I think it's possible BP did the whole tennis ball thing. Our teachers did some pretty mean stuff back in the day, they got away with much more than teachers can today. But that was all part of the schooling process. Some teachers were harsher than others.

I think the point is that he "refuted" the allegations completely and that's what these students are annoyed about and that's why they're coming forward now. He lied in parliament.

If he hadn't made that statement then it's possible that the incident would never have got as far as it has.

Also ... Rodney Hide is a big fat fucker ... it seems the only thing he has to do is investigate and sling mud at other politicians. Makes for some entertaining news though.
