I didn't see that it affected his position as an MP so hadn't said anything about it to anyone until yesterday. Still not sure I do now, either.
The original crime... no, even though it was a detestable thing to do. The failure to admit it, to the public, by someone who opposes the Clean Slate legislation? That's the problem.

I read somewhere that the judge had discharged him without conviction because he was a young man when he did it. Umm... how young? Does anyone know how old he was 26 years ago? I'm getting curious as to how old you have to be to get a lenient judgement.

I've been out helping with the uni student crew and that's been great for giving all this free-floating adrenaline something to do.
A spot of work therapy might be just the thing for people (some people, those who can and want to do it): something helpful to do, in company, and a giving thing to do. I'd love to be able to shovel some silt myself, or restack books at the library, or turn up with homebaking for the volunteers, or for people at shelters, instead of just sitting here 3000 kms away.
I watched the endless sequence of aftershocks on that map too - I kept on wanting it to stop.
