1 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Hilda. I'm Chelsea Daniels and from the team behind the 2 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: front Page the New Zealand Herald's daily news podcast. This 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: is a bonus episode of Accused. The Polkinghorn Trial. It 4 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: was a murder trial that gripped New Zealand and the world. 5 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: Pauline Hannah was found dead in a Remuererra home she 6 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: shared with her husband, Philip Polkinghorn, on April fifth, twenty 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: twenty one. What followed was a month's long investigation, Polkinghorn 8 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: charged with murder, a mammoth trial, and eventually an acquittal. 9 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: A jury came back with the not guilty verdict in September, 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: a moment that would not mark the end of this saga. 11 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: That's because on day one of the trial, the former 12 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Auckland ice surgeon, Philip Polkinghorn, pleaded guilty to meth charges. 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: Today he was sentenced to one hundred and fifty hours 14 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: community service for possession of meth and a meth pipe. 15 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: Polkinghorn arrived at the High Court at Auckland flanked by 16 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: some of the characters we grew to know during the 17 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: nine week trial. Ron Mansfield kc Is Junior, Harrison Smith 18 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: and also Polkinghorn's sister Ruth Hughes and his son Tane. 19 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: During the trial. Mansfield said the reason Polkinghorn had a 20 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: large quantity of meth dotted around the house was because 21 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: he bought it in bulk to avoid multiple risky transactions. 22 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: The amount did not reflect high or constant usage. Mansfield argued. 23 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Polkinghorn's sentencing began at nine am and was over in 24 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: twenty minutes. First off, the court registrar fired off the chargers. 25 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: The former is surgeon pleaded guilty too. 26 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: John fulking Pump. 27 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: You pleaded guilty to one charge of position. 28 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 4: Of metamthatamine and one charge of position of a faith. 29 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: Have you anything to say to white? Accentence of this 30 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: court should not be passed upon you according to law no. 31 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: Crown Solicitor Elisia McClintock began by saying, the evidence seen 32 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: during the trial paints a very different picture of Polkinghorn's 33 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: math use than what he now claims. 34 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: So the amount is obviously a high amount for charge 35 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: of this type. Three hundred and seventy individual doses or 36 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: uses and over thirteen thousand dollars worth in various places 37 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: with his DNA and only his DNA found on a 38 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 2: multitude of the containers. 39 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: McClintock queried whether a fine from the court would deter 40 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: Polkinghorn from reoffending. 41 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: On the one hand, he sees as the financial means 42 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: that's why he had thirteen thousand dollars worth in his possession, okay. 43 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: On the other hand, he says a fine of some 44 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: in the order of six hundred and two one thousand 45 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: dollars is sufficient to deter him. And my submission, those 46 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: two things don't fit to ether. 47 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Ron Mansfield told the court polking Horn isn't being sentenced 48 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: in regard to his use of math and the evidence 49 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: of use is irrelevant. He said his client hasn't used 50 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: the drug since his wife's death and had provided the 51 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: court with documentation showing negative test results. He then went 52 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: on to describe Pulkinghorn. 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: He's seventy one years of age, so he's got no 54 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: previous convictions. He was an optimologist for thirty four years. 55 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: He retired following his wife's death. He's worked in both 56 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 4: the private and public sector. He has a national and 57 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: international profile for being one of the very top optomologists 58 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: in his area of specialty, and as a result of 59 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: the allegation he found and needed to defend for just 60 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: over two months. He has been a very public and 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: significant fall from grace. As far as his public profile 62 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: is concerned, he's now, unfortunately for him, a household name, 63 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 4: not reflective of his work within the community where he 64 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: has saved the site of many within our community. But 65 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 4: for his own personal lifestyle and. 66 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Affairs, he's intelligent, engaging, witty and overall a kind man. 67 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: Mansfield said he. 68 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: Won't come before the court again. He was using methamphetamin 69 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: at the time, having been introduced to the drug by another, 70 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: but accept responsibility for his decision to use it and 71 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 4: on more than one occasion. But