At last, a contest to measure his ambition. He emailed me last year, inviting Not ever again going to subsribe to any NZ newspapers, ha, but I was just curious.

JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted August 2, 2021 This will be an interesting appeal Auckland businessman and mayoral candidate Leo Molloy is appealing his conviction for deliberately flouting a court suppression order and naming Grace Millane's murderer online. Molloy, who is best known as the owner of Viaduct bar HeadQuarters, is to date the only person charged by New Zealand police over dozens of suppression breaches before and after the high-profile murder trial of Jesse Kempson in November 2019. Kempson's suppression remained for several months after he was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering the British backpacker because he faced two further trials for violent sexual offending against two other women. But before Kempson's suppression lapsed late last year, Molloy posted the killer's name on an online forum while the killer's jury was deliberating in November 2019. Molloy pleaded guilty to knowingly or recklessly breaching Criminal Procedure Act suppression provisions and sought a discharge without conviction. th NZME. However, Judge Peter Winter convicted, fined $15,000 and ordered him to complete 150 hours' community work earlier this year. Today, Molloy, a qualified veterinarian, and his lawyer David Jones, QC, asked Justice Timothy Brewer at the High Court in Auckland to quash the restaurateur's conviction and sentence. The judge reserved his decision after a nearly hour-long hearing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted August 3, 2021 That orange seems like one of those plastic painted models you find in your great auntie's fruit bowl Leo. The sheer cost, let alone the public ousting of why this all even got off the runway, is massively wrong and that cost includes us, the taxpayer.

Tauhei Notts 1,403 Report post Posted August 3, 2021 I think I am seeing a trend in NZ politics, and that trend will favour Leo. Note how Leo set out priorities in a clear manner. I get the impression that NZ voters are getting sick of "feelz" and are wanting more definite action. This explains the unusual rise in David Seymour's fortunes.

chevy86 2,683 Report post Posted August 10, 2021 It's a very high bar to get one judge to find against another but what is important is "name recognition" when it comes for running for office so although it is not your natural style Leo, keep courting controversy.

That party was 100% legit, and validated by the Police Area Commander Gary Davie. Even Commissioner Andrew Coster got involved, as did the PM Jacinda Arden It was approved at the highest levels because we had a compelling plan, backed up by irrefutable science It was seamless, totally compliant with the relevant MOH guidelines, and went off without a hitch. I can’t be held responsible for the fact I understand Covid, epidemiology and infectious diseases …and how to work “ with them “ I’ll be doing the same as we come down to level 2 then level 1 this time, with the exact same results, a safe compliant party enjoyed by the faithful and the educated You meantime with be picking at your sores while you’re waiting in the drive through …living your insignificant life of failure, self loathing, and mediocrity Gruff and scoobysnacks 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
