Speaker Announcement- David Fisher

David will be speaking at 1.30 pm on Friday October 24, 2014.  WAD will learn from David Fisher "How to get everything wrong when you really don't want to."

David Fisher was named best reporter at the Canon Media Awards 2013 for a portfolio of investigations, including the revelations of air force failures following the fatal Anzac Day Iroquois crash; an exclusive interview with Kim Dotcom; the donations to John Banks' mayoral campaign; and a report on the huge ACC privacy scandal. He is author of the book The Secret Life of Kim Dotcom.

The United States has been fighting to extradite Kim Dotcom, the flamboyant mastermind behind file-sharing site Megaupload, ever since authorities raided his compound in New Zealand more than two years ago. Dotcom has come out on top of the court battles — until now.

Recently, the New Zealand Court of Appeals ruled that search warrants used to seize evidence — including 135 hard drives, laptops and flash drives — from Dotcom’s mansion were valid, which will strengthen prosecutors’ hand in upcoming extradition hearings.

The decision overturns a lower court ruling last year that declared the warrants illegal because they were too broad and failed to specify a criminal act that justified the search. Dotcom had objected that law enforcement had grabbed nearly everything they could lay their hands on during a raid involving guns and helicopters.

The case involves law enforcement authorities including the FBI and various Spy Agencies.
