This doesn't sound like something a lapdog would do (February 2016): http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/296076/us-requests-fast-track-for-dotcom-case http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/296076/us-requests-fa...
Lawyers for the US were at the High Court in Auckland today, where they asked Justice Asher to give the appeal priority and set an early date for the hearing.
Justice Asher declined that request but set a date for August.
- lostlogin 10y agoThe current New Zealand leadership are worse than lapdogs. The goings on with Hollywood contracts (The Hobbit), Dotcom and spy agency leadership, TPPA etc etc are shameful. The lengths the PM goes to get in a photo with Obama etc etc. USA asks, we say yes. It's gross. A shining light is New Zealand's judiciary who seem fairly offside with political leadership.
