Confirmation of ongoing corrupt prejudice and bias by Wairarapa police.

This letter from a lawyer dated 25 July 2007, says (p2, para2) "It was always apparent from an early stage that for whatever reason you were a 'lightning rod' for police attention in Carterton.  This was, in my view, most unfair to you, and unwarranted police attention resulted in unnecessary charges being laid."  I do not agree with all the statements in this letter, but I certainly agree with that one.

I shoplifted once about 30 years ago after I listened to a friend who said it would be a good idea, and stole a pot plant from someone's verandah at about the same time.  I learned my lesson and didn't break the law again for 30 years.  And then I ended up in Carterton, where the corrupt local police get their kicks tormenting law abiding people while they let criminals get away with blatant crimes such as the drunken home invasion committed by recidivist violent offender Gary Hamilton McPhee (half way down the page at that link).  I discovered how the media corruptly portray decent people as criminals while they promote their favorite political candidates for personal gain.

McPhee boasted about his despicable attack in the pathetic little police propaganda publication the local Wairarapa Times-Age, under the headline "Exclusive: WHY I DID WHAT I DID" which lauded him as a hero and promoted the lie that the victims had "asked for it", describing them as "criminals and troublemakers" - exactly the same way PC Cunningham tried to make out that I had "asked for it" regarding the attack by Michael Murphy on 11 February 2009, which McPhee helped plan, and which resulted in the equally despicable letter from the Board of Trustees of the South End School, not to mention the current corruptly laid charge of perverting the course of justice.

After I was punched in the face by the chairman of the committee of the Carterton Community Centre (which mainly consisted of members of the Carterton District Council, I couldn't believe that the police insisted on letting him off with diversion in spite of the fact that it was the second time he'd assaulted me in a week.

Wairarapa Police have corruptly conspired with Masterton Court staff to pervert the course of justice repeatedly for many years now and it is time for a full and transparent inquiry.  Systemic failures in the Wairarapa Police have been well documented for years - the website of the Masterton Library has a link to Newspaper searches.  Search 'Wairarapa Police' (sort set to latest to earliest, try Masterton police or just police) and you will see that systemic failures have been reported regularly since the library began keeping records.  (Other interesting keywords to search this database are Crime, Suicide, Georgina Beyer, Gary McPhee, etc.)  I'm not perverting the course of justice, the police are, and have been for years, assisted by Police Prosecutor Gary Wilson's de facto partner, Deputy Registrar of the Masterton Court Liz Harpleton, and their corrupt mates.

Here's a link to part one of a report by the IPCA into systemic failures within the NZ police with particular regard to uninvestigated child abuse allegations, and the manner such investigations are carried out in general.

After coming to Carterton I was elected to the committee of the Carterton Community Centre as Secretary and Finance Officer by the members of the incorporated society and asked to investigate allegations of fraud and mismanagement which were obviously well founded, and are supported by letters from several lawyers and the evidence itself, such as the financial reports, Minutes book, etc.  I discovered a number of large number of payments being made to individuals and recorded as personal grievance payments, or miscellaneous, although the payments were purely arbitrary and the matters were not subject to Employment Tribunal judgements or any other legal process, and in fact, had been made against specific legal advice.

This is the transcript of a letter from Masterton lawyer Ivan Young-Gough to fellow lawyer Ainslie Hewton regarding these matters:  Ainslie Hewton had agreed to represent me in an claim to the Employment Tribunal of unjustified dismissal, etc, and Ivan Young Gough offered his assistance accordingly, after confirming to me that he had specifically advised the committee of the Carterton Community Centre, including current Deputy Mayor Elaine Brazendale and several Carterton District Councillors, not to make the payments, which was the reason for the Bill of Costs referred to in the last paragraph.  Ainslie Hewton kept my initial contribution payment for legal aid - and then never even submitted my application for legal aid!  Ainslie Hewton was also instrumental in corruptly denying me access to the local Community Law Centre:

FROM IVAN YOUNG GOUGH TO AINSLIE HEWTON  28 MAY 2001


Dear Kamil,


As discussed with Kate and yourself I said I would get back to you with my view of the issues arising from her relationship with the Carterton Community Centre (CCC).


I note that Kate already has a personal grievance underway with Gawith & Co, arising from a previous employment relationship.  I do not believe it would be helpful for her cases by having three lawyers working for her.  I also hold the view that the personal grievance arising from her employment at the CCC is too closely associated with the other issues that arise and that the wisest course is to confine the matters to one lawyer.  


