There is no doubt that he has been hung out to dry by his stupid campaign manager.
I believe he signed the document in good faith, however:

• Signing it without knowing what was in it was stupid as its contents were his responsibility.
• He could have fixed this when it came to light by a simple public statement and an amended declaration.

Expecting to argue the point with Kim Dotcum is one thing, but the Sky City situation had him bang to rights - he denial strikes me as arrogant and silly.

Banks did little more than carry on as every other establish political group in NZ does (or perhaps now, did!) clearly it is established "custom and practice"!

He should appeal ... he had no case to answer!

actually, acordering to the nurburgerrings trial, "doing it cos everyone else is" isnt a valid excuse/legal defence.
Better, have another 120 odd trials and see how impartial the judiciary actually is.
Shooting the flag bearer and claiming youve won the war? Bah!

Is that where if your lap is under 8 minutes the jury awards you a medal?

somewhere between that, a bag of bright orange cancer-causing chips, and an historically significant farce, where most of, ze gurmens, moved to murica to continue testing drugs and weapons on people, in the latest case, everyone.

There is one Political Party that has not been tarred by the usual cronyism of Parliament.... or had any of its candidates prosecuted let alone been brought up before the courts.

I'll give ya a hint...it starts with a G & rhymes with clean....

SNIFTERS Green on the outside, red on the inside.

That fat hun is a toxic piece of work. It will all come to blows between him, Harre and that part Maori, part European racist. For certain.

What the fuck has .com got to do with my post.....your not Patrick Gower by chance?

Russell only went to tell .com that he wasn't interested in his "politicking", & that he would be a distraction for the left.

And you see that every night on what passes for political journalism in N.Z.....

No I just picked up on your post as a generalisation, not to mock you or cause offence to you.

If it has to go as far as the Privy Council, he will be found Not Guilty.......simple fact of Westminster Law

If it was so simple he would not have been found guilty by this court ..

[MVnut]

At the Privy Council he would be tried by a jury of his peers (in other words Masons).....the only crime a Mason can find another Mason guilty of is Treason I believe....certainly not what Banks is accused of (and found guilty here)

Is that why, straight afterwards, Mr Gimmebackmyfwag stood up and said he'd overule the courts and block Dotcom's extradition?
