  1. Do you think these will get spirited away too?
  2. Dismissal: On September 8, 2015, the Judicial Control Authority (JCA) dismissed the serious racing offence charges, labeling the evidence "bordering on the hopeless".
  3. Who else has tried it?
  4. There are some individuals that are active participants in the industry that constantly make degrading and abusive comments" You keep saying this but where's the evidence? @Chief Stipe you say you hide them, presumably because they are that in your opinion. And @hesi, if you "draw a line". Where? And how do you action or enforce it? Otherwise, it's just a further meaningless waste of time.
  5. Totally agree. At the time I posted in that Mortygate thread on the Caf "the credit lies entirely with Mr. Morton, his supportive wife, and his advocate. I was but a spare part."
  6. No. I've said that repeatedly. It's another autocratic attempt by NZTR to shut down criticism instead of listening and engaging and responding. There are heaps of wonderful hard working people doing a fantastic job at NZTR just as there are at the coalface of racing. This stuff just undermines their efforts. Can't re-litigate the Morton case here. I doubt NZTR will test that precedent. As I said that would be bloody stupid. They wisely chose not to appeal at the time.
  7. From the report on the Morton case. And the introductory words he used - "came across as" - made it plain he was expressing his personal view which, under the Bill Of Rights, he was entitled to. McKechnie's words from the decision and prior, as Morty has said here. As I said. Try again.
  8. It certainly does and was in the Morton case. It's not a private company but one performing a "public function, power, or duty conferred or imposed on that person or body by or pursuant to law." Try again.
  9. or that is otherwise harmful to the reputation or standing to the New Zealand racing industry; So, for example, critical comment that may be harmful to the industry seems to go way beyond the BOR rights' limitations doesn't it? Whether or not they deem it harmful to the industry can not be a Rule of Racing if it conflicts with the BOR. This seems to go way beyond it, so is probably not valid because of that conflict?
  10. They already get way more than the net revenue from the oncourse betting plus any gate and hospitality. not sure I agree with NZTR throwing more at it.
  11. I reckon you are as stupid a prick as he is if that's what you think.
  12. What I quoted above is the law? Your question doesn't make sense.
  13. I don't think they'd dare. Be the wrong bloke to pick on I'd say. They'd get hammered and waste begoodles of money. Be a great spectacle though. I wish they would!
  14. I don't think it's imprecise at all. I'd be quite confident that my examples are not even close to "grossly offensive" by legal standards. The case would be laughed out of court.
