Denny... As far as what Lance Justice said on television, I am unaware but I standby my comment. I also have no doubt that an appeal will be lodged and good on him.
Some may say more for the lawyers and the NZ taxpayer as well as the industry coffers but I try to be more objective. But as a betting man, I like the chances of his pockets being lightened by much more than the $35,000 so far tallied judging by where others before him have ended up.
As for responding to the rest of your post, I simply refer you to the findings issued by the JCA and published at
www.jca.org.nz and the statement of penalty published at
www.hrnz.co.nz. Read these and find out what really happened.Then go and read Rules 1001, 1002 and 1004.
These are the rules allegedly breached. No Secrets there for you to let me into and the rest of us into.
I guess if the coverage shows a presentation then you will also notice in that coverage one L Justice while not in the coverage, one Smoken Up. Where is he?
Why is he not with his horse? Who is with his horse? What are they doing with his horse?
For the answers to these and any other questions and secrets you may have read the facts as presented, not only by the stewards but also those representing the accused and party.
If after this feel free to ask further questions and I shall try my very best as always to answer them to the best of my truthful and intellectual ability.
