Refloating The Whale

Several friends and acquaintances have asked how they can contribute to funding Whaleoil's name suppression case which kicks off next week. Whale's legal team led by gruff grumpy bastard Gregory Thwaite are looking at knocking over as many of the charges as possible. A few have holes in them large enough to drive a truck through so hopefully Thwaite can show the Police and Crown up for the farce that is name suppression.

Here is Whaleoil's post on the issue

"Ok it is time for all those out there who sup­port my stance on name sup­pres­sion to assist with the legal bills. I appre­ci­ate the months of loyal sup­port as I await the slow wheels of our Jus­tice sys­tem to turn. Now I need your cash sup­port, no mat­ter the size, every bit helps, to help with the fight.

It is time to ban the Burqa of our Legal Sys­tem – Stop Pedos and Sex Offend­ers from hid­ing under the burqa.

In just 7 days (25 August) I appear in the Auck­land Dis­trict Court to defend these charges.

I need help to pay the legal bills. The next few days are hec­tic as I pre­pare my defence with my lawyer Gre­gory Thwaite.