what he's very clear 72 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: about Sarah is that he never used methamphetamine when at 73 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 4: work or leading up to a. 74 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: Period of work now. On a side note, at sentencings, 75 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: the Crown and defense usually come to court with exact 76 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: examples of sentences past. They refer to cases that have 77 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: some similarities to the one they're in court for to 78 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: try and determine and fight it out as to what 79 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: kind of sentence would be appropriate. Mansfield brought up one 80 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: such example, one that Justice Graham Lang himself ruled on 81 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: involving a sentence to a similar quantity of cocaine. A 82 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: professional in the community who hadn't been brought before the 83 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: court before he got a fine. There are always some 84 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: differences between these kinds of examples. After McClintock and Mansfield 85 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: made their submissions, it was Justice Lang's turn to make 86 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: his remarks. He began with the chargers and the maximum 87 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: penalties for each of them. Possession of meth is six 88 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: months imprisonment and or a thousand dollar fine, and possession 89 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: of a utensil in this case a pipe is twelve 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: months in prison and or a fine of up to 91 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. These are the maximum sentences on offer 92 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: for the judge the ceiling if you like, to what 93 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: he can legally hand down. Judges then take into account 94 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: all of the documents they're given ahead of a sentencing. 95 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: Justice Lang went through what exactly was found in the 96 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: Remuerra home in April twenty twenty one and where they 97 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: were stashed. 98 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 5: A plastic container that contained eighteen grams of methamphetamine. This 99 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 5: was found in a drawer in the bathroom adjacent to 100 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 5: the main bedroom of the address. In the same drawer 101 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 5: were toilets, toilet trees and medication that have been prescribed 102 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 5: for you. A plastic container that contained two point nine 103 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 5: grams of methamphetamine. This was found in a desk drawer 104 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 5: in the office area of the residence. A small plastic 105 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 5: specimen jar containing sixteen point eight grams of methamphetamine. This 106 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: was found in a bedside drawer in the master bedroom. 107 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 5: Plastic point bag containing traces of methamphetamine. This was found 108 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 5: in the bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom after the 109 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 5: police had permitted you to use the shower in that 110 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 5: bathroom on five April twenty twenty one. A buttane lighter 111 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 5: and methem fetamin pipe that was found in a box 112 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 5: under the bed in the master bedroom. You told the 113 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 5: police you had slept in that bed on the night 114 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 5: of four to five April to twenty twenty one. The 115 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 5: methamphetamin was subsequently tested and found to have a purity 116 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 5: of seventy nine to eighty percent. 117 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: All of this adds up to thirty seven point seven 118 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: grams in total, or about three hundred and seventy doses 119 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: of the drug, and it had a street value of 120 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: thirteen thousand dollars. Mansfield submitted that this reflex that Polkinghorn 121 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: had the financial means to purchase the drug in bulk 122 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: and thereby at a cheaper price. 123 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: The precent report records that you told the writer of 124 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 5: a report that you were a recreational user of methamphetamin 125 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 5: and that your wife had acquired the methamphetamin found at 126 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 5: your address. I do not accept that at the latter assertion. 127 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 5: There was no evidence at trial to suggest your wife 128 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 5: ever used methamphetamin or that she had any detailed knowledge 129 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 5: of it. 130 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Justice Lang referenced what we heard in the trial about 131 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: Hannah's Internet searches, what does a pea pipe look like? 132 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: Was one of them, you'll remember, and others about how 133 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: meth affects you. Given there was more than five grams 134 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: of meth found at the home, police could have charged 135 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Pulkinghorn with possession with the purpose of supply, but they 136 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: accepted that he had it all there for his own use. 137 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 5: Are you? However, The amount that you acquired give some 138 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 5: indication that you must have been using on a reasonably 139 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 5: regular basis. I consider it unlikely that, as you told 140 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 5: the writer of the pre sentence report, you'd only use 141 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 5: the drug between five and ten times in your life. 142 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: Justice Lang mentioned the evidence given a trial about Polkinghorn's 143 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: colleague inviting him over for lunch. He'd asked her and 144 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: her husband whether they used math. When they said they hadn't, 145 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: he apparently told them that they should. 