On Saturday the 10th July 2010 we posted part one of an interview with Deputy Trevor Pitman on the subject of the now infamous Wiltshire Report. In that posting we said we would be looking at, in part two “just what is the point of this cherry picked report?”.
Well here we are a month later and the interview with Deputy Pitman and more importantly the questions asked in the interview are as relevant today as they were a month ago.
Just what was Home Affairs Minister, Senator Ian Le Marquand’s motives behind giving the media a copy of the heavily redacted report, while members of our parliament were being refused a copy? Why would a former Magistrate and now Home Affairs Minister put into the public domain, the prosecution case and not the defence? Why did he deny the former Chief Officer a fair trial?
Has Senator Le Marquand lost all recognition of “natural justice?”
Still relevant. Tell it how it is is always the best policy at the end of the day, whatever happens on the way, and however many kicks you have to take.
Sadly I feel what happened to GP was calculated and deliberate with the majority of States Members watching and allowing it to happen by doing nothing.

ReplyDeletejustice from ILM- oh please
ReplyDeleteas 'magistrate' ILM was a direct employee of SOJ inc.
his job was to raise revenue for his bosses
as a lawyer ILM knows exactly his
position,to do whats best for his employers
try getting any 'magistrate' to honour their oaths of office
the courts(magistrates) are a commercial enterprise, only commercial law applies.
do your homework, and wake up!
I don't doubt that Ian Le Marquand is doing exactly what he is being paid to do. I do doubt that he is is doing what he was elected to do.
