Yet another disgraceful case.

As I understand it,Channel seven news chief Peter Meakin has three previous convictions for drink driving offences.

It appears he has again seriously offended, and tried to ourun a police car until he was arrested.

He was sentenced to week end detention over a period 14 months, his licence suspended for the next eight years. Mr. Meakin appealed, the suspension of his licence stands, and he will now serve 250 hours community service instead of going to weekend prison.!!

The ban on his licence should start when he leaves prison after three to five years, to which he should have been sentenced.

The price of his most expensive legal team, [depends how many were involved], but with preparation, paper work, arranging he presentation, time in court, plus expenses, the cost would not have been less than $250,000, is my wild guess.

To Mr. Meakin this is probably a mere drop in the bucket and he can well afford the fee, I'm sure . Probably worth it; better than spending every weekend for 14 months.!!

The lesson to be learned here, is that money equals power, without question. The more money you have, the more power you can buy, in this case verbal power. One law for the rich, and one for the poor.

It has been that way for centuries, and nothing is going to change it.

Why the Board at Channel seven do not sack him, is beyond me. Had he been employed with anothr firm, I like to think he would have been for bringing the company into disrepute.

If ever a case deserved draconian punishment, this one would have to be on the list.
