Final statement on Weeded Out

Pursuant to the innumerable previous statements, I'm making a final statement. 1. The Weeded Out IP is not available. This is for two reasons: a) I'm the sole credited writer and I've adapted the script into other media. b) There is an active criminal investigation regarding allegations that blackmail was used in an attempt to force production before the copyrights were cleared. - To use showbiz parlance, the current derivative is Just Like Yesterday. The webseries material was folded into The Dakumentary. My songs were not contained in the initial script. The right to use them needed to be negotiated separately. This is one of those phantom projects that Mr. Luxon keeps harping on about. It was all smoke and mirrors, and Wellington thought they could force me to do it. The city leaders have to accept that my boycott can only end with an apology. - 2. No monetary inducements or threats can change my mind. I've said no. 3. I will pursue an injunction to prevent further development or release. You are out of cards to play. It's over. I'll see you in court.

Stop calling me a racist when you only want to talk to me thanks to my whakapapa. Dave A was fairly sure that I was Samoan; his wife knew my mother slightly. He hasn't brought it up.

No, it doesn't work like that. Steve Barr and associated producers have no legal right to my catalogue. As I said: if you can't get it funded without my IP, then you're defrauding me. - Mr. Barr a

Being Chlöe can't be released because the Swarbricks and myself consider it defamatory, not to mention the prominent role in Steve Barr's blackmail gambit. Tory lost her mayoralty over a queerphobic statement that I could've pursued in court. If that's plain enough, can I please move on with my life and make some other films?
