In this case it is just the cost of doing business so suck it up & it has nothing to do with “all the lefties”

No more crocodile tears about the record number of businesses going broke please. You are living in an alternative reality where 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2

The cost you are having to bear is justified either by government or local government rules or it is not - if it is not then show some kahunas and fight it for the good of all

IMO on the weight of what has been released in the media is that both Hipkins and Mitchell had to have an idea of it.

Coster may well be telling the truth in that interview but not making any formal notification and other things he had either done or not done looks like he is at least accountable for some or all of the handling of this.

The other puzzling piece is he says he told Hipkins who denies it and he then told the same account to Deputy Public Service Commissioner Heather Baggott of the McSkimming affair. She has explicitly denied this.

I find it odd that he never mentioned any of this to the IPCA during their investigation.

On the one hand, I’d believe Coster over Chippy and Mitchell. Both those guys are full of shit. Particularly "front of the queue / world-leading" Chippy

Coster doesn't strike me as a liar

On the other other hand, if something is as serious as it was, then Coster has had a horrendous lapse of judgement to not recognise that fact and keep a briefing undocumented

Coster in his interview said that he had briefed the IPCA Judge

The thing is if JV hadn't have had the porno on his computer and shown himself to be the arsehole he is this would not be the story that it is.

It is being associated with a person who loves porno that others are running from

I think your definition of a porno may be slightly different to mine. I personally wouldnt classify searching child exploitation and bestiality images simply as a porno.

I think Coster is far from the principled, truth talking person some are making him out to be.

The below article paints a pretty poor picture for him

Revealed: The senior cops who exposed the Jevon McSkimming police 'cover-up'

The watchdog that found serious misconduct at the highest levels of police also commended the work of several police staff who stood up. Here's who they are.

I’m not shy to stand up for what I believe!

I’m unsure of what’s even requited - it’s just part of a simple re-consenting process that the council has now decided we have to consult with them about if a cultural report is needed. They won’t consult without money….

Don’t know the next step as I’m just a little guy that doesn’t do this very often trying to make a living.

Why has. Coster gone public with all this in the media? What’s his aim?

The professional way will be to deal with it via the inevitable enquiry.

My personal opinion is that it looks like he has failed on a number of fronts and looks to have even actually tried to divert away from investigating the complaints, actively protecting McSkimming. Now he is trying to minimise culpability. Simple as that I think.

He’s made himself unemployable now.

Throwing others under then bus looks more like taking others down with him for whatever reason.

Possibly the pressure of the mistakes he has admittedly fessed up to was putting him under pressure that he hoped going public would ease his own mind.
Unfortunately for him it's had the opposite effect.
We will probably never know the whole truth until someone writes a book in the future
