[Marilyn Munroe <who.c@res.co.nz>]

I can do no better than quote Robin Bell from the Bell Group of Richmond 
shareholders at Richmond's annual general meeting

"The high court finding that PPCS had committed gross commercial misconduct 
had not been overturned by the Court of Appeal."

"But gross commercial misconduct has been rewarded with success. The 
conclusion from this, that ends justify the means, is anathema to me. The 
message that it sends to the commercial sector is unacceptable."

As the religious festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ is approaching 
let me get biblical.

Parliament has given the courts wide powers to smite evil doers.

The Court of Appeal has refused to throw the money changers from the temple.

The Bell group of shareholders sought permission from the Court of Appeal to 
take an appeal to the privy council. This was denied, leaving the Bell Group 
to seek leave for an appeal directly from the Privy Council.

I hope that the Privy Council agrees to hear this appeal.

The learned judges from the the center of empire could give no better 
farewell gift to the colonial judiciary, than give them a sound clip around 
the ears, and tell them to apply the law.

Boop-boop-de-do Marilyn
