Oh, this is just absolutely priceless:
As for the original offending, Mr Garrett said it was a thrill to beat the system and he did not think about the consequences.
So we're going to see an apology for all those extravagant claims about the deterrent effects of harsh sentencing, then?

I know it's not about voting, but lest we forget for whose benefit a region was rogered:
Oh, yes, those consent delays are such a thorn in the side of progress.

Bhatnagar's complaints paid off: the #johnbanksmayor account has been suspended.

Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman Garth McVicar said dozens of the trust's supporters had called in support of Mr Garrett, and they had expressed interest in a Garrett-led independent party with a law and order focus.
Glorious!

Quite insightful analysis!
How studiously even-handed he is, in declaring that it's good for democratic bodies to be governed for periods by the left and by the right, so that we get a pretty good balance over time!
You can see his argument- although we've all enjoyed the community-minded socially inclusive largesse of Mayor John Banks, isn't it time that we now temper this with a fresh new approach from a sound, pragmatic fiscal conservative, someone such as likely-looking candidate John Banks?

I know Cameron [Slater] is a fellow blogger but are you seriously recommending we vote for someone with no respect for the law, who undertakes irrational vendettas against random public personalities, and is homophobic.

Aaron appears to have dynamited his blog. Whither now those of us who wanted to re-read the epic saga of how he won back the Auckland mayoralty for Banks?

Quality post, thank you Russell.
I also had a nice guffaw when I saw Aaron Bhatnagar's indignant reaction in the paper this morning. Although I thought first of that dodgy anti-Hubbard ad left sitting on his website directory, rather than the Wikipedia episode.

From the Herald:
Disgraced Act MP David Garrett has quit his party and conceded his political career is almost certainly over.
However, Mr Garrett said in an interview with Radio New Zealand that was not his greatest concern.
"The worst aspect of all of this is that those who have seen fit to do so have opened the wounds of the boy's mother and sister again.
"As the person who inflicted those wounds in the first place, however unwittingly I must take ultimate responsibility for that."
