Oh stop it - you'll ask us to stop making up the facts next... there's a really good story here... and after a few drinks it get's even better! We're right! What actually happened is wrong, and most likely irrelevant

Skyryder

Ditto...

Having a go??? Say what???? Just a fact that those who were ex's who like to speak out, are inevitably ones who left under some sort of cloud, itching for something to have a bitch and moan about....

Me Mrs is half Ozzie....; that is bad enough. Call me an Ozzie... now that is just plain rude!

Sorry if this is irrelevant however it's irony how the boy who assaulted an officer in Christchurch is 17?

Bit sad that to some he will be a role model, yet the 17 yr old this thread is about had attempts of character assasination made against him cos he didn't fit the profile.

Apology if the post was inconsequential

I see that the family of Halatau Naitoko has received compensation of $225 000
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/9087...-Naitoko-death

This seems a bit stingy to me considering the police have admitted the chase that led to his shooting should have been handled better.
This young guy had a child and maybe 40 - 50 years of working life ahead of him so would have earned over a million in that time.

Contrast this with the payout for ex Secretary for Education who was paid out a $425 000 severance package after 15 months of stuffing things up at the Ministry of Education.

IMHO those payouts should've been the other way round!

I guess they hadn't thought it through

"Here's $100,000, don't tell anybody"

Later:

"Here's another $125,000, it's OK, you can tell that to everybody"

Everybody: "A $125,000, is that all they're getting.?? - they should least got $225,000..."

Pretty much. Although given she supposedly did keep shtum about the first payment, they could have got her to keep shtum about the rest and simply release that a confidential settlement had been reached. Then that would probably have put undue media pressure on her to reveal the sum also.

Probably should have not worried so much about all the secrecy in the first place.

Doesn't do much for trust & confidence and all that though.