146 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 5: This goes a considerable way towards explaining your attitude towards 147 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 5: methemphetamin at this time. I note also that you told 148 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 5: the writer of the pre sentence report that you did 149 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: not consider your use of the drug to be problematic. 150 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: He goes on to evidence given a trial by Polkinghorn's colleagues, 151 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: all of whom spoke highly of his professional abilities. Polkinghorn's 152 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: defense lawyer Mansfield suggested a fine in the region of 153 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty dollars. 154 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 5: However, I'm satisfied that, giving your healthy financial situation, a 155 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 5: fine would have no deterrent effect at all and would 156 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 5: not be sufficient to hold you properly accounted for your offending. 157 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Justice Lang pointed out the example we spoke about earlier, 158 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: one that Lang himself handed down. In that case, the 159 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,359 Speaker 1: offender pleaded guilty to possessing forty five grams of cocaine, 160 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: and he was fined one thousand dollars. 161 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 5: I do not consider that to be an appropriate outcome 162 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 5: in your case. First, you did not enter your pleas 163 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: until the commencement of the trial. As Secondly, I consider 164 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 5: you have endeavored to minimize your involvement in the possession 165 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 5: of methem fetter mean by bringing your wife into the equation. 166 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: Lang did note Polkinghorn's negative drug tests, which has been 167 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: taking since twenty twenty one, and his intention of not 168 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: ever using meth again. Given the amount of the drug 169 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: found at the home, Justice Lang said a sentence of 170 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: community work is appropriate. 171 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: So if you had to stand Dr Poultenhom on the 172 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 5: charge of being in possession of methem fetterman, you're sentenced 173 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 5: to one hundred and fifty hours community to work. On 174 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 5: the charge of being in possession of utensils. You were 175 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 5: convicted and discharged. 176 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: Thank you. After adjourning, Justice Lang returned to the court 177 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: saying he overlooked the matter of entering convictions. He then 178 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: entered them and then adjourned outside court. Alicia McClintock said 179 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: the sentence is on the higher end of what would 180 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: have been possible. 181 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: Well, as I say, I mean the Crown submitted community 182 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: was an appropriate sentence. 183 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 6: For the offending. 184 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: Look it is at the upper end of the amount 185 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: for a position charge. 186 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: McClintock said, it's been one of the longest prosecutions in 187 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: some time and they're always hard on everybody. 188 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: You know. 189 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: It was a tireless police investigation and a long and 190 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: complex and difficult prosecution and everyone did their absolute best 191 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: and I'm very proud of the case that was presented. 192 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Allen said they've been in touch 193 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: with Pauline Hannah's family. 194 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 6: Rust all obviously disappointed with the with the outcome, and 195 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 6: you know that's probably a metaphor for them to talk 196 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 6: to if they want to. They just want to sort of, 197 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 6: you know, move on with your life, I think, and 198 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 6: and sort of get on all things.

Investigative reporter Carolyn mcgnee has covered 217 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: this story since twenty twenty one. She joins US Now 218 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: to discuss the revelations made after the trial, the women, 219 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: the will, the math, and an exclusive club. Caro, since 220 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: the trial, you've been in contact with a certain woman 221 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: who didn't appear at the trial but certainly made an impact. 222 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: That's Sydney sex worker Madison Ashton. First off, what's she 223 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: said about the not guilty verdict? 