Rob Moodie and Army both face contempt

The army has launched a contempt of court action against Dr Rob Moodie for posting the Butcher Report on the internet reports the Dominion this morning. It makes no mention of the contempt felt by the New Zealand public for the army, but no doubt that is what the "thousands" feel who have been downloading and distributing it:

Rob Moodie said yesterday he would fight the action and would not be silenced.
The report itself was not suppressed by Justice Wild and the copy he put on the Internet was not one of those he had been ordered to return to the army, he said.
Thousands of people had seen the report on the Internet despite Crown Law putting pressure on Internet service providers to remove it from websites.
Transport and industrial relations select committee chairman Mark Gosche said last night there had been no formal request yet from any committee member for an inquiry into the saga.

Gosche's comments are worth noting, as are the names and contact details for those committee members:
Peter Brown, Deborah Coddington, Lianne Dalziel, Helen Duncan, Hon Mark Gosche (Chairperson), Dr Wayne Mapp, Lynne Pillay, Mike Ward and Hon Maurice Williamson. Feel free to make contact with them to encourage their makig that formal request.

Supporters of Dr Moodie who live in or near Wellington might also like to attend the High Court on Wednesday to show him your support.

Meanwhile, Winston confides that he intends to keep trying to table the Butcher Report, but as Parliament does not re-open until may 3rd that comes too late for Rob Moodie.
