Gun Import Licence Needed For Holiday Trips & Escapee Recaptured :

We all should be getting bored with the story of NZ escaped (he was let-out) convict "Phillip Smith" - except this "fruit" has actually done us all a favour by confirming that we are being governed by a bunch of f*ckwits.

When he was released on a three-day pass by the PRISON AUTHORITIES (cock-up 1:) he just kept on walking to the airport and flew to Brazil via Chile.- They now say that they shouldn't have let him out!

Cash- Heavy Murderer Leaving New Zealand.

 

 - Why did we bother trying to get him back? - Surely logic would suggest that as he was now somebody-else's problem - we didn't have to continue wasting money on his board & lodging or worry about what he might do next.(cock-up 2:) - but no - we've spent thousands on escorts and plane tickets to have him expelled from Brazil and returned here.

cock-up 3: was how come 'we' let him apply for and receive a new passport from his prison bedroom?

cock-up 4: Seems to be that while his real name is Phillip John TRAYNOR (as on his passport!) - nobody in the Police, Justice Dept, Corrections Dept, Customs & Immigration or Taxation Dept. seems to have worried about what his real name is - they were all happy to call him "Smith" without checking.

cock-up 5: Is how come he could pay for an airline ticket and declare $10,000 cash on his departure documents - he's a convicted murderer/pedophile just walked-out of prison (escaped).

cock-up 6: - Seems that not only was this fruit running an 'Export-Import Business' from his State provided Office (Cell?) - but while he was imprisoned as a murderer he'd fraudulently claimed a tax rebate of more than $50,000 - and ..

cock-up 7: - Was found-out and ordered to repay this fraud at $50 per week ! - while in prison? - Where did these nutters think that his income in prison was coming from - wages?

cock-up 8: - How can someone in prison who is not allowed access to a computer and only limited access to a telephone - run a business (and make fraudulent tax claims under a false name)?

 Now I'm not blaming any individuals for all this crap - no doubt they've all got an excuse about it not being their responsibility and that they are not funded well enough to spend the time and effort checking anything - but we have a situation where our NZ Police and NZ Customs are insisting that anyone trying to bring-back into New Zealand a firearm that they took-out earlier is now having them confiscated and destroyed unless they have applied-for and been granted an IMPORT LICENCE prior to leaving the country. - That is despite there being records of that firearm being taken out! - And despite that firearm owner having been approved as a 'FIT AND PROPER PERSON' - not a convicted murderer.

This "new" policy is contrary to police stated policy documents - that they say will now be amended!

They've got enough time and money to be bloody minded and difficult about that.

- I wonder which law enforcement officer is carrying and looking-after "Smiths" cash for him.

- When will they start treating proven law-abiding firearms users as worthy citizens instead of regarding us as near-criminals - and when will they learn to see proven murdering bastards as criminals with diminished freedoms and rights?
