I am concerned to read that Bishop Brian Tamaki has been charged with, and has pleaded guilty to, careless driving. He accepts that charge, it carries a maximum penalty of $3000.

He crossed the centre line. The elderly driver of the other car tried to drive around him by swinging to the right but was still struck by Tamaki's car. Any other person would be charged with ‘dangerous driving causing injury ‘, a far more serious charge. What is it with this guy? Is he untouchable? He's a major thorn in the sides of the Police, he arranges protest marches on our motorways for reasons that are pretty stupid, and holds up everyone's travel. The Police have far better things to do than run after this clown. Come on, deal with him please.
