The
Christchurch Civic Creche Case |

Radio NZ is speculating
that high-profile Queen's Counsel Judith Ablett-Kerr will be a list-only
candidate for National this year. The new party rules
allow only five list-only positions, with Don Brash obviously having already
taken one.
I hope she is selected.
I only half heard the radio and thought they said Judith Kirk!!! Mrs
Ablett-Kerr is one of my modern-day heroines. I always felt that Peter Ellis
was convicted by political correctness and contrived evidence.
If your report is
correct, I reckon it's great news and I'm a leftie who loathes the Nats. I
think Judith Ablett Kerr would be an asset to any political party and to the legislative
branch of government. I certainly don't think
she'd be soft on crime but she would certainly crack down on the injustices
that seem to be happening too often in our system (see: Peter Ellis). As a
matter of fact, I think the Ellis case could be a way for the Nats to win
votes off disillusioned liberals who are disgusted with Phil Goff's inaction
on this case. By all means, punish the guilty but let's at least have a
justice system that gives the accused a fair trial. Judith Ablett Kerr
could have a field day sorting out the inefficiencies in the court system
that deny justice to those affected, not just defendants but victims too. |
