Drunk on power!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The end-of-year booze-up at the posh Northern Club in Auckland must have been a beauty, as the legal 'elite' let their hair down and showed us how entitled and political some in the judiciary really are.

A district court judge and her boyfriend were forced to apologies for "verbally attacking" Winston Peters and other NZ First members at a party.

Judge Ema Aitken and Labour-aligned health specialist David Galler were on the vino with other judges at the exclusive Club when they gate-crashed a private function.

It's alleged Aitken tried to enter the room and shouted at the Deputy PM: "He's lying! How can you let him say that?" Galler arrived soon after and reportedly "blocked [Peters] exit" and told him the government was doing a "shit job".

So much for impartiality and comity!
