They've hired Tony Veitch.

I'll be switching stations, how about the rest of you?

ahhhhhhh.....No.

Supporting domestic violence?- does that mean all employers who allow employees with any convictions to work, support the behavior that resulted in the said conviction?

And before any one pulls the "role model" line- we choose to make someone a role model, or we can choose to simply ignore them.

For example I give you the professional rugby players with convictions for assaulting their partners- In one case- she was pregnant and dragged down their path. Or the recent case in Taranaki.

So I will assume(rightly or wrongly) you do not watch rugby as well.

Still think he's a muppet though.

Damn straight. People with convictions should never be allowed to work again. Anyone that hires them are just condoning their behaviour.

Let them survive without jobs.

They still have radio? On actual airwaves?

Weird.

Shit yes!
I've got a wireless in the aeroplane, plays through my helmet speakers. Even picks up FM

You won't last long in here if you continue making these types of balanced and logical utterances.

He's done the crime, done the time...why can't he have his life back?
I won't be boycotting them..how silly can you get.

Thats just farken stupid to say that. Do you want a high un-employeement rate

How many fines etc have you had? Do you have any family that have been convicted for a crime. I don't know if you have any kids at all but if one of them got convicted for a small crime like shop lifting. With what you have just posted you'll be supporting them for the rest of there life.

If you have served you time you should have the right to move on with your life and make a meaningful contribution to the world

**Headbanger** · 23rd December 2009, 14:37

I think he's a fucktard, And that was before he smacked his bitch up and then tried to worm his way out of it.

So no, I won't be wasting my time by listening to him "work".

Are you new?

Now I have to bling him for catching a fish.

**Genie** · 23rd December 2009, 14:41

Don't listen to it anyway, but wouldn't stop me. Give the guy a break, he's more than paid his dues for that incident. Everyone deserves a second chance in life, though if he does it again........chop his freakin arms off so he can never hit another human being. Oh and maybe his legs too so he can't kick anyone either.

**firefighter** · 23rd December 2009, 14:41

Did he get his bribe for silence money back?

Just wondering.......

**Slyer** · 23rd December 2009, 14:45

I like Tony Veitch?
He paid his missus to shut up, she accepted the money and then the silly bint told anyway!

He deserves a second chance, definitely.

**Dcati** · 23rd December 2009, 15:43

I say let him move on. Veitch has actually had more punishment (financially and mentally) than people who commit far serious crimes.

**rustic101** · 23rd December 2009, 15:57

This aside he paid the price, and she also came away smiling. I suggest you build a bridge and look for a new cause to exert your distaste. I could recommend ACC, but then again single issue nutters may be of no help.

He has done the crime and the time - move on!!
