Rogers jailed

Kelly Gregor in the NZ Herald reports:

A bankrupt and disgraced former National MP was sentenced to one month in jail yesterday after defying court orders and lying in court.

Trevor Rogers and his wife Glenda have been embroiled in a dispute between the receivers of a company they were directors of and owned the majority shareholding in through a family trust. …

Justice Peter Woodhouse’s judgment, which was delivered in December, states that the couple defied court orders.

“I have come to the conclusion that Mr and Mrs Rogers have continued to defy courts, lie to the court and that they do have possession or control of the IP [intellectual property] and other assets of TGR.”

Rogers was the idiot who wanted to censor the Internet and had a bill, which if implemented, would have seen NZ cut off from the Internet.

Thankfully he left National in the mid 90s to join his fellow intellectual heavyweight Ross Meurant in the Right of Centre party, or as we reffered to it – the Dumb and Dumber party.
