Speculation

Three News opened its bulletin tonight with a story they couldn't bring you, relating to a "high profile" case in the Auckland High Court. The story was suppressed by an interim injunction obtained by the police, and I know nothing at all about it. But here's what they did say:

• The story related to a "high profile" case in the Auckland High Court;
• It was about the personal circumstances, welfare and treatment of a witness in that case by the police and immigration service;
• Oddly, it was presented by Scott Campbell, one of their political reporters;
• Very oddly, it was presented from Parliament.

The police can injunct Three News from telling us what its about. But they can't injunct the rest of us from figuring it out. So, what "high profile" case currently being heard in Auckland relates to Parliament, and has a lot of immigrants as witnesses? Gee, I wonder. So, are they treating their witnesses shamefully, or giving them residency in exchange for testimony? Unfortunately, until Three News gets the inunction lifted, we can only guess...
