after further research, Garrett actually committed the offense 26yrs ago and discharged without conviction 21yrs ago and it would appear we don't have any statute of limitations on these type of offenses in nz
if anything, nz's justice system is so poked, offenders get more support than victims
the ex-partner that tried to kill me certainly did
with regard to how Garrett's passport 'prank' is currently affecting nz'ers, the general consensus seems to be embarrassment and disbelief he was ever appointed even into govt
to add further insult to injury, Rodney Hide, Garrett's party leader was well of the passport prank, and Garrett's previous assault conviction, yet kept his mouth shut and continues to support Garrett
