Notably short television presenter Tony Veitch lost his job after quite serious charges of assault were brought against him. The case garnered a lot of media attention at the time but has slowed somewhat as Veitch awaits his court date.

So when the "un-PC" (read "arsehole") Murray Deaker annouced that Veitch would be a panelist on his show you can really only think one thing: Publicity Stunt.

Deaker, a reformed alcoholic who actually believed lesbians were covertly attempting to take over the nation, has said Veitch needs a "another chance". At what I'm unsure, given that the court procedings haven't started yet.

Either way, don't watch Deaker's show (if you read the Dropkicks then there is a high chance you don't anyway), but also try and disuade others from doing so who might want to see "what Veitch will say".

ps. Am I the only one surprised by Veitch being called "talented"?
