That’s why I’m asking.

My question is, is a PhD thesis as important as this person thinks it is?

And I suspect she will spend an absurd amount of time and money doubling down on her mistake.

She sounds like a massive pain in the ass, and the story is written to be sympathetic to her. I don’t blame the employees for getting annoyed, but putting something like this in writing is just dumb.

What’s so important about a PhD that justifies this level of access, anyway? How does it benefit NZ?

There’s a community here dedicated to Facebook nuttery, insanepeoplefacebook, it’s mostly sovereign citizen stuff.

I can believe it.

It reads to me that she went back to the police, and spoke further with them about that night, which led to the more serious charges being placed.

There’s also this though.

The man was arrested again on 5 March, after speeding from police on his motorbike when they tried to pull him over. He was charged with having carried out a threatening act towards a house and a person in it; failing to comply with a search, and two charges of intentional damage, linked to the events at Reese’s property.

It sounds to me that the police didn’t put the full story in front of the judge the first time, as the charges were different, and more severe, the second time.

It also definitely sounds like the house and the victim weren’t chosen at random.

That is kinda depressing that we built houses on the same land that got flooded after Gabrielle.

Looking at the track, they basically did a gradual turn to the right until they ran aground. I imagine someone would have overridden the captain if that happened, they likely lost control over the steering.

I suspect the tobacco was headed their way already, the robbery sounds like a failed attempt to CYA.

One of the reasons people turned against Al Capone was because his men impersonated the police, it’s taken seriously for a very good reason.

Yeah, I read that and thought the same thing.

The apprehension part sounds quite confusing if the offender was in uniform, although he was probably pretending to be a detective. Also, the premise behind this sounds so incredibly far fetched it’s not funny.

From what I know about Transpower, the investigation and paperwork from this will be intense.

I bet you could hear a pin drop on site after that tower came down.

It’s quite funny he didn’t even show up and still won.

Sorta, that was a loss of propulsion, rather than loss of steering control.

Yup, Bluebridge and Interislander both had it happen about a week apart.

They seem to have cock ups around the same time as each other quite often, come to think of it. They both were down to one working boat each not very long ago.

I know, that’s why I already posted it.
