- Police rape probe costs $3m
by Haydon Dewes - Act MP Muriel Newman asked Mr Goff whether he was concerned
the inquiry was set to be the most expensive in history. "Yes, I regret
that this sort of money has to be expended but yes, I also believe that it is
necessary for the money to be expended," he said. Dr Newman questioned
the logic of setting up both inquiries at the same time, when it should have
been apparent both couldn't have progressed simultaneously. "You get the
very strong feeling the left didn't know what the right was doing."

Woman tells court of 1988 sex assault at station
Seventeen years ago a woman gave an off-duty policeman a ride home after a
night at the Awanui Hotel in Kaitaia. People remember her commenting:
"If you can't be safe with a policeman, who can you be safe with?"
Yesterday the former officer, Timothy Nicholas Ogle, a 45-year-old
investigator now living in Queensland, was committed for trial on eight
charges relating to that March 1988 night -- including four counts of rape,
two of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection, one of attempted
sexual violation and one of assault.

ready for showdown
 by Carroll du Chateau - Robinson's
strategy is to answer with long, jargon-laced, repetitive explanations. For
example, when asked about the outcome of the $6 million criminal inquiry into
Louise Nicholas' claims she was raped and sexually violated in 1986 by
policemen Clint Rickards (who is still in the force), Brad Shipton and Bob
Schollum, he replies carefully: "All criminal inquiries must run their
course."
