That's an option in New Zealand for minor offences, but producing a professional film in which all the workers are waged doesn't count as diversion. Sorry. If you knew anything about the law, you'd know that diversion = accredited tactics such as therapy or anger management. I wasn't charged or convicted of any crimes, and that's what really counts. It's actually illegal to say that a film counts as diversion. It's a professional gig, full stop. It kinda sounds like Steve Barr and the SIS want to use me as a slave and then laugh at my antics while making fistfuls of cash by paying me zero dollars and zero cents because I'm a criminal that doesn't deserve a chance to be paid fairly... Section 18 and 19 of the Intelligence and Security Act mean that the NZSIS must immediately cease from any behaviour designed to destabilise AMPP, and that includes attempting to force me to make Weeded Out - just one episode .. Steve's plea - so that a fraudulent greenlit film gets made based on promises that some arseface made. - That's my message to RNZ: if they're telling you to goose a few headlines to tick me off, then you need to tell them that RNZ supports AMPP's right to exist in this turbulent environment, plus you're planning to cover my campaign next year (ACC styles*). *https://www.theaccnz.com/
