In as much as it has been related unnecessarily to s59, Mason did himself no favours.
Actually I think it is related to s59 in concept as he tried to say he was being corrective. And the 2009 new zealand law now says violence is undoubtedly an influence on personality and is a fucking huge hole in the head of our shared society.Zero tolerance , that's why we all voted Act right?
Running passed all those coffins, that was scary shit!!! I think all political party ads should have just rows of coffins and then , "you are dying, vote Conservative, let Jaweh work his magic."

dave, are you speculating?

A woman cop was walking past at the time, and spoke to Mason. According to the media report of the court case published on Stuff on Tuesday, Mason told her at the scene that he punched his kid. If it was good enough for her to relay that conversation in court (as I believe she did), surely it was good enough for her to tell cop who gave Mason the initial warning what Mason told her. Then charges could have been pressed at that point before Mason blabbed to the media.
I agree.

And I agree with Russell that had Mason not blabbed to the media before he was charged he may well have got name suppression . Instead, he blamed police for " administering the amended child-discipline law' ( and the police did comment on the police discretion at the time) and all the anti smackers and pro smakers pricked up their ears, and as Mason no doubt believed he wouldn't be charged, he blabbed to the media. Then he got charged after witnesses were interviewed because it was no longer deemed inconsequential. That'swhen all this section 59 nonsense discussion should have stopped - because clearly it had nothing to do with the case - but it in fact elevated.
Reading that I agree that he made it pretty difficult. So yeh I'm just saying name suppresion would have stopped this circus.

"Molenaar had been growing and dealing cannabis for more than 10 years
That's a long time for any business. Stressful?

What will they do next - kicking down toilet doors?
You deserve to know DeepRed.
Someone somewhere has just written that down on a piece of paper and put in the "new ideas" box. Let's get these lights shining.

But it's hard to know how to do it if the guy has loudly cultivated press attention before even being charged, and even had himself photographed with his children, and then doesn't apply for name suppression.
Sure, I see your point. Probably involves some sort of lawwriting , my weak subject.
...but i don't have the law written I just saw a hole in the performance of the present law. Why create unnessary tension just for a tabloid option that invaribly delivers levels of emotion to the case that become bigger than the crime itself. The press aren't beyond a bit of regulation.In fact worldwide tabloid journalism is pretty sick. Public stalkings of 3 year old children, that's their new and latest low.
And while on the golden news subject the David Bain case has a jury. When they make a decision release the debate on us but stop the dripfeed that knocks real news off our screens.

And Jimmy Mason needs to be given the space and time to appreciate all the fucking stunning research that has been done over the years in the quite literally amazing science of the first period of childhood. He needs to see the new theory of the kid, a theory that seems to be based on large doses of that oldfashioned motherfucker , "commonsense"".
These kids are gonna take over ther world.
-
Jeremy, a very sensible suggestion. They is no disagreement that Mason's parenting skilled left much to be desired.
Yeh, we agree on that Chuck.
A kid falls off a bike, gets hurt and his supervisory adult gets angry about the accident and then tries to bloody hurt him further.It is way offline on what any generation constitutes good parenting .It pisses me off and I respect the people who reported him.
Having said that I don't want him exposing his kids to unnatural attention because that just seems a flawed resolution.We could know about the case and still make a good working of it. And it may speed up the ability to reform men who haven't got their head around why violence is so important to control.Our laws are fundamentally reform based aren't they? He shouldn't have a tabloid option.
-
But he did the opposite: he went out and gave his version of events to any journalist who would listen, before he was even charged
He was a fucking idiot ,maybe he panicked, but still we are looking for a good family resolution here.
We want that family to be strong and how will naming them help them achieve that, in fact it's their name too. The journalist wouldn't do that to their own kids name, surely ?
