Not helped by the fact i am on everything that is slow away today. Haha

I try not to get into bagging jockeys, but its very hard not to today when witnessing at both venues so below par stuff. Very cheap leads handed to many today and as a result they have been able to kick on, frustrating for Owners and Punters alike looking on at it that's for sure.

The fact that he has pleaded guilty suggests he has insurance cover, in statutory cases Insurance lawyers often suggest to plead guilty as it reduces the legal costs and they often make very early reparation payments of a significant sum as a gesture to the courts.

Everyone should Freda who operates a business & anyone employing staff should have Statutory Liability which covers for breech of acts of Parliament.

Public Liability won’t cover him Weasel, he is being prosecuted under a statute of parliament so would need Statutory Liability which he would most likely have. This is where it gets interesting as under H & S in Employment Act by law you cannot insure for a fine as it’s meant to be a penalty deterrent, however there is a way around it which is what the courts also do to ensure victims get more money. They charge Mr McKee with a small fine and then hit him with a huge reparation fee which is covered along with the legal defence by Insurance. ie: $25k fine - not insurable, $150k reparation to victim - covered, $25k legal defence - covered.

Yes, Rowley is beating the wrong drum, clearly has an axe to grind.

http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4102.0Main+Features50Sep+2010 Now Rowley because you are a bit slow, click on the link and skip down to employment , read it and then come back on here and apologise to us all who you shit on.

Oh shit, you are Trump from Race Cafe, should have guessed it. You have spent far too much time reading propaganda in Aussie newspapers. I will mark all your posts as read going forward to save me reading your constant NZ bashing. We are all losers living in a failed country, what a wanker you are.

No issues with that Weasel, they are bringing back the skills learnt overseas which is great. It really comes down to what is important to you in life. This has and never will be a high wage economy when we are too far away from markets & our 2 main earners of international money are Dairy Exports and Tourism both of which rely on low wage employees to be efficient & competitive.

Rubbish Rowley, it shows an educated, intelligent, highly skilled group of people whose skills are in high demand around the world. Look at the Aust govt stats and despite what a lot of Aussies think, the most employed nationality in Aus are NZ born, you have a group of hard yakka people with skills and a work ethic. You post smacks of Australia's response to the flood of Kiwis in the 70s-80s fleeing Muldoon, this is no longer the case, they are leaving because of high worldwide demand.

I hope he gets in as I took him at mega a few months ago on Betfair.

Rubbish Hesi, no legacy as she’s done nothing yet, other than raise taxes and kill off Oil and Taranaki, given away money NatIonal produced to a few left supporters, what legacy?. And your comment is nonsense about capitalism as she has come in and embraced it, changed nothing and is not intending too. You are bamboozled like a lot of others by the constant media attention on side issues she has got.

I don’t think it’s self destructing NM, just re inventing itself, poll results certainly don’t say destruction. It has a leader who is very temporary, he will fill the meantime gap and then be replaced. The Labour Party is Jacinda, remove her and it’s nothing, she is charismatic for sure and likeable enough. The public are cutting her slack because of smoke screens like babies etc, marriage will be the next smoke screen if the fog starts clearing, that will give her another 12 months. The danger if Win falls is she will be alone with the greens and that’s unpalatable to even many Labour voters. Hesi will think I have flipped here but both Lange and Clark were necessary and ultimately good for NZ, Jacinda has her chance to leave a legacy mark on NZ like they did, let’s hope for all of us it’s positive.

Rugby's become a bore Freda. Kirwan was bang on the other day with his comments about a revamp for super rugby, ditch it and get back to parochial provincial stuff and have a few Aussie teams in our league. Would rather watch Waikato playing Canterbury than Chiefs playing Crusaders. The chiefs have been a no identity side since inception, having been a mix of Waikato, Counties, Northland, North Harbour (I think, not sure on that one), BOP, Taranaki. its no wonder no one is interested.

Lost me mate, my TV only switches between racing channels and Married at First Sight, the family are allowed a treat occasionally.

What's an All Black test? Do people still watch that stuff.

Yes, its a little bit precious as well, jockeys have been coping abuse for 50 plus years, these fellas/fellasses are not the first victims of it. whilst I deplore it, its not a new thing, just that the form of it has changed. This form is easy for them to extinguish than the guy on track hurtling abuse 30 yrs ago.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/108094017/jockeys-are-coping-online-abuse-from-hurting-punters Hmmm, interesting, putting the boot into Aussie punters. Its very ordinary of punters to carry on like that & very disappointing to see.

Hey Mardi, I managed to get on Winx this morning and also got the tri, I imagine you did also using T's preferred method.

Yes its crazy stuff, one of yesterdays meetings should be on today. Its the one day of the week which is seriously ignored from a punting perspective. Yes I know 2 SI harness meetings on but shit watching paint dry is more exciting than that, would rather go to the Manukau dogs.

Yes, the layout with all the comps listed at the top of the thoroughbred section is a mess and I notice that hardly any new or interesting topics get posted. More get posted here.

Go easy on him Mardi, he’s got Thomass withdrawals.

Just read an article on stuff regarding the Royals visit and how 48% of Kiwis think it’s a huge waste of $1mill, that 48% will be your lot and spoonhead greens, many of which are too farking stupid to realise they are one of the worlds most photographed and talked about couples. This trip is some of the best advertising NZ can get for its produce and tourism numbers, and $1m really? Who gives a fark. Buckloads more is wasted on dumb causes that contribute nothing at all. Read the posts underneath to get the flavour of how stupid many in this country are.

A low night on TV Hesi? I have family suffering from food poisoning from a school event where the idiots including myself ate some of the food the lefties supplied, you lot always try and sneak up on us humans and now poisoning us is a new low.

He will be scratching around here tomorrow, pecking at everybody whose ruffelled his feathers.
