Judicial Train Wrecks<br />
NZ Herald, ‘Judge asks <strong>for</strong> drug report on Millie Elder<br />
after guilty P plea’, 4.42 pm, Monday 27 August 2007.<br />
“An Auckl<strong>and</strong> District Court judge has asked <strong>for</strong> a drug <strong>and</strong><br />
alcohol report on Paul Holmes’ adopted daughter after she<br />
admitted three drugs charges today.<br />
Millie Elder, 19, pleaded guilty today to possessing a P pipe,<br />
possessing methamphetamine <strong>and</strong> permitting her premises<br />
to be used <strong>for</strong> drugs.<br />
She h<strong>and</strong>ed police the P pipe, which was hidden near her<br />
genitals, at Auckl<strong>and</strong> Central Police Station when they began<br />
physically searching her following her arrest on June 17.<br />
Elder winced as some of the details surrounding her arrest<br />
were read to the court.<br />
Six other charges, including possession of a cannabis bong,<br />
possession of cannabis, receiving a $18,500 plasma television<br />
screen <strong>and</strong> receiving $15,000 worth of clothes from Auckl<strong>and</strong><br />
department store Smith <strong>and</strong> Caughey, were withdrawn after<br />
police said they would present no evidence. [As bribed.]<br />
Judge David Robinson asked <strong>for</strong> a report assessing Elder’s<br />
drug <strong>and</strong> alcohol use to be compiled along with a pre-sentence<br />
report be<strong>for</strong>e sentencing on October 26.<br />
Elder, a model <strong>and</strong> office temp worker, had not appeared in<br />
court prior to these charges. She was rem<strong>and</strong>ed on bail.<br />
The maximum sentences <strong>for</strong> the charges she admitted are two<br />
years’ imprisonment <strong>and</strong> a $1000 fine.<br />
Holmes <strong>and</strong> Elder’s mother, Holmes’ ex-wife Hine Elder<br />
– herself a <strong>for</strong>mer broadcaster – were present in court to<br />
support their daughter.<br />
Wearing a thick black coat <strong>and</strong> jeans, Elder’s whispered guilty<br />
pleas could barely be heard.<br />
The summary of facts revealed that police found cannabis<br />
inside Elder’s bedroom <strong>and</strong> a P pipe inside a kitchen drawer<br />
when her Ponsonby flat was first searched in her absence by<br />
police on June 3. [She would have been warned, both times.]<br />
She was present at a second police search on June 17, when<br />
police found a glass P pipe encrusted with residue from<br />
recent use along with a small bag containing P, <strong>and</strong> a plastic<br />

2 0 New Zeal<strong>and</strong> – A Blackmailer’s Guide<br />
“Fuck this.”<br />
The New Zeal<strong>and</strong> judiciary on track with logical progression.<br />
. . . <strong>and</strong> I have a few suggestions – the running of the judges.<br />
Just as Spain has ‘the Running of the Bulls’, New Spain can have<br />
‘the Running of the Judges’. The same weapons would be used – a<br />
rolled-up newspaper.<br />
The judges would be required to run from Mayoral Drive, along<br />
Albert Street to Customs Street where any dissatisfied citizen could<br />
take out their judicious anger on any judge they saw fit. This would add a<br />
tourist attraction to New Zeal<strong>and</strong>/New Spain <strong>and</strong> make it an extremely<br />
popular country, noted worldwide.<br />
Every Monday morning <strong>and</strong> every Friday night would be the go.
