That they havnt, i spoke to someone yesterday who said they are not impressed at all with the attacks being made on him.They also said no one had been in contact with them asking any of those questions.Apparently the answer that would be given would  be that they have no problem at all with him.Which wouldnt fit in with their stories at all.

Interesting that apart from a little for Stuff we haven't heard from the Dominion Post, yet we've had three radio networks and both TV channels requesting a Fever comment, some of them multiple times.

How's my driving? - Whine here

That radio interview is great, and things like this are the reason I use my money to support the Nix. I'm not blind to the fact that Terry owes some people money or may have annoyed them, but I assume the due process will be followed up. It's the harsh personal campaign against him and the Nix that I hate.

Because he doesn't own it, owe taxes on it or pay ACC for the jockeys in it
Just a sponsor.

Bit different to owning a team and paying taxes.

Does Terry have kids? I wonder if he's applied for "working for families" tax credits

Must say after watching Terry's interview on Mark Sainsburys show I feel a whole lot better. Terry is one cool customer. He came over very calm and reassuring. Sainsbury also mentioned the tall poppy thing, which is partly why Terry is a target.
 
You kind of wonder sometimes why those scumbags who ran all those collapsed financial companiers(Hanover, Stategic Finance, Dominion Finance etc) don't have a heap of reporters  hassle them about their money problems. Tens of thousands of kiwis lost a shiite load of money in those dodgy companies but the likes of the Dom post would rather beat up on Terry then chase real criminals

While im thankful and grateful for what Terry has done in bringing the Phoenix to Wellington.For what ever reason the Doom Post has him squarely in their headlights,yes they may be reporting facts in some cases.But this ruck making has gone on for to long for it to be anything else.

 
lets face it business news and esp news about the IRD is boring and most of the population don't pay it much attention. But the Dom Post/Stuff did just as many stories about Stewart Thwaite a few years ago - he was/is another Wgtn property owner and owned super maxi racing yacht Kinolta and almost ended up in jail when owed IRD 1.4 million for exactly the same things ie PAYE as Terry. Thwaite ended up with 400 hours of community service and was also fined $60,000
 
Dom Post did loads of stories about his conviction and following bankruptcy but most wdn't have paid much attention. news is news but we notice the things we have a personal intrest in and as there are loads of stories coming out about Terry's debts it feels like he's in their headlights but its more likely that as Terry has more of a Wgtn presence the stories are more prominent that other siimilar cases

Think his income would be above the threshold for any tax credits.

I quite like that.  The only thing is, isn't the Dominion Post a sponsor of some sort to the Nix?  I have seen their advertising board on the field during games.  They are also giving away a trip to the Chistchurch game.

Serepisos' receiver gets claim from council for unpaid rates
the friggin hate Terry
 

Receivers for one of troubled property developer Terry Serepisos' companies have had the local council register a claim for unpaid rates.

The rental earnings of a Petone property owned by Mr Serepisos-owned Century City Ventures were seized by receivers Grant Thornton who were appointed at the request of an unnamed mortgagor on September 21.

The first report by receivers notes that $5,309,863 is owed to the mortgagor. More was owed to local authorities, the report notes: "The Hutt City Council has demanded $100,000 in local body rates."

The property, at 10 Hutt Road, is presently advertising for rental clients and has 3,747m2 floor area.

The rateable value of the building, according to property records, is $7.5m. The receivers report lists the value of the property as "unknown". The also note Mr Serepisos played ball: "The Director of the Company co-operated in making available the information required by Receivers to complete this report."

Owned? Not that I knew. As his own profile states...

Century City is the major sponsor of the Wellington Century City Saints basketball team. Pero Cameron � leading New Zealand basketball player and captain has recently become head coach this season.

Corretc me if wrong, but I've never heard of him owning the team

Technicality I think. You could just as well say he is a major sponsor of the nix.

Allegedly

I think the Saints are officially owned by the guy who used to own Chicago Sports Cafe and now owns Public on Courtneay Place. Massive entrepreneur, obviously.

Terry isn't the major sponsor of the Saints anymore. Exodus Club took over for last season - either Century City downgraded their sponsorship or opted out altogether, I can't remember which. The Saints are currently without a major sponsor as the Exodus sponsorship was a one-year deal which they plan not to renew.

Terry's a lovely guy, I never realized that. I watched the full interview, and I didn't know how much the phoenix do for charities, and letting people with down syndrome, Leukimia things like that in the coporate boxes.
Very nice man. He's done loads, not just for the phoenix.

                                                 THE LAST PENNY.
 
 A father walks into a restaurant with his young son..
 
 He gives the young boy three penny coins to play with to keep him
 occupied.
 
 Suddenly, the boy starts choking and going blue in the face....
 
 The father realises the boy has swallowed the coins and starts
 slapping him on the back..
 
 The boy coughs up 2 of the penny coins but is still choking.
 
 Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.
 
 A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue
 business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and
 sipping a cup of coffee.
 
 At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down,
 neatly folds the newspaper, places it on the counter, gets up from her
 seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.
 
 Reaching the boy, the woman carefully pulls down his pants; takes
 hold of the boy's' testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently
 at first and then ever so firmly.. tighter and tighter !!!
 
 After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last of
the coins', which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.
 
 Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the coin to the father
 and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.
 
 As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the
 father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've
 never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are
 you a doctor? "
 
'No,' the woman replied.
 
 I'm with the Inland Revenue..'