The issues as I see them are as follows:

• personal grievance for unjustifiable disadvantage before her dismissal (or lock out);
• personal grievance for unjustifiable dismissal (good arguments on substantive and procedural grounds;
• arising from the above there seems to be holiday pay owing (I am not sure what notice provisions there were, if any;
• a second complaint to the Police arising from an alleged assault the day before the one that went to Court;
• A complaint to the Police concerning the granting of diversion for an assault causing actual bodily harm (broken teeth) and the manner in which that outcome was arrived at by the Police;
• A claim for ACC cover and entitlements;
• A civil claim for restitution/reparation for the costs of treatment and associated matters arising from both assaults;
• Civil action against the person who assaulted Kate if this is possible; and civil action against the CCC and the individual members if they nave acted ultra vires (which seems to be the case)

From past experience I doubt if the CCC itself has much in the way of assets.  I doubt whether most of the individuals concerned have much either.


I would be happy to assist, advise or provide whatever I can to progress Kate’s claims.  I believe there needs to be a pragmatic approach, and that any proceedings unlikely to succeed or achieve much for the effort expended should be ditched.  The rest needs to be prioritised and set down in some sort of plan/strategy.


Finally, Kate has asked me about a Notice of Costs the CCC paid to me sometime last year.  As she is no longer employed in the position she held I cannot assist.  This could possibly be obtained by disclosure.


Give me a call if you want any help; leave a message if I am out or unavailable.


Yours sincerely,


Ivan S. Young-Gough, lawyer

Lawyer Ken Daniels' Letters to the Area Commander:

Police have corruptly and arrogantly completely ignored these letters from lawyer Ken Daniels, as well as letters from about half a dozen other lawyers, (as well as letters from myself and other people, including two substantial community petitions), and so have the Police Complaints Authority, who are anything but independent! They ignore all these letters because their mates are involved in the blatant criminal activity at the former Carterton Community Centre, and the same people responsible for this are behind the widely unpopular plan to build a Community 'Event Centre'/'Facility', the same people who condoned the illegal takeover of the former Carterton Community Resource Centre by punching the Secretary and Treasurer in the face and changing the locks to conceal the fraud and misfeasance by the committee, mainly associated with the Carterton District Council, a major funder of the Centre. Here are some of Ken Daniels's letters to police, evidencing this blatant corruption!

From: Ken Daniels, Lawyer, Chapel St, Masterton

To: The Area Commander, New Zealand Police, P O Box 443, Masterton

26 August 2004 

Dear Sir

Re: Katherine Raue

There have been numerous items of correspondence written between Kate Raue and yourself and correspondence with the Police Complaints Authority over a number of issues that she has raised in recent times. 

I must confess that I have not given what I believe was sufficient attention to some of the matters that Kate Raue had raised with me in the past mainly I suspect because the matters appeared to be far too complex and involved and I tended not to see any relevance in some of the complaints that she was making. 

On a recent visit to me however and after spending some time looking at documentary evidence that she showed me, I largely changed my view and believe that there genuinely are matters of concern that do need to be investigated. 

I have not got to the bottom of all the matters Kate Raue complains about but there is one instance that does seem to suggest that there has been fraud at the Carterton Community Centre which has diverted funds designed for one purpose deliberately to another. 

I enclose with this letter a copy of the accounts which appear to represent income and expenditure from the Carterton Community Centre for the financial year 01 April 2000 to 31 March 2001 as they related to the Community Gardens. You will notice how in the income received, there was a sum of $9,000 received from the Tindall Foundation. It is assumed that this money was received following an application for a grant from that Charitable Foundation. The monies would have been requested and received for purposes relating to the Community Gardens in Carterton. The sum of $9,000 was received in April of 2000. 

The following month in May there was a payment of $6,000.00 paid from the Community Gardens account for a personal grievance payment. The information that apparently exists although I have not personally seen it is that there were insufficient funds to pay a personal grievance from the Community Gardens and the funding that was obtained from the Tindall Foundation was immediately paid out as at least part payment on that personal grievance. The payment apparently could not be made at an earlier stage and the fundng received from Tindall Foundation was a necessary receipt to enable the payment to be made to settle the personal grievance. 

If the above set of circumstances is accurate then there is no doubt whatsoever that there was a fraudulent use of the monies received from the Tindall Foundation. There had been no budgeted allowance made for personal grievances. This can be seen from the budget column in the expenditure part of the accounts where an amount of only $220 was allowed for the twelve months involved. A payment of $6000 was needed and this was paid directly from the charitable donation. 

