Good article. Thanks for reporting on NZ scum. It could have used a bit more swearing.

A few articles from the NZ Herald are sent to me and I was surprised to read the type of reactions coming from the current politicians that Richard has pointed out.

Their comments appear as border-line defence of her, especially so from the Prime Minister.

There was no sympathy offered to the shop owners. Is this a case of ‘it takes one to know one?’

She knowingly stole and the cost for that is more than it would have been if the stolen goods had

been paid for. Generally, thieves steal from people whom they consider as ‘unlikeable’’.

She was earning good money, so was this her motive, she just didn’t like these shop owners?

The excuses of stress etc that she has offered are not plausible. Thousands of people are under

daily stress and many people are ‘unlikeable’ but stealing isn’t indulged to cope.

I hope someone in Court can delve deeper and extract the real cause.

If it was a politically motivated, such as the current IP issue, then she should never have been

in politics in the first place.
