firstly, the offence is considered too serious Who is eligible for diversion? Certain types of offending are considered too serious to be eligible for diversion. What is serious is generally determined on the merits of each case. Different types of offences have different aggravating and mitigating factors about them that might make them ineligible for diversion. For example, previous traffic offending and/or current demerits might prevent an offender from receiving diversion for a careless driving offence. Alternatively a clean driving record would greatly improve the chance of getting diversion. Some categories of offences are serious enough in nature to generally be considered not appropriate for diversion, including: burglary or dishonesty offences (in most circumstances) violent offences including family violence offences (in most circumstances) sexual offences or offences with sexual overtones serious drug offences traffic offences which carry a mandatory minimum disqualification offences for breaching a court order

whats the pedigree of your horse TT?

I am keen to know why NZTR cant follow Kranji approach and run 14 races in 6hr - in their case from 4;30pm-10:30pm (start times, excl lead-up and clean-up). Even in winter 10:30am-4:30pm must be viable ...

And therein lies a good demonstration that you don't really read or understand what others write.

funny how a thread o the topic of breaching court suppression orders quickly morphed into a free-for-all on Covid and politics/ i have some admiration for P4P challenging a pathetically anachronistic law; however, I doubt his motivation for doing so is anything other than narcissistic. He has too much 'form' to take the moral high ground over anything. Still, the decision will be interesting, as Gruff notes. Ca't see the learned judge handing out a Diversions sentence over such a serious matter - would set a dangerous precedent. A stiff fine and/or a month or two in the slammer, more like.

I seem to recall the date 27 August as looming large for sentencing of a convicted felon who breached court suppression orders. I am wondering what RC punters think the learned judge will do to discipline the rebellious rapscallion. we already know the wampant wascal hisself will seek a 'discharge without conviction' for his naughtiness. Will he be on the trail to jail with no bail? And what is he hisself going to do to maximise the enormous publicity opportunities concomitant with the gravity of the offence? Such dreadful timing, with another major court case (in the Mainland) wrapping up in the very same week! Shocking luck.

that petition would be an excellent profile builder and platform for relaunch of RaceForm publication. New editor Liz Whelan can make a name for herself by leading the charge.

oh, of course silly Weasel!

I am not advocating they build a new grandstand now, MS ... as I said, they had their chance to do so ...now they need to merge with ARC and form a strong, innovative mega-club to maximise their opportunities and serve the industry through the 21st century

excuse my ignorance...who is Fishboy?

The devious Weasel mind thinks this sacking has little or nothing to do with Workplace Relations and everything to do with something more sinister. Don't be surprised if L-G cops a bigger serve from the 'investigation'.

...was about to mention that, Ohokaman ... what the hell is Chloe Dreamlady doing in that list? And why isn't James Shaw there? I take comfort in seeing the 1.4% 'result' ..even more comfort from the Margin of Error 3.1% ...and the most comfort from seeing Winnie polling less than the Dreamboat

too late ow to try and address the issue of that god-awful 'grandstand' better to just refer to it as a stand cos it sure aint grand and only just standing. Avondale administrators have had literally decades to tear it down and build something more worthy for the 21st century.. A Strathayr at Ellerslie makes sense to me. What makes no sense at all is maintaining three race tracks and related facilities within a 50km radius for a population base of 1.5m people, 95% of whom couldn't give a rats arse about horse racing. Adapt or die.

track currently a Dead 6 ...after the "1-in-500 year" deluge through Whangarei district last weekend.

that'd be silly. Merge Avondale and Ellerslie assets to form an entirely new, asset-rich and cash-rich entity.

pardon? The 'result' ends 31 Jan 2020 which has nothing to do with the 'climate we're in'.

Romancer's run a real head scratcher. Anything in the Steward's report?? Seemed to have every chance..only thing I can think of is that maybe eeds longer between races

really? i remember a Jap bred horse coming from the clouds and the grandstand fence to beat the rails-hugging Rising Romance in a Caulfield Cup

In another state of the USA there once lived a cousin of Henry Newton, one Mr Kennneth Pharr, whose father met and married a Chinese woman, Miss Ah-so, while working on building the Rocky Mountain railroad. They named a railroad tunnel after their first-born - Pharr, Ken Ah-so.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY WITH BONUS BETS...

totally agree mate ..i was just encouraging you to keep looking on the brighter side of this crisis ... eg over the last two months I' haven't had to listen to the constant repetitious drone of Peter 'Ah..There' Earley ...now I'll be spared the nasal twang and lazy diction of Greg O'Connor. Small comforts, really. Maybe someone is clever enough to crank up a privately-owned Racing Radio Channel in our brave new world

RITA was needing a bail out regardless of Covid19. In fact considering RITA had to pay no stakes I would have a guess that RITA's cashflow held up not to bad during April. So...where are the figures of Income/Expenditure since RITA took over running the show? Surely the Half-Yearly Report covering Aug 2019 -Jan 2020 (pre-Covid) would shine some light on this, but there is no sign of this Report, already two months overdue