I believe that the affairs of the Carterton Community Centre are in disarray. There is currently an application before the High Court to have them wound up because of insufficient numbers. There are numerous other complaints as well about the way in which members of the public including members were excluded from meetings etc. This letter does not purport to address all those issues but I am deeply concerned after having seen the information supplied to me by Kate Raue that monies received for one purpose be used for an incorrect purpose. 

I have been advised that a similar improper payment may have been made in respect of the account that was run for the disadvantaged members of the community. This apparently exists under the copy of the account also enclosed which is headed up VOSP 2000 – 2001. You will see also that there is a “miscellaneous” payment of $1,000.00 made in September of 2000 following receipt of a substantial amount fromWINZ funding. It is understood that this also was a payment to an individual who claimed to have a personal grievance. 

I am not an accountant (as will be obvious) but I believe there are sufficient genuine concerns raised here to warrant some investigation. These are community funds which were largely received from charitable donations which appear to have been siphoned off improperly.

I should add that according to Kate Raue there was possibly legal advice given to the people running the Carterton Community Centre that they should not make personal greivance payments in the way that they did. This is another matter that may need to be looked into because it would make the payments even less appropriate if they were done contrary to legal advice. 

I appreciate the fact that earlier complaints may have been thought to be ill-founded or frivolous or for whatever reason were not properly investigated but I believe that there actually does exist hard evidence to suggest that a reopening of the investigation should be made with urgency. As I have said the Community Centre and its funds are currently subject to a High Court Application. 

If it is more convenient for you to do so I would be happy to act as a go-between between yourselves and Kate Raue so that I can request further details from her.

Are you able to assist with what I believe is now a genuine complaint?

Yours faithfully

Ken Daniels

_______________________

The frauds refered to are the numerous "personal grievance" payments the committee was making to their friends and the grossly inflated and unjustified "wages", "volunteer reimbursements" etc, and the other serious discrepancies in the Financial Reports and the Minutes of the Carterton Community Centre Inc (scroll down at the link to view them).
These records show that thousands of dollars were taken from organisations that had nothing to do with the particular organisation which was the subject of the "personal grievance" - a "personal grievance" that was never ever referred to the Employment Tribunal or Mediation Service and was not a formal personal grievance at all.

In the case of the particular records at the link, it can be seen that several thousand dollars was taken from each of about six or seven different "organisations" which were "acting under the umbrella" of the Carterton Community Centre for funding purposes.  The organisations from which the money was taken had no liability for the so called "grievance" whatsoever, their own funding had all been applied for for specific purposes and the payments made to the grievance against the other organisation was outright theft - and it was one of two such "Personal Grievance" payments being made at the time in just the same way, which is why lawyer Ivan Young-Gough wrote me a letter confirming the illegality of it, and there was a long history of similar fraud and malfeasance at the Centre.  The beneficiary of the particular "grievance" documented at the link was a Helen Staples - I wonder if she's related to South Wairarapa Mayor Adrienne Staples - nepotism is rife in the Wairarapa, and those in charge of local governance are the one profiting from this blatant theft from the less well off and from the so called 'community organisations' - most of the local community organisations benefit the people running them - not the intended beneficiaries at all - which is why Wairarapa tops the New Zealand suicide statistics regularly.

After receiving no response to that letter whatsoever, and no reply to my own enquiries to the police and Mr Daniels about the matter, and after the instigation of the campaign by local police to corruptly target me with a large number of charges which were an abuse of power and malicious and vexatious litigation, Mr Daniels wrote the following letter to the Police Prosecutor:

This is the unbelievably arrogant response:

From: murray.johnston@police.govt.nzSent: Wednesday, 26 April 2006 12:01 p.m.To: Ken DanielsSubject: Kate RAUE – Your letter dated 18 April
Hi Ken
I’m having a quick look at issues outlined in your letter before I head off on a course for two weeks.
To assist me in doing so can I please have a bit more detail regarding points 1, 2, and 5.
I suspect that point 2 relates to REYNOLDS retrieving his car but may also relate to MANSON.
I suspect point 5 relates to Mayor McPhee’s unique way of dealing with a noise complaint that received so much publicity. I am not aware of Kate being in any way related to that.I’ll have to consult the Carterton Police regarding other points in your letter.
I sent Kates latest letter off to the PCA for registering as a complaint. Will get a copy to you. The PCA has already ruled on a number of issues she raises and where that is the case they will not be re-visited .
I don’t remember your letter dated from 2004 but my apologies if I’ve failed to respond. I suspect it will have been put on one of Kates many files and may be hard to locate. Any such allegation by Kate against the Community Centre management would take a very low priority from a Police perspective. Her allegations about the Community Centre have mostly proved unfounded, emotive and simply not credible.

