Dom Post and Trotter on Urewera sentence
May 29th, 2012 at 2:00 pm by David FarrarThe Dom Post editorial:
The facts, as set out during sentencing by Justice Rodney Hansen, are these: in January, September and October 2007 Iti organised, and the others participated in, a series of camps, or rama, near Ruatoki. During the camps semi-automatic weapons, sawn-off shotguns, and sporting rifles were fired. In addition, Molotov cocktails were made and thrown at one of the camps. When police terminated their surveillance operation, three rifles, two of them semi-automatic, were found under a tarpaulin at Iti’s Ruatoki house, four rifles and a semi-automatic shotgun were found in the boot of Kemara’s car and in a caravan he occupied, and a .22 rifle was found in a backpack at a Wellington campsite occupied by Signer and Bailey.
I think the Police said a total of 18 firearms were found, and none of these people were licenses to have them.
A crime committed in pursuit of laudable objectives is just as much a crime as a crime committed for base motives. Those who have rushed to defend Iti and his fellows should ask themselves how they would react if a group of white supremacists was found to be covertly preparing for guerilla warfare.
A point I also made. We should condemn anyone who mixes politics with guns. Europe bears the scars of such legacies.
The sentences are just. They serve as a warning not just to Iti and his fellows, but to others of all political persuasions that political activity must fall within the bounds of the law.
The rule of law depends upon all being equal before the law.
The deterrent factor is important.
Chris Trotter blogs:
The persons arrested as a result of “Operation Eight” were not held incommunicado, denied access to legal advice and tortured until they confessed. Nor were they tried and executed in secret. On the contrary, they were given a fair trial in an open court and only convicted on a number of firearms charges. Two of the accused were jailed for two-and-a-half years. Their convictions and their sentences are now being appealed.
So, no. The “real life” Tame Iti is not the same as the fictional hero “Smith” played by Sam Neill. He was not fighting a murderous dictatorship. He was not being hunted down by US “advisers”. Nor were he and his followers being strafed and bombed by RNZAF Skyhawks.What Mr Iti does appear to have been doing, however, was giving practical effect to the numerous discussions, extending over many decades, in which Maori nationalists and their far-Left Pakeha allies have weighed the pros and cons of organising a revolutionary Maori army.

Ohh Noo!
In the interests of supporting those who have been arrested, discussions were held last night at 128 Able Smith St.
I am re-posting a statement verbatim from Indymedia Collective, as a response to those who are concerned or confused about what is being said in media and local gossip.
Quote:
This morning I opened the herald to see what the bullshit the media were spinning about the raids and saw a comment allegedly from a flatmate of one of the activists arrested yesterday in Auckland.
I thought it would be obvious not to comment to the media but apparently not.
I guess I just want to remind people not to talk amongst themselves and speculate and especially do not talk to the media. They are not your friends and they will use you to get the inside scoop.
This was obvious in another article I got forwarded this morning from Bomber’s blog. He was sniffing around last night at Unite and had cornered some less experienced activists and was asking them what was going on…
As someone quite rightly put it last night….’if not one talks, everyone walks’.
It is not gossip it is fucken serious and some of our comrades are facing a long time behind bars, it would be good if people could remember that.
Now is an important time to remember AND PRACTISE those good old rules about security culture and solidarity!
The media are easy to ignore however the filth is a different story and it is likely that they will want to ‘talk’ to some people. If you are concerned about this and don’t know what your rights are etc… please seek the advise of an experienced activist who you TRUST. Maybe we need to have a workshop around this sometime in the next few days so that everyone is confident.
Love and solidarity!

I don’t think the judge had any choice in sentencing Iti to the big house. If Iti had walked on this one what sort of message would it send to those contemplating something similar to these morons. How could the crown prosecution argue for prison sentences for those who give the the fingers to firearm laws in NZ. If Iti had walked the laws of NZ would be further eroded. Many of the problems we have in NZ are because a) laws have been relaxed b) laws are no longer enforced, why would firearm crime be any different. The judge in this case was between a rock and a hard place, respect for the law was on trial.

@Chris Thomson – Okay, and what charges were they actually convicted on? Was one of them ‘Participation in an Organised Criminal Group’? He was charged with that, yes, but not convicted. Therefore it is fair to say that he was convicted on a few firearms charges, and nothing else.

I have conflicting thoughts regarding what the urewera 4 were up to, but skimming thru the affadivit isn’t favour able towards them.
Best case scenerios… They were participating in some sort of over the top “paint ball ” exercise, with Molotov cocktails and semi automatics (tui billboard anyone?) or they were (insert snort emoticon here) training for security work. Given the lack of expertise, or lack of, one of these idiots would have ended up dead, by “friendly fire” or incompetence. Take your pick. And as he or she lay wounded in the urewera’s and were unable to be rescued, I wonder who would they have blamed? My guess, is anyone but themselves.
At worst, they could have been training terrorists, and that doesn’t bare contemplating… And don’t forget, lone lunatics have been known to cause tragedies. Recent history reminds us of this…