224 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: Madison Ashton, who was Philip Polkinhorn's former mistress, was absolutely 225 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: shaken by the verdict because I rang her immediately after 226 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: the jury had made their decision and she said, I'm 227 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: so shocked, I'm shaking. My whole body is shaking. And 228 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: then I later asked her if you actually gave evidence 229 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: at the trial, would it have made a difference? And 230 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 3: she said probably not. During the trial, Medicine and I 231 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: were in contact while she was traveling overseas to Lisbon, Sicily, 232 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: London and Croatia. So when I asked her that question 233 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: about whether she thinks she could have made a difference, 234 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 3: she said no, probably not, because her anger was not 235 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 3: directed at anyone else but the police. She believed that 236 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: they watched the entire investigation and she felt that if 237 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: she was to go on the stand, it would have 238 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: made no difference at all and she would have been 239 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: probably decimated by the defense council. 240 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: So you mentioned she actually fled to Europe during the 241 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: trial and she was of course meant to take the 242 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: stand for the crown, And you mentioned that she didn't 243 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: really have any regrets about it. Was she keeping in 244 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: contact with the trial while she was overseas or just 245 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: really enjoying herself. 246 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: Well, Madison Ashton had went overseas partially because she was 247 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: very concerned about the direction of how the trial was going, 248 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 3: and so she was turning fifty, so she decided to 249 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: shelter solf a trip to Europe. But she did tell 250 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: me she was mainlining on the trial. She could not 251 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: get enough to the point where she stayed up all 252 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: night because of our time difference, purely because she wanted 253 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: to find out what was happening. 254 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: We learned a lot about Ashton and Polkinghorn's relationship during 255 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: the trial, but what more of you learned from the 256 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: woman herself about their relationship. 257 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: Well, the thing is through this whole investigation, and it 258 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 3: really has been, Chelsea, because I've lived and breathed this 259 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: since twenty twenty one, and so gradually, as you talk 260 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 3: to people into friends of Pauline Hannah's family members, other 261 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: sex workers, Polkinghorn himself, you paint a picture of all 262 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: the sort of elements and how they all connect to 263 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: the digsal puzzle that isn't Ashton was initially very hostile 264 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: towards me at that point. She claims she believed in 265 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: Polkinghorn's innocence. She had no idea that he was actually 266 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: still married to Pauline Hannah till the sex trist she 267 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: had with Philip Pokinghorn at Mount Cook about six weeks 268 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: after Pauline Hannah's death. And I guess with Madison Ashton, 269 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: I didn't know just the level or their status of 270 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: their relationship. So from what I understand was from twenty 271 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 3: eleven Pauline Hannah and Philip Pokinghorn they engaged in a 272 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: booking with Madison Ashton and three other sex workers. So 273 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: it was purely, as Ashton tells me, from twenty eleven 274 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: to probably twenty seventeen, it was purely transactional between her 275 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: and Polkinghorn. Then from a bart twenty seventeen to a 276 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 3: Bart twenty twenty one up to the present day. It's 277 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: my understanding that and also Ashton's, that Pockinghorn was actually 278 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: beginning to fall in love with her. It was becoming 279 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: really obsessed, and he would make trips to Sydney. He 280 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: bought a lease for an apartment for her to live 281 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 3: in for two years, so they were building a relationship together. 282 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 3: Around about twenty nineteen, as we'd heard in the trial, 283 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: Pockinghorn was acting quite erratically at work. Also, the relationship 284 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 3: with Pauline was clearly at a turning point. He went 285 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: to Sydney that year and spent it with Ashton in 286 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: her apartment. Pauline and the rest of the family were 287 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: at rings speech and Pokinghorn told Pauline that he was 288 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: going away on a men's treat Well, clearly that wasn't 289 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: the case. What Ashton told me in twenty nineteen was 290 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 3: Polkinghorn had told her that he was about to divorce Pauline, 291 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: but that never eventuated. 292 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: And it's not only Madison Ashton who you've spoken to, hey, 293 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to sex workers. 294 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 3: I managed to find one woman, Aubrey Black, that's her 295 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 3: working name, and only wants to be known as Aubrey Black. 