Cunliffe Looks Doggy Lunching with Sex Offender

Conservative Party Leader Colin Craig says that David Cunliffe's social meeting with a known sex offender while on holiday "looks pretty dodgy."

"The leader of Labour Party has only just finished apologising for being a man at a woman's refuge, and then he (Mr Cunliffe) is meeting socially with a perpetrator of the very crimes he was decrying."

Mr Craig says "I have advised our candidates that they may not break suppression orders, and therefore we will not be releasing this perpetrators name. However, there is no question that name suppression is inappropriate in cases like this, and it is our intention to change the law in this regard."

"The victim in this case wishes the perpetrator to be publicly identified, and I believe it's time the law prioritised victims rights ahead of those who do the crime," MrCraig says.
