Re the "son of an officer" matter, according to the Harold this morning:
Police Superintendent Bill Searle said this week that a police officer's son, who the Weekend Herald has since confirmed is Tristan Burrow, was involved with inquiries in 2011 but not subsequently.
He said "the officer concerned", now known to be Constable Craig Burrow of Auckland Central, had no involvement with the Roast Busters investigation.
"I can confirm there was an officer's son involved at an early stage, but he hasn't been involved for some time."
So, the "Hales connection" seems to be only a coincidence, and Burrow does not serve at Waitakere, as has also been alleged in places. Good to know.

I think it’s neo-Trotterism: Women and GLBTI and those God-damned pointy-headed urban liberals just need to STFU and remember their place.
Neither Pagani get any respect from me at all. They're both unprincipled dickwads, IMHO, adhering to the Karl Rove school of "win at all costs, and fix it up in post (if you can be bothered)" politics.

Kudos to you for taking a stand. I don't usually agree with anything you say, but I thought you showed some true steel yesterday.

Even if I thought this was one of those times Bomber had gone screamingly OTT
I saw it, I wish I’d downloaded it, it was really quite well done. And I don’t like Bradbury much either – too shrill by half.

I don’t think it even got out of MED before it was MoBIEd. It’s not had a first reading.
And besides, that would be about copyright, not the Policing Act. When USAnians refer to the parody exception, I don't think they realise it's about using copyright material, and not about free speech in general. We don't have a free speech right enshrined in bullet-proof law.
BTW that section of the Policing Act is intended to prevent individuals passing themselves off as part of or affiliated to the force.

A law change has been on the table, but currently stalled in Parliament.

the police have threatened Martyn Bradbury with six months’ imprisonment if he did not take down an image parodying police inaction.
Fark. Dig that hole deeper, why don't you?

Morning Report says police now admit there have been 4 complaints, all from girls between 13 and 15, since 2011. I have no words. (that wouldn't risk defamation)