296 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 3: And she was interestingly a New Zealander born in New 297 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: Zealand and Gisbon of all places, to a family of Mormons, 298 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 3: so obviously very religious. Aubrey then got into sex work 299 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 3: in Australia and is an international porn star. Polkinghorn contacted 300 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: Aubrey a couple of months after Pauline's death. I think 301 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 3: he went through the Scarlet Blue agency where she works 302 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 3: and made a booking with her. So she came up 303 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 3: to New Zealand. They met at the Sky City and 304 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: Black says they never had sex that night, but Pokinghorn 305 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: had told her that Pauline Hannah had killed herself. So 306 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 3: they talked and he sobbed and he said that you know, 307 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: she was very stressed and depressed and relied on a 308 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: lot of medications and was unraveling basically before her death. 309 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: Also that her mother had previously died. When he arrived, 310 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 3: he brought a green handbag, one of Pauline Hannah's, filled 311 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: with a bottle of prosecco and some fetter cheese, and 312 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 3: Black said it was the most disgusting thing. They met 313 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: a second time and they had sex, but it was 314 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: interesting because Pokinghorn wanted to offer Black the use of 315 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 3: Pauline Hannah's car and also her handbags and designer shoes, 316 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 3: and also to fix her teeth. There was nothing wrong 317 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 3: with her teeth, but he said that I'll repair for 318 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 3: your teeth, and it was a very bizarre thing. So 319 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: she thought that was quite dodgy. It wasn't until she 320 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: went back to Australia she found out that he was 321 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: later being investigated for the death of Pauline Hannah. The 322 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: second sex worker that I spoke to that The Herald 323 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: has chosen not to name, spent a lot of time 324 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: with Philip Pokinghorn during the lockdown in twenty twenty. They 325 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 3: had sex in Pokinghorn and Hannah's house the first time, 326 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: and he basically would call her all the time. He 327 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 3: became quite obsessive with her, and basically she was due 328 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: to leave to go back to Australia, but of course 329 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: lockdown happened, and then he said, well, look you can 330 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: come and stay with me at my rings speech holiday 331 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 3: hus So she did that. But during that time, the 332 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 3: woman who we called Nicole said that she just felt 333 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 3: like she described herself as the lockdown wife and basically 334 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 3: the relationship, she claims was purely transactional. But Polkinghorn wanted 335 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: sex regularly without having to pay her. He bought her 336 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 3: a computer. He basically was fixated by her as well. 337 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: And the funny thing about all of these sex workers, 338 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 3: and you know the photographs that I've seen, is they 339 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 3: a younger Well, in fact ure Black said, we're younger 340 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 3: versions of Pauline Hannah. Philip Pokinghorn has a prototype. Madison 341 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 3: Ashton says that she was Pauline Hannah two point zero. 342 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: They all had big hair, brunette hair, petite, but with 343 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: big breasts, so they all were similar versions of Pauline. 344 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: I remember actually early on you spoke to Polkinghorn right 345 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: after Pauline's death, but actually before he was charged. Right 346 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: how bizarre was that conversation with him. It was over 347 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: the phone, wasn't it. 348 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 3: I was asked by one of the editors, actually Hamish Fletcher, 349 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 3: to make a phone call or to do what we 350 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 3: call a door knock that day, I remember it clearly. 351 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: It was so I was just emailed a potential cell 352 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: phone number for Philip Pokinghorn. But it was Friday morning 353 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: and it was really raining, hard, horrible morning, and I thought, look, 354 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 3: you know, the chances are I'm not quite sure what 355 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: the situation is, but I'll just give it a shot. 356 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: And so I rang him and it was the most 357 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 3: bizarre conversation I've ever ever had. Firstly, it began, you know, 358 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: obviously I introduced myself. Philip Pokinghorn told me that his 359 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: lawyers had advised him not to speak to the media. 360 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: But then he started talking about how much he missed 361 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 3: her and that this whole thing was just horrible. Horrible, 362 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: horrible were his words. It got even more bizarre because 363 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: near the middle of the conversation I sort of said, so, 364 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: you know, how would you describe relationship? Was it fine? 365 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: And the most unusual words, which you know, was used 366 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 3: as evidence in court, was like it wasn't fine. It 367 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: wasn't fine at all. It was perfect or something along 368 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: those words, which to me, no relationship is in my experience, 369 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: and I'm sure in yours and everybody else we're all human, right, 370 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 3: relationship is ever perfect. And of course the trial revealed 371 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: there were so many flaws in Pauline Hannah and Philip 372 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 3: Polkinghorn's relationship as there are in any relationship or marriage. 