ask andrew little and kelvin davis -both have made it unequivocally clear what they wanted of the judiciary and corrections.

On the topic of inappropriate sentencing…I’m going to leave this cat amongst the pigeons just here.

That's kind of interesting, if we looked at the history of NZ settlers the right to hunt and fish freely has been historically and culturally important. I clearly remember being taught that one aspect of egalitarianism in NZ revolved around getting away from the hunting culture in the UK (where rich land owners restrict access to waterways and land).

I think that concept is in regard to the indigenous fish and birdlife. The red deer as one example were introduced here by wealthy individuals and groups for their sport and not for the great unwashed

nope WRONG.....or if indeed that was the idea it was soon chucked out and the game for all was soon entrenched into our nations make up .

Yeah, we had that at TAD. All the Cpls were looking over the bios written by the budding new recruits, trying to wangle the best sections worth of fit and capable recruits, so they could take out the inter platoon sports competition.

One stood out head and shoulders above the average. Did this, did that, always winning

A fortnight later Busses turn up and disgorge a couple of hundred new recruits. Pl Sgt gets them all lined up,and goes to check out 'The' athlete that all the Cpls had been yakking about. At the call of his name Mr Chuberello waddles forward. Yep, you guessed it. He had won all those games On Line.

Iwas more than happy to oblige and gave him all the details re licenses permits etc etc.his response Im absolutely bloody astounded.

Lastly, the kind "volunteers" could be used as compost helping with climate change - we all win. Not at all difficult to work out.

They would be userful for medical experiments, instead of the public. Guys like Tennant

LOL. All of my 3 boys are gamers, one of their first lessons in life is at the range with a decent centerfire, no suppressor and no hearing protection.

I really hope that you're proud of yourself for inflicting (purposefully) damage to their hearing faculty; something that can NEVER be recovered.

Well, on the bright side at least I'm not inflicting them with stick-up-your-arse-itis.
