I have, until now, been a fan of your newspaper. Your character assassination in Rogers Rabbits of Cr Evans has lowered the tone of the paper to that of a UK tabloid status. Congratulations! You would do well in England, where the piranhas of society masquerading as reporters, publish misinformation and lies.
I note Cr Evans has now responded. I find Cr Evans responses intriguing in relation to rates and firearms issues especially. The point that the papers have not previously reported objectively is the financial losses caused deliberately to Cr Evans as stated in the paper in the past ($300k). But have been very quick to continue to rabbit on about unpaid rates, without stating the full story so as the 'whole truth” is revealed.
There is a blatant and obvious connection between recordings of conversations (just prior) and the NZ Police firearms statements made by: Mayor Crosby, Cr Faulkner and Cr Baker all on the same day 1/7/09 and the onslaught carried out by them about Cr Evans in your tabloid you seem to still be stuck on the same track here, move on.
What are Crosby, Faulkner & Baker so afraid of in the recording, what have they said that would result in all of this happening? Perhaps it relates to the fact that only Cr Faulkner has a column in your paper, and now the circle closes back on itself.
