Boycott The Radio Nework for supporting domestic violence

**Hitcher** · 23rd December 2009, 19:02

Tony Veitch, as well as being an abusive and unrepentant POS is also a pretty average sports jock. I don't know what his new employer is thinking. I'm certain that they could find somebody just as good to do this job. Perhaps they want to attract misogynistic women beaters as a target audience?

I'm sure every major radio station has at least one violent offender or women basher employed in it, are you going to boycott all of them?

Go and get a soap box.

People in NZ have done far worse and wander around reoffending. This guy no matter how much of a prat he was, is entitled like all the other scum to a second chance.

You appear to be a hypocrite. I just finished reading a post you placed as a Mod stating we must uphold and respect what is before the Courts! Yet you berate this guy with no respect for other laws of NZ.

You are not able to have your cake and eat it too. As a moderator at least be consistant!!!

ohh Agree with that one Kels, plenty of instances of that .. just most do not get airtime like this one .. do not condone what he did at all, but she just showed herself to be a greedy vidictive person too. needed money to pay for her huge new house aye

I'm looking forward to hearing him again. The guy has been punished by the law and then punished so much more on top of that by society. The cost to him for his domestic abuse has been exponentially greater than any other abuser apart from those who actually killed.

He's admitted the crime, society has had it's pound of flesh and then some. Time to move on.

that bird is fucken trouble.

anyways...come on over to radio nz, the grass is always green

God. If hiring someone with a conviction means that you support their crime then my non-profit disabled support organisation supports drunken driving, burglary, getting into a vehicle (illegally), using a document to gain pecuniary advantage and arson! (the convictions I know about of our employees of the top of my head.)

Let them survive without jobs.

If anybody doesn't have a job, we have to support them too! I'd rather they still had jobs.

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.

+1. I have to agree.

Just wondering.......

I was thinking that too.

I doubt it.

Didn't his (previously unknown partner) suddenly become a bloody "celebrity counselor" for women attempting to secure protection orders against their partners?

What a country!

I'll let Tony Vietch punch the fuck out of me, then give me hush money (which I keep, but still rat him out), so I can become an unskilled parasitic leach on the taxpayers pocket.

I'm with you on this. Might be worth blitzing the advertisers too.

What? Tony Veitch isn't before the courts and Hitcher just said he was average at his job.

Surely there are many more posts in this thread deserving of the hypocrite label and a "legal" response?

Furthermore, while he may well have done the time, surely that doesn't prevent people from having a negative opinion of Mr Veitch? He after all inflicted hideous injuries with long term consequences and was only "sorry" when he got busted. I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't go out of my way to make his acquaintance, either in person or via old-fashioned airwaves. NZ has a culture that is supportive of domestic violence, especially if perpetrated by a "celebrity". He doesn't deserve anyone leaping to his defence, no matter how oblique the angle of approach.

There is something realy obnoxious about a man kicking a woman. If Veitch wants to work let him get a job where he is not in my life like the radio of TV.

He's been on Deaker's show too. So he lost my support. Don't watch him anymore

Hitcher stated on one thread about a bike being pushed over that, that, matter was before the Courts, and as a Mod would delete the respective threads if talk/blogging what ever continued [or words to that effect]...

He/She then presents on the Veitch thread berating the guy etc.

In my view that is hypocritical, therefore it is 'my personal belief' that Hitcher is a Hipocrite!!!

Further to this as a if KB were serious about their site they would not allow Moderators to comment - It is protocol to be impartial.
