Binnie…. made some basic errors…

Ain’t that the truth. And once these errors were pointed out to Binnie when he met with Collins in September, he subsequently provided two, unsolicited revisions.

No wonder Collins asked for a peer review:

Judith Collins says the report lacks a robustness of reasoning used to justify its conclusions.
She says the retired Canadian judge’s report appears to contain assumptions based on incorrect facts…
Since she told him she wasn’t happy, Justice Binnie has provided her with two revised versions of his report.

Lacks robustness of reasoning?
Contains assumptions based on incorrect facts?

Indeed, Minister Collins revealed two such errors in Parliament yesterday afternoon – no dispute there. Apparently, there are numerous more such errors.

I can understand why the Bain cheer squad is getting increasingly fractious.

Their entire claim is circling the drain……

I think it was perhaps Rex or Flipper who pointed out what ‘extraordinary circumstances’ might be. I also earlier posted a link in which the QC David Fisher was quoted as what they might be. Those circumstances go right to the core of why Judith Collins lost her impartiality.

Ross:

Binnie has made no basic errors, in fact he stuck some worldy experience on Judith Collins by seeking advice on NZ Law – though I’d not expect that he anticipated that our ‘Minister’ would deliberately create mischief to malign him. A subject which Ms Collins seems to have shut up about now and moved onto other things told to her by the SG and his associates – those whose arses are on the line. As for Fisher we must wait and see, I’ve no reason to think he’ll doing anything other than a good job under pressure. Bottom line though like the PC, The Jury, and now Binnie you and your howling crows with ‘thousands’ of hours’ of learning nothing about the case will roundly abuse him. Your ‘crew’ can’t even follow the evidence of a strip search or that of Anderson and Womble sadly.

But Judith, Binnie – for all his wonderful credentials – has made some basic errors. How could someone with his nous and expertise stuff up? There’s an old saying: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I’m predicting a pretty heavy fall for Binie. He has already shown that he doesn’t respond well to criticism.

Maxine when has it ever been a requirement for the accused to provide DNA evidence of his/her innocence. Is this is a new twist on why he is guilty? What is certain is the Privy Council was not convinced of his guilt.

I am quoting her too. She’s said Binnie has got his facts wrong. On that basis, do you think she will be paying Bain any compo?

None proven.

David Bain is as guilty as a Fox with a Chicken in his mouth. Joe Karam is an obsessed weirdo.

Justice Binnie is a dickhead.

Judith Collins is seriously pissed off.

Mass is held every Sunday at the HOBM clubrooms after every Saturday defeat.

Jugs are still cheaper than the Bellevue!

I remember the merger between Hutt (red and white hoops / white shorts) based at the Hutt Rec and HSOB (white jersey / black shorts) based at Strand Park – and the creation of the new HOB Club (gold jersey and green shorts) based in Myrtle Street? The HOB jersey had the Ad Alta monogram that originated from HVHS.

Times change – maybe heritage is not so important these days.

Lacks robustness of reasoning used to justify its conclusions.
Contains assumptions based on incorrect facts?

Both are damning comments that bring the integrity of the Report into question – IMO Collins has acted properly in seeking a peer review.

Now we all have to wait and see what transpires….
