Whatever happened to…

…The Diplomatic Protection Squad investigation demanded by Anne Tolley after a teacher used a fake letter from her as creative writing material?

…Coldplay’s breach of copyright talks with National over their unauthorised use of ‘Clocks’ on the sound track to the ‘John Key – Insipid’ DVD way back in 2007? What did they pay out in the end?

… Paula Bennett’s apology for breaching Natasha Fuller’s privacy? She promised.

…Journalists’ sense of curiosity? We learned last week that John Key’s Dairy Investment Fund shares have been transferred to a company in the Cayman Islands. Notorious tax haven for US businessmen. Why would someone from the Caymans want shares in a New Zealand dairy investment fund? Wouldn’t the Caymans be just the place a formerly US-based currency trader would hide his interests? Doesn’t that deserve some chasing up?

And what really happened that caused Richard Worth to be sacked?

    “The Diplomatic Protection Squad investigation demanded by Anne Tolley”
    Seriously? Really? She truly is clueless, much like her helicopter ride.

    I remember similar tasks at my own school, although I don’t believe they had “forged” signature from the minister of Education on them (and IIRC my friends and I were quite dubious as to the veracity of the proposal). My boyfriend also had similar tasks as he grew up, and I presume it is a fairly common task undertaken through the country and has been for years, and no one has ever kicked up a fuss over it before now.
