How did William Willis get an essential worker document, he’s an equestrian with a hay cutting business on the side ( Hannah Walmsley can because all criminal barristers get them automatically ) but someone fiddled the system to get William a pass….who did that, who signed that, and what’s on that document ? 2. who actually let them through the border and why ?, they can’t have had an urgent case south of the Bombay Hills 3. Who is the lady who was staying at the same house in Wanaka, she’s described as tallish, 5’11”, elegant, early sixties, with dark short hair 4. why didn’t they ‘fess up straight away ? 5. which District Court judge gave then interim suppression and what’s that judges relationship with Mary-Beth Sharp, if any I can’t help thinking there’s a lot left in this story yet My guess, and just guesses (as I find the whole thing a side show and the Government are enjoying distraction) are. 1. He sells hay, so he would be able to get an essential service document to deliver hay under the animal welfare. 2. Animal welfare 3. She may have been down there before lockdown 4. I understand trying to get away with it. 5. Name suppression is easy to get for 24-48 hours, it then becomes more difficult. There are 2 million people in lockdown, 500 covid cases. 300 of them from Samoan church which I have presumed they are not part of. So chance of Covid are 0.01% They broke the 11th commandment: THY SHALL NOT GET CAUGHT scooby3051, Huey and tasman man 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also guess the systems in place to stop Bonnie & Clyde [ Steve Braunias quote] are probably too slack ,a common occurence it seems. Even with their exemption for Barristering and Hay selling/ animal welfare they should have been quized as to who needed those services so 'essentially' at the Ski fields of Wanaka...."where are you heading , for how long and WHY ?" A little bit of dishonesty is OK in NZ , even with the much glorified Law ,Accounting societies etc Nukkledragga 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that Shane The Vet Council give us regular updates, every couple of days, and the criteria to cross the border is actually a lot stricter than you suggest Could be different for hay sellers I suppose, but I doubt it If this goes to trial you’ll all be rolling your eyes…however if the clearly corrupted judiciary “circle the wagons” it may not see the light of day I hope for once in their weak woke lives the cops do the right thing and charge these two…..and they don’t get diversion……we need to see cross examination and all the evidence laid bare Idolmite and shaneMcAlister 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meomy 971 Report post Posted September 16, 2021 But, isn't there a number of investigations going on behind the scenes, and a Judicial Review within the Courts of Laws to establish if the Director General of Health has the powers to control NZ in the manner he is on an ongoing unrestrained way under the guise of a 'Coronavirus' introduced into NZ by those in a Wet Market where there was Bats, State of Emergency? To put things into balance, how long did it take for those impacted by the 2004 Indonesian Boxing Day Tsunami State of Emergency last where bodies were washed up and left to rot and diseases were able to spread? Are Buller, Westport and Kumeu still under State of Emergencies related directly to the floods and stock life losses they have recently had? Do we have a Daily update how those people in those regions and others are recovering where natural disasters have happened? Factor into account when the smoke passed over NZ from the Australian Bush Fires they dispersed from overhead within a week, it's questionable if a virus lingers in our lives or the air around us in the same manner. No State of Emergency should ever exceed a disproportionate length of time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
