A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Re: Kiri Allan resigns after being charged with careless driving, refusing to accompany an officer — July 24 story.

Today is a very sad day.

An innocent woman who is depressed and hurting, is pushed through a long period of innuendo to the point of an unwise and uncharacteristic action.

Bullying media gloat and pat themselves on their backs for getting results from their unrelenting and cruel actions.

This is beyond decency.

Media gangs are like packs of rabid dogs and seen to revel in ruining the lives of good people.

Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye suffered similar problems as Kiri Allan but were given sympathy and time to heal. Mind you, it appears to be only one side of the political spectrum who face these nasty campaigns while the real miscreants — like Kuriger or Hipango, Bennett, Collins or Brownlee — are pretty much left alone.
