Preliminary comments and annotations by SERENA SOPWITH-FOTHERINGTON,
for Radio Transcripts Ltd, a division of Daisycutter Sports Inc:
On July 8th, a satirist (or, if you like, an "impostor") named Kerre
ohoWmad posted up a devastating imitation of a typical Kerre Woodham
vitupe-rant. Sadly, however, Ms. Woodham has still not answered the
charges against her. Her only responses thus far have been, first, a
ridiculous foray onto this newsgroup to assure us that she is not
Kerre ohoWmad (as if anyone other than E. Scrooge didn't get the point
of the satirical post) then, yesterday, a bilious rant in the Herald
on Sunday.

of the satirical post) then, yesterday, a bilious rant in the Herald
on Sunday.
The front page of the Herald on Sunday (July 19) screams out "Sick
cyber smear"--Woodham: Me, Sophie Elliott and the internet 'slime'.
Book-ending the 60-point header "Sick cyber smear" are two women, in
head-and shoulder shots. On the left is the late Sophie Elliott,
smiling beautifully, her chin resting gently on her lightly closed
fist. On the right is a thoughtful-looking Kerre Woodham, gazing
straight ahead with utmost gravitas, her forefingers lightly
supporting her chin, an obvious mimicry of Sophie. Where Sophie is
smiling gorgeously, Woodham has chosen to pout seriously, her eyes
wide to suggest that she, too, has suffered.

This has obviously been burning a hole in Ms. Woodham's gut. Let's
hope her duodenal ulcer doesn't eat her alive...

I don't mind criticism. How could I possibly? Which is just as well,
because people who give their feedback, through letters to the editor
and communications to me, don't hold back. The 'c' word gets flung
about liberally and my sexuality, sexual appetite and appearance are
fair game to frothing, furious, albeit barely literate, respondents.

lecture to the mother of a knife-killing victim. The "badly written"
jibe rings false---would Ms. Wodham be in such a lather if the satire

No, she did not. The point of Kerre ohoWmad's post was to attack Kerre
Woodham for her remorseless attack on the mother of a knife-killing
victim, and another (equally remorseless) attack on a woman who
suffered a brutal attack by a friend and colleague of Woodham's. While
poor old "Brazen" might not understand this, Kerre Woodham, who does
have a brain, most certainly does understand it.

I think we can all see that Kerre Woodham supported, and continues to
support, the assaulted woman. You believe Serena should not criticise
a vicious person like Kerre Woodham because she's another woman?
That's pretty interestiing logic.

No, it is not. Woodham, along with most of her colleagues at
NewstalkZB, took part night after night in attempting to besmirch the
reputation of a brutally beaten and kicked woman. Woodham and her
NewstalkZB colleaguesalso did her best to "understand" and exuse the
frenzied knife-killing of a boy in Manurewa. Then Woodham took a step
further even than her stablemates at NewstalkZB: she delivered a stiff
reprimand to the dead boy's mother for having the temerity to express
anger at the risibly light sentence handed out to the killer of her
boy.

Here's a short but typical transcription from Kerre Woodham's
NewstalkZB show on Thursday 16 April 2009---the day Veitch pleaded
guilty to kicking his ex-fiance in the spine. The general mood at
NewstalkZB is akin to carnival---"Veitchy" has gotten off with a mere
slap on the wrist. An excited Willy Lose tells Susan Wood: "This is a
day of cewebwation for me!". Nearly every one of Woodham's callers is
right behind Veitch. Then an elderly caller called CYRIL rings her up.
Woodham's attitude is instructive...
WOODHAM: Hello, Cyril
CYRIL: Well I’m not behind him at all. For goodness sakes, seven and a
half months community service is all he got. He could have quite
easily kicked that woman in the head and done brain damage to her,
WOODHAM: Weeeell---
CYRIL: Or put her in a wheelchair. for life
WOODHAM: [coldly] Well, in which case it would have been a different
sentence.
CYRIL: I beg your Pardon?
WOODHAM: He would have got a different sentence.
CYRIL: Sorry, I can’t quite hear you.
WOODHAM: [impatient] Oh well then WHY RING TALKBACK if you can’t HEAR?
CYRIL: I beg your Pardon?
WOODHAM: [exasperated] Arggghh.
CYRIL: I’m sorry I can’t---

The shrillness is entirely Woodham's. Breen and his colleagues

What I printed shows Woodham's lack of empathy or compassion for an
old man who found it impossible to hear her mumbled words. Before he
rang, she had patiently and sympathetically listened to caller after
caller, mostly expressing support or sympathy for Veitch. Why did she
flare into anger at this old man? Partly because he condemned her
friend's violence. Other callers had also condemned the violence, but
she did not cut them off because they were eloquent and powerful
speakers. Cyril, however, was old and suffered from poor hearing, so
she felt free to savage him. Cyril's support of Kristin Dunne-Powell
irritated Woodham, and his physical infirmity provided the opportunity
for her to attack him.

Intelligent and civilised people do occasionally ring up talkback
radio. Usually this is when an intelligent and civilised host is on--
even NewstalkZB has some: Peter Wolfkamp, Oliver Driver and Pat
Brittenden. When intelligent or civilised people ring up the likes of
Kerre Woodham, they are treated with arch condescension or simply cut
off, like she did to that old man.

The people who ring up talkback are not crazy or dangerous. Most of
them are simply indolent, and talkback hosts like Kerre Woodham, Bruce
Russell and Danny Watson reinforce their half-baked views. Whether
that is a public service or not is a matter for debate.

Kerre Woodham had the effrontery to dress down the mother of a
murdered boy for not grieving with the seemliness Woodham insists on.
Usually Woodham restricts her condescension to sniffily putting down
callers. Sometimes though, she broadens her concerns: last year she
conducted a nightly campaign against dissidents in China, and
expressed her full support for the Chinese government's suppression of
human rights. Outraged Chinese callers were summarily cut off, then
mimicked by Woodham. She sniggered on one occasion: "I ENJOY being a
totalitarian!" During the Israeli assault on Gaza in December and
January, she was noisy in her support for Israel's "right" to bomb and
gas civilians, and contemptuous of anyone who tried to speak for the
victims. But, even by her standards, her public lecture of the
distraught Leanne Cameron plumbs a new low in contempt for the
afflicted.

No, we are not barking up the wrong tree. We are not the only people
to have zeroed in on Woodham's hypocrisy and pecksniffian disdain for
the weak, the afflicted and the suffering.

We appreciate your good will, Gay. We just don't agree with your
generous assessment of Kerre Woodham. We note that she has never
resiled from her public (albeit vacillating) support for Veitch or
apologised for her cruel public lecture of Mrs Cameron. We have a lot
more transcripts of her and her colleagues speaking on a range of
subjects; perhaps we'll put some more up for the permanent public
record.

Like anyone else who listened, especially an irate Kerre Woodham, I
could tell he was hard of hearing, and very old.

because he spoke out in favour of a woman that host had systematically
maligned for months. There was nothing "failed" about that exchange;
Kerre Woodham successfully carried out what she intended: to silence
him. As she snickered on another occasion, she enjoys exercising
totalitarian power.

I accept that you do not support the persecution of Kristiin Dunne-
Powell, and also that you would sympathise with Mrs Cameron's plight.
I don't believe that Kerre Woodham shares your generosity.
