I wonder where the completely mistaken idea that tomorrow's previously scheduled APIA board meeting is a “leadership meeting” called to “review the Presidency” could possibly have come from?

Are you on the APIA board Peter?

I quite like Andrea Milner and have had a bit to do with her -- professionally ... but this matcher for last week's incomplete Sunday Star Times piece is not her best work, in my personal view. (Sorry Andrea.)
Some agendas here or what.
Its okay to break the law ..because the law is wrong, we don't know why or how but it must be well because a president of the APIA can do no wrong ..or they have similar court descions go against them and still bitter about it?
A strange logic but that appears to be the case for some here, otherwise I can't figure out why the disagreement with the judges decision.
Lucky the legal system has us landlords to decide what decisions should and should not be abided by. Wouldn't want independent experienced third parties to decide these types of things. We know better.
Maybe not the strange logic
that it seems? Several have
mentioned that the law and
justice are country cousins
who meet only sporadically.
Yes I am sure there are many in jail who share your sentiment ie "the woman deserved the bash its not justice that I get punished for giving her what she deserved bro" etc
I guess thats the difference between those who believe in the law and those that believe their concept of jusitce should override the law because they believe they are right, many cult leaders have had the same thought process I believe.
The papers are full of court decisions
that offend most folks sense of
natural justice. All those slap-on-
the-wrist-with-a-wet-bus-ticket
outcomes. Or those who get off
on a technicality?
The other way is worse.
Have you not seen those imbecilic
cases brought, where the police
are arraigning someone for assault,
when all they were doing was de-
fending themselves and their own
[family] against criminal onsets?
We don't know the full story, in the
matter of this thread's topic, so
handing around opinions based on
media reports is premature.
Until we have a fuller understanding,
opinions should be muted, at best.

Because those who read about 1/50th of the true story in the paper are in a better position to judge the matter than the adjudicator who heard the entire matter? You honestly base your opinion on cases on what you read in the paper?

We know that there was judgment against her company for $70,000 and that she chose to phoenix her company as a result. I agree we don't know the full story but for some of us that is enough. We may not agree with the court's decision when the full facts come out but the fact is the court made that decision.
Since I am in a quoting mood:
"Justice requires that to lawfully constituted Authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due; that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good; and that, as a matter of conscience all men shall render obedience to these laws."
Pope Pius XI
Now I agree with you that from time to time judicial decisions are made that are regretable. The system needs a myriad of changes. But this is not the way. Think of the ultimate outcome of this type of behaviour. Is that really a "system" which is preferable (not that it would even deserve that word)?
The Property Investors Associations represent investors to the public. In my opinion the high ranking members of those associations consequently need to show social responsibility. If you disagree then so be it, but consider the impact on the public perception of the APIA.
In short, we don't know all the facts; we don't need to.
