I have little sympathy for Jenny
Shipley over the Tourist Board scandal in which she claims she is entirely
innocent. Possibly, but there appears to be more "evidence" to
implicate her than there was to unjustly convict Peter Ellis (March 7). By any sane consideration of the
Ellis case there was absolutely no credible evidence against him. Obviously
the man is innocent. His conviction is another disgraceful stain on our
sloppy legal and justice systems, to add to the Winebox Commission decision
and all the others. With their stultifying lack of
vision, Shipley and her economic ministers are no more than economy
molesters. If an innocent man can be jailed for nine years, surely the public
should insist Shipley and her cohorts are incarcerated in opposition for at
least the same period with three-yearly reviews by an equally unsympathetic
Parole Board -- the long-suffering public. |
