Veitch has always been a hundred miles up his own arse. I remember years ago I was writing a profile piece on Peter Williams, and went to TVNZ to get some quotes from his colleagues. Mike McRoberts was one, and was just fine. Then Veitch elbowed his way into the conversation and spent the next ten minutes wanking on about himself in the guise of an anecdote about Peter (who really is the nicest guy.) He really is the most narcissistic creep. And looks like a cocker spaniel.

I couldn't stand him even before the violence. Matthew Ridge came across as a gentleman in comparison.

If he wants people to move on then perhaps an apology to his victim would have been a good start.
As @Mokey says, he is a complete self absorbed twat. Only such a person could do a complete interview to try and put his past behind him and not once actually apologise for what he did.
I had a smidge of sympathy for him after the suicide attempts but his behaviour after that pointed to the attempts being deliberate 'look at poor me' activities. -
Jesus, this is bad . I don’t expect much in the way of honesty or integrity out of either Labour or the Ferald but this is a new low from both of them .

Churches as a whole should lose charitable status, and have charities set up with charitable status that are separate from the church.
Yeah, it made total sense in the past when the church was the cornerstone of any community, but things have obviously changed now so it's a law that needs updating. A tricky one though, as places like the Salvation Army still do genuinely good stuff, but then you have people like Tamaki just conpletely taking the piss.

What the Salvos do can be legitimate tax deductions as charitable acts. So, not an issue.

I see what you did there, and I approve.

Damn the level of hate directed towards Jay Jay in the comments is .......well lets be honest not exactly surprising. Is her and her ex husbands sort of on air idiocy pretty much a thing of the past now?

Merry Xmas @jegga
Unfortunate mistake but that's not enough in this day and age. Let's let the world know how utterly outraged I am instead.

Yes, but:
""We will take action against her for discriminating us." A quote from Raj Patel.
So there is racism and probably genderism (not sure if I have coined that or heard it somewhere) at play here as well.
I think that we should all be offended - including @jegga who might end up with an Elf and Santa DVD for Christmas.
