From today's proceedings:

 

https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360915456/nzme-billionaire-director-revealed-financial-backer-defamation-case-against-tvnz

 

During the cross-examination, Batchelor attempted to ask [defense lawyer] Nilsson a number of questions with Judge David Clark having to interject a number of times.

 

“Mr Batchelor, I’ve said on a number of occasions - you don’t ask the questions,” Judge Clark said.

 

I personally think Mr Batchelor is going to find a court case (and proving what he is alleging) quite challenging compared to speaking to a room totally full of supporters.

When even ex-broadcaster turned tinfoil-hatter Peter Williams thinks Batchelor is a "nutter", that's saying something. And I hope the next government sets the IRD onto Grenon & other wannabe Rupert Murdochs.

Reckon eh. This bit almost made me laugh:

 

Of his own feelings, Batchelor said: “I was shocked by that news piece from TVNZ and very hurt by it.

 

How about all the hurtful stuff he said about Maori having "fundamental character flaws"? I guess that's okay because he's not referring to himself 🙄

 

I think he's going to finally meet his match in the judge dealing with his court case.

With any luck, the judge will laugh Batchelor's case into oblivion. Even then, there needs to be more attention focused on those who are wilfully financing megaphones for hatemongers.

Closing arguments today. The judge reserved his decision, but will be releasing it after the Christmas break.
