Tony Veitch is an unlucky bugger!

Hell, what a witch hunt!

The nasty little secret seeps out and "Tony nice guy" becomes "Tony the terrible" overnight.

Disowned by colleagues, ridiculed by the NZ "A" list... Matthew Ridge... who the hell and the righteous lobby groups baying for blood.

The police have finally charged him, seven counts, and we can't wait to put him away and pay for his upkeep for a couple of years....

However, what about the "Lionman" who abused his missus and still has a much loved telly programme, that rugger fella who broke his girl friends jaw, Jimmy Cowan charged with multiple accounts of assault, the recent spate of All Black drink drivers... Those guys still have their jobs and future.

Veitch has no job and at the rate things are going, no future.

Yes, he needs to be accountable what he has done is shocking, but he's paid compensation, had counseling, and fessed up now on national tv. What is a reasonable outcome?

We've now had police withdrawn from other investigations (I believe Auckland still has at least 3 unsolved murders), to investigate the retrospective issue and lay charges. However, now that they have got to the bottom of it and charged him, we still have to go through a trial and that's an even greater cost to the nation.

I wonder what legal advice Tony and the ex received when they made the compensation deal???? Was if for the benefit of both or the laywers brokering the deal. I'm sure they are now raking in a little more in the defense of Veitch and supporting the new legal actions of the ex...

Lalalalalalalalaaaaa.... lets keep wasting resource, throw way the key and keep him unproductive and draining social services $$$$$$ for as long as possible.