373 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: And do we know anything about Polkinghorn's life after the trial, 374 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: because we spent a lot of time talking about him 375 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: and listening about the intricacies of his relationships and his 376 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: life over a nine week period, and not so much afterwards. 377 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: Do we know anything? 378 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: I was very sort of determined to find out more, Chelsea, 379 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: because you know, as I said earlier, it's been a 380 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 3: case that's probably taken over my life for three years, 381 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: and it's also been such a highly publicized, controversial criminal case, 382 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 3: so it's had the whole nation obsessed by it. So 383 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 3: I thought, well, there must be more. So one of 384 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: our journalists, Steve Brounius, wrote on the day of the 385 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 3: verdict that Polkinghorn and his sister Ruth went straight across 386 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 3: the road to the Auckland Northern Club, which I thought 387 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 3: was rather odd because given the high level of interest 388 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 3: in this case, I found that interesting. So I decided 389 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: to actually make some inquiries into the Northern Club because 390 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: there is a rule in the Northern Club, rule forty three. 391 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: They have a level of conduct that you have to 392 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: adhere to. Polkinghorn had pleaded guilty to methamphetamine charges, so 393 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 3: clearly that was a criminal act. But I thought, well 394 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: is this right and how would the other members feel 395 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: about that fact? 396 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: It's quite an exclusive club as well? 397 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: Well it is. It's they have over two thousand members. 398 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: It's generally for professionals or business you know, work in 399 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 3: the business community, and it's a networking thing and as 400 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: you say exclusive, it's a building that's associated with a 401 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 3: lot of rich history. I was very lucky in one 402 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 3: of the sources that I contacted who was very helpful 403 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 3: and had given me some names of people or members 404 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: that belonged to the club. And another Casey, who has 405 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: been remarkable as well. She's been very very sort of 406 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: utspoken about her anger that Polkinghorn has lowered the reputation 407 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 3: of the club and that if he came in he 408 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 3: would not be welcome, so little by little like it 409 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: was gathering evidence and information. The general consensus is people 410 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: some members wanted him out, So we just have to 411 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 3: wait and see what happens with the Northern Club. The 412 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: other thing that I have been focusing on was the 413 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: Northern Club. And also I managed to find out how 414 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: supplied Philip Polkinghorn with the fifty six grams of meth 415 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 3: and fhetamine which Polkinghorn paid fourteen thousand dollars for. And 416 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 3: that was quite enlightening. 417 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: Because so did he have fifty six because there was 418 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: thirty seven point seven grams found at his time. 419 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 3: Now, but this meth and phetamine was purchased around March 420 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: or April. So I'm not making any kind of connections here, 421 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 3: but that is what the meth dealer told me. So 422 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: that happened. And then the other thing is that it 423 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: was slightly mentioned in court but not touched upon greatly 424 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: except for the defense lawyer Ron Mansfield KC when he 425 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: was interviewing Bruce Hannah, applying that Bruce Hannah was interested 426 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: in Pauline Hannah's will. Well, that was not the case 427 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 3: because I also wrote a story a few weeks ago 428 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 3: that Pauline Hannah. They cannot find a will for Pauline Hannah. 429 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: So she had set up trusts and stuff with Philip Polkinghorn, 430 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 3: but there was still no evidence of a will. Which 431 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: the weird thing is is that Philip Polkinghorn Bruce Hannah 432 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 3: told me rang him the day out, straight after the 433 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: day of puling Handa's death, have you got her will? 434 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: Which he thought was outrageous because he said, well, why 435 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: would I have the will? How would I have her will? 436 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: So Bruce Hannah approached me to write a story about 437 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 3: somewhere in Auckland, in some law firm, Pauline Hannah's will 438 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 3: must be here somewhere.
