Disgraced former MP Taito Phillip Field’s jail sentence shows no one is above the law, Labour and National politicians say.

Field has been jailed for six years, with the sentencing judge saying his offending threatened the foundation of democracy and justice.

In August the former Mangere MP was found guilty of 11 charges of bribery and corruption and 15 charges of attempting to obstruct or pervert the course of justice.

JusticeRodney Hansen gave Field four years jail for the 11 counts of bribery and corruption.The charges were laid after he used Thai tradesmen to do work on his properties in Samoa and New Zealand in return for giving them immigration assistance.

Speaker Lockwood Smith pursued Field as an opposition MP. . He asked then immigration minister David Cunliffe more than 400 questions over the Field affair, drilling into contradictions and querying answers.

“It demonstrates that all members of Parliament are accountable for their actions and that none of us are above the law,” he said through a spokesman.

Dr Smith today said he was saddened that a former MP and minister had been sentenced to a term of imprisonment.

“Taito Phillip Field has been judged by his peers.

Deputy Labour Leader Annette King commented on her former colleague in a similar vein: “This sentence demonstrates that all New Zealanders are equal under the law.”

She said the party would not be commenting further. He must now serve the sentence handed down in the Auckland High Court.

OFFENDING ‘INTOLERABLE’

On the bribery charges, Justice Hansen saidconduct of this kind was intolerable in our society and threatened the institution at the foundation of democracy and justice.

OFFENDING ‘INTOLERABLE’

On the bribery charges, Justice Hansen saidconduct of this kind was intolerable in our society and threatened the institution at the foundation of democracy and justice.

In his sentencing, Justice Hansen acknowledged Field was highly respected in the community but said it was “not possible to give undiminished weight” to Field’s character.

Justice Hansensaid it would have been a stiffer sentence, but he gave Field “generous credit” for his previous good record of work within the community; the disgrace and humiliation he had endured and would continue to endure; and the financial cost to him.

“You breached that trust and undermined the very institutions it was your duty to uphold.

And he said Field had let people down who had trusted him.”

Nato troops freed a kidnapped British reporter for the New York Times in northern Afghanistan, but his Afghan colleague, a British soldier and at least one civilian were killed in the rescue.

New York Times reporters Stephen Farrell and Mohammad Sultan Munadi were abducted while attempting to visit the scene of a Nato air strike that killed scores of Afghans in the north of the country.

In an account published on the newspaper’s website, Farrell said he was freed by commandos during the raid, but Munadi was shot dead in front of him while they tried to run to safety.

The two men ran outside, he said.

“We were all in a room, the Talibs all ran, it was obviously a raid,” Farrell said. I could hear British and Afghan voices. “There were bullets all around us.”

Farrell said Munadi went forward, shouting: “Journalist! Journalist!” but dropped in a burst of gunfire.

“He was lying in the same position as he fell,” Farrell said. Farrell did not know whether the shots came from insurgents or the rescuers. I saw him go down in front of me. “That’s all I know. He’s dead. He did not move. He was so close, he was just two feet in front of me when he dropped. He was so close, he was just two feet in front of me when he dropped. Our hearts go out to Sultan’s family. We are doing all we can to learn the details of what happened. It gave no further details.”

The British Ministry of Defence said a British soldier had also been killed in the raid and his family had been notified of his death.

The district was the site of last week’s Nato air strike, called in by German forces, which killed scores of Afghans.

Abdul Waheed Omarkheil, district chief of Char Dara district in Kunduz province, said an Afghan woman was also killed during the raid in the house where the two men were being held.

The area is largely controlled by Taliban fighters, and Afghan police had advised Western journalists not to travel there because there was a strong chance they would be kidnapped. . He said Nato forces arrived by helicopter and killed his sister-in-law in the raid.

Mohammad Nabi, owner of the house that was raided, said Taliban fighters holding the two captives had stayed at his home Tuesday night after demanding shelter.

People smuggling and human trafficking are gaining a foothold in the Pacific and need to be countered by
a joint approach from governments in the region, says a New Zealand expert on border security. .

Not only were New Zealand and Australia “destination countries” for these illicit trades, but the Pacific was also being used as a transit point to other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada.

“To deal with regional risks, you need a regional response,” added Mr Fiso who attended this week’s Pacific Trafficking in Persons Forum in Wellington .

Mr Fiso told the trade seemed to be happening in Pacific nations where tourist numbers were high, because tourism flows helped smugglers to keep a low profile.

In the Pacific, employment and connections to family and friends were key factors in irregular migration, in addition to the flow of economic refugees from some countries in Asia-Pacific.

Mr Fiso said it was also important to ensure agencies and even non-government organisations exchanged data.

Mr Fiso said the 2009 US report Trafficking in Persons defined a person as “trafficked” if they were working as a prostitute and aged younger than 18 but there was a “bit of a debate” between the USA and New Zealand over the definitions involved.

There had not been any reports of identified issues over exploitation and human trafficking for the sex industry in New Zealand.

In New Zealand, there was a focus on cooperation of Department of Labour and immigration officials with police and other agencies monitoring the vice sector and sex industry.

He said there was no indication of people being smuggled into the country as slave labour, but there were cases of immigration brokers exploiting people for profit.

Mr Fiso declined to specify the ways that information was shared between agencies such as police, immigration and customs, but said one net effect was that when people came to police attention, their claimed identity could be checked against people who had entered the country.

Windfall profits from asset sales have allowed sharemarket operator NZX to produce a bumper $60.76 million profit for the half-year to June.97 million for the same time a year ago, is mostly due to the gain on sale from both the TZ1 Registry – carbon trading business – and NZX’s ownership share in the Bond Exchange of South Africa (BESA).

The profit, which compares with just $4.08 million.

NZX said its underlying profit, excluding the asset sales, was up 3 percent at $9.19 million. Excluding one-off items the underlying earnings were up 16 percent at $10.63 million. Operating revenue was up 17 percent at $18.

Chief executive Mark Weldon said he was “confident shareholders will be satisfied with these results”. The company doesn’t pay interim dividends.”

Weldon said a key investment for the company in the first half of the year was the establishment and staffing of an NZX office in Auckland, focused on the introduction of new futures and commodities products.

“This profit figure of $60 million has been achieved via investment of retained earnings and organic investment. We recognise that information, including data generated on markets, indices, analysis, news and opinion, enables markets to develop and grow to their full potential,” he said.

“NZX activities are focused across infrastructure, markets and information. With expertise now applied across the securities, energy and agribusiness sectors, we have built a broader base from which to grow and are positive about future prospects,” he said. .co.

Labour MP Trevor Mallard was kicked out of the debating chamber today for insinuating the Prime Minister was a liar. .

He took offence at being called a liar and Speaker Lockwood Smith asked Mr Mallard to apologise.

“To insinuate a member is lying is out of order,” Dr Smith said.

Mr Mallard disputed using the word liar and was thrown out of the House, shouting “for goodness sake” as he went, before he could apologise.

“The problem at the end there was when I asked him to withdraw and apologise as a result offence had been taken he started to dispute with the Speaker – I will not tolerate that.

He said it was Mr Mallard’s manner that resulted in his expulsion.

“The Honourable Member (Mallard) will just have to learn to control his anger.

“I did not make that decision lightly.”

Mr Mallard needs to behave with “a little more decorum” and has to “respect this House and the dignity of this House”, Dr Smith said.

Mr Mallard will not allowed back into the House until tomorrow
