest business practice... And whether it takes place in a relationship or not doesn't matter!

And that seems reasonable to you Mr. Bushlawyer? A maximum sentence of 2 years for assault causing greivious bodily harm? I find that hard to believe.

Indeed, if she extorted Mr. Veitch she deserves to be charged with it.
It doesn't mean that Mr. Veitch is excused... Two wrongs doesn't make a right!

we have a winner!!

Crimes Act S.194

Assault on a child, or by a male on a female

Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years who—
(a) Assaults any child under the age of 14 years; or
(b) Being a male, assaults any female.

Your "beliefs" don't seem to have much bearing on reality, do they?

**98tls** · 13th July 2008, 17:13

Oh dear,smells like the reaction to the copper that made a bad decision on where to do a u-turn,women and i guess men get assulted every day in this country and i would put money on the fact that more often than not it doesnt get reported to anyone,Mrs jones that lives down many streets in this country gets a beating by her booze filled husband on every other saturday and never receives $100.000 for her trouble.Veitch sucks for his actions for sure but at the same time by accepting the money what message was his ex sending?just a thought.If she was clever she would have donated the $ to a womens refuge center then had him charged.