I would also recommend Trotter’s piece on the Christchurch Cathedral. He nicely summarises the pride and vision of the 19th century settlers.
“…There are some buildings whose power and dignity simply scorn the ravages of man and nature. Which is why, even if Hitler’s bombers had found their target, and the mighty dome of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece no longer towered over the streets of England’s capital, I strongly suspect that Londoners, like the citizens of Dresden, would have rebuilt their beloved cathedral stone by stone – no matter how long it took, no matter how much it cost.
What does that say about us? Why aren’t more New Zealanders willing to join with the 5,000 Cantabrians who marched on Saturday to save Christchurch Cathedral from the wrecker’s ball? Why isn’t the Opposition calling for the Government step in and “nationalise” this New Zealand icon? What is wrong with Prime Minister Key and his cabinet that they have not already – unbidden – promised Christchurch, and the country, that no matter how long it takes, no matter how much it costs, their beloved cathedral will be rebuilt?…
The men and women who, in the second half of the Nineteenth Century, erected New Zealand’s greatest buildings, were persons of extraordinary confidence and vision. They were part of what New Zealand historian, Professor James Belich, calls “the settler revolution and the rise of the Anglo-World”. In just a few decades, from Chicago, Illinois to Melbourne, Victoria, their cultural and commercial certainty had summoned forth huge cities, replete with stunning architectural tributes to all the ages of Western Civilisation – from the Roman Republic to Byzantium; from Gothic spires to Baroque rotundas. Citizens who walked on streets that were barely as old as they were, looked up at buildings that might have stood for centuries. These towering manifestoes in stone declared proudly to posterity that their makers, the children of empire, had come to stay.
Is that what now eats away at the decision-making of the New Zealand Anglican Church? In its new, bi-cultural, guise does it recoil in dismay from the thought of pouring both its reputation and its treasure into such an unequivocally imperial statement? Is that why the cathedral’s temporary replacement (cardboard being a so much humbler building material than stone) looks so much like a wharenui? Is the Bishop, mindful of her own homeland’s problematic relationship with the indigenous, unwilling to rush back in where white marble angels were once so unafraid to tread?
The decision not to rebuild Christchurch’s iconic cathedral makes a profound statement about the entire city’s future. Those shattered stones are more than fallen masonry, they represent everything else that the earthquakes destroyed.
As the Cathedral fares, so fares Christchurch itself.”

I’ve come to this a bit late, but what Dexter says is very true. The circumstances of each instance of offending. You cannot take an offence an say each one is the same as any other. Each one exists on its own merits and should be judged that way. That is why sentencing can be such a difficult part of the process, although most people who are ignorant of the system don’t understand that.
Comparing these guys with a gun dealer flouting the law isn’t like with like. The Urewera case is a lot more sinister, especially if you consider the use of Molotov Cocktails.
Don’t forget that Iti will be eligible for parole in 10 months!
Alex, my answer to your original question is that, given the circumstances, yes, the sentences do not appear to be excessive. But I haven’t looked at the sentencing digest and I suspect this is a pretty unique case. Also remember that in the last 10 years sentences have risen quite significantly, so comparing against older cases is difficult.
I don’t see anything in the sentences that really concerns me, from a professional point of view.
Vote:May 29th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
One really only needs to read the judge’s words:
“The first is the lengthy period spanned by the offending and its repetitive nature. This was not the sort of one-off incident which commonly confronts the Court in sentencing for the unlawful possession of firearms. Nor was it the opportunistic offending often encountered in firearms charges. The offending in this case was characterised by premeditation and careful planning.”
Vote:“The offending in this case was characterised by premeditation and careful planning… There were multiple weapons involved.
The particular characteristics of a Molotov cocktail is highly relevant. While firearms training can be undertaken for legitimate purposes, the same cannot be said of exercises involving Molotov cocktails. Defence witnesses, including Mr Kruger, acknowledged that training in the manufacture and use of Molotov cocktails could not be reconciled with the peaceful purposes relied on by the defence to explain what happened at the camps.”
“The firearms were used to train participants in military-style exercises. The intention was to train participants in the use of weaponry with the potential to operate for paramilitary purposes.”
“Cumulatively these factors disclose much more serious offending than any of the cases referred to me in which sentences of up to three years imprisonment have been imposed for possession of firearms on a single occasion or during a short period.”

They actually talked about creating a lot of mayhem around the country. They talked about a revolutionary arm, if you like. We don’t know the specifics. But what we were convinced about, it wasn’t just idle talk. There was a lot of commentary that gave us as investigators and indeed, as I mentioned, the High Court judge also expressed alarm. We were, in a very considered way, very worried about what they might as a group or individually- They were getting themselves all psyched up, and we decided to take the action that you are well aware of.
Interviewer: Commissioner, if it was that serious, why, then, did you allow the leader of the opposition at the time, our current Prime Minister, John Key, to visit the area two months before the raids took place?
Peter Marshall: There was no suggestion that he was in any shape or form a target.
Hmmm so the media report that Key was a target, yet the police claim he wasn’t, and indeed Key went into the Ureweras just weeks before the police raid. The Commissioner added that we “don’t know the specifics.” How curious that following months of covert filming and recording of conversations, there were no specifics.
