The Judicial Conduct Commissioner has called for an investigation into District Court Judge Ema Aitken’s behaviour at a private New Zealand First event in November.
Aitken and her husband, Dr. David Galler, reportedly gatecrashed the event, with Aitken allegedly shouting accusations at Winston Peters during his speech and Galler confronting attendees, including Minister Casey Costello, over government policies.
The incident has prompted Attorney-General Judith Collins to refer the matter for review, with Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith now overseeing the process to avoid conflicts of interest.
Further comments on the case have been withheld pending the investigation’s outcome.
Never forget that Peter’s was responsible for facilitating the Ardern years. He’s happy to take on personal vendettas. Screw the country.
NZ simply can not have a judge behaving in the manner described. She should be stood down without pay until the matter is resolved.
