| What is different about this picture? |
Look carefully at this
picture, what stands out? Look extra close and think again, have you found the
answer…
Well there are, or could be many answers to the question posed.
One could be that there is only one male present.
Another could be that there are no National Party MP’s present.
The large print on the box containing one hundred and eleven thousand
signatures says “Stop failing rape survivors” a message clearly understandable
by even the thickest MP male of female.
The woman holding the child is my hero of the year Jessie Hume, she
rocked the nation by successfully collecting a one hundred and eleven thousand
petition in just over a week. Yet the police couldn’t carry out an
investigation in over two and a half years. If only they had the willpower and
drive, energy and know how of this Mother spent in mobilising, investigating,
compiling data they may then catch the odd male sexual offenders. [Even after they publish their identities on Face Book etc.
But the offenders couldn’t be policemen because they just don’t seem able
to get anyone to testify against their own…and they certainly can’t put together
a case against anyone with police connections.
The following is a TV3 News online report on the petition being handed
over at Parliament
MPs have
today received a petition with 110,000 signatures calling for more action to be
taken for the alleged victims of the Roast Busters group.
The
petition, which also asks for more support services for victims of rape and
sexual assault, was delivered to Parliament this afternoon.
Green
Party women's spokeswoman Jan Logie says the petition shows it is time the
Government to "create a better future" for victims of sexual
violence.
"Our
shared outrage at the lack of justice for recent victims of sexual abuse can be
harnessed to create real change for all victims. The solutions we need are
secure funding for education and support services, and a stronger justice
system."
Petition
organiser Jessie Hume believes the Government hasn't taken the Roast Busters
case seriously.
Meanwhile,
Detective Inspector Karyn Malthus, who is leading Operation Clover, says police
are making "steady progress" in their investigations.
"We
are currently focused on speaking to a number of girls. This is a very delicate
and careful process and at this time our priority is the privacy, health and
well-being of the girls, their families and caregivers."
A number
of those police are interested in speaking to are currently sitting exams and
police are working around those schedules, she says. TV3 report ends.
Operation Clover…is a holding operation, and the weak police excuse of the victims having
exams is effecting police progress is so obviously false and is nothing more than a public relations holding
pattern employed while the nations anger dies down. When the exams are over,
they’ll have to wait for the results to be received.
Why don’t the police simply go and pick up the boys. Take them into custody,
search their homes; remove their computers, smart phones I Pads or whatever.
The girls concerned were underage. Don't the police know the law...firstly they stop the offending, then they collect the evidence.
It was suggested to me that this, blame the victim is simply a part of New Zealand
male culture. That is rubbish, it’s not my culture... and I’m male and a New Zealander.
But maybe that weak
excuse is why so many males fail to stand up and be counted, why so many of our
policemen hide and protect their mates. It takes them not weeks or even months
but god damn years to arrest their own sexual wrong doers…in it has just been
revealed that they paid one of their own…wait for it…for two years before the
put him in court…and he has pleaded guilty...
As males we should demand that our police are swept clean of those who,
won’t, or can’t do the job we pay them for, be they commissioners, detectives or
on the beat cops. And we can’t achieve that, and then we should only recruit
and promote women…

Isn't the woman holding the box none other than Louise Upston, National Party MP for Taupo and South Waikato?? I would recognize her...face (for lack of another appropriate word) anywhere...