____________________________________

None of our complaints have been investigated, they've all been repeatedly and corruptly covered up.

Note Johnston refers to "point 1" in the second paragraph of his response but never mentions it again? He knows perfectly well that the "threatening text messages" refers to the messages to me from Masterton prostitute Rachel Betteridge and her husband, which say "You need a bullet" and "Watch your back" among other things. Police refuse to charge Betteridge or her husband in spite of statements from two JP's and the indisputable evidence that Betteridge and her husband had sent the messages, and instead charged me with sending unspecified messages to Betteridge! Of course I was acquitted, and it was established that Betteridge was lying, but only after a lengthy trial and months of extreme stress to me, and ridiculous cost to the taxpayer, all because the local police prosecutor and his live in lover, Court deputy registrar Liz Harpleton, think it's funny to play little games like this in the Masterton Court.

Point two relates to Constable Cunningham smashing the shed doors after Larry Manson's lies to police.

Point 5 relates to ex Mayor Gary McPhee's violent, vicious, cowardly home invasion, committed by him and his Council mate, they weren't the noise control officers and had no right to smash their way into the local flat where the occupants were innocently and quietly cooking their dinner - let alone assault the innocent occupants! Johnston knows perfectly well that I witnessed this attack, and tried to make a statement along with the other witnesses and victims - police simply refused to acknowledge the complaints!!! This corruption is outrageous!!!

__________________________________________

Another letter from Ken Daniels to me dated 25 July 2007 says this:

"I am pleased at the dismissal of a number of charges against you. That is as it should have been in my view. It was always apparent from an early stage that for whatever reason you were a "lightning rod" for Police attention in Carterton. 

This was, in my view, most unfair to you and unwarranted Police attention resulted in unnecessary charges being laid. On reflection it would have been far better if the Police had been able to discuss any concerns they had directly with you so that those concerns may have been laid to rest in a much more appropriate way." . . . 

"It is clear that there were many unanswered questions from the Police. We never did get full details from them regarding some of your cases. I have been unable to go back to "the matter of the 2004 letter" simply because of the volume of paperwork and the length of time that it would ave taken to have researched that matter. 

I do know however that numerous letters were sent to the Police and discussions held with them to try and get some satisfaction in relation to the allegations that they made against you. As I have said, those enquiries were not always met with success."

So instead of investigating crimes, police are busy plotting how to shut down my websites, sending each other emails like this one, which was sent by Sgt Kevin Basher to Sgt Murray Johnston on 7/9/2010:

Kevin Basher---07/09/2010 07:47:45---Something needs to be looked at regarding RAUE using her 'Blog" to make statements regarding our staff .

Repeated requests for the rest of this email and all others about me, and all other information police hold about me has been responded to with utter contempt for the law - police have provided "a composite file" because they claim that my files have been "lost" so they've had to make up new ones - what a pack of LIES!

The IPCA is corrupt, and anything but independent!  

Here is the correspondence between lawyer Michael Appleby, the IPCA and myself, which shows indisputably that the PCA and IPCA have been routinely lying and refusing to investigate or even acknowledge formal complaints and corruption and incompetence are rife within the NZ Police, many officers are seriously abusing their powers and perverting the course of justice by doing so on a routine basis.

And the only way to challenge this is to file action in the High Court - try and get a lawyer to assist you with that and they'll tell you that the government and the Courts have set up a legal system which is unaffordable for the average person, biased in favour of wealthy litigants and against people with little money and against people who wish to appeal against decisions of corrupt and incompetent public servants and government employees etc.

Here's the response I recently received after I asked another lawyer to assist me to take the IPCA to Court for refusing to acknowledge or investigate these complaints - according to the statutory and fiduciary duties and obligations binding the IPCA (the delay referred to was due to other lawyers failing to pass on or return my files, after they similarly refused to assist):

"In respect of complaining about the IPCA, there is no process I know of short of the High Court in litigation.

However a new Authority is about to be appointed Sir David Carruthers previously Parole Board Chairperson, and before that Chief District Court Judge.  (sic)

You could complain to him that his staff have not done their job, as a new broom he might be interested. 

Other matters
Given . . .  changes in Legal Aid funding I should advise you I am not going to be able to take your case on legal aid. 

I have been doing criminal legal aid files for some time, but with the introduction of fixed fees and the associated administrative burden now required for legal aid, in order to make a living I am forced to reduce the amount of legal aid cases I can do.
Partly as  result of this tightening in the year ended March 2011 , i.e. 12 months ago and that I had my worst year ever earning less than the average wage, $50,000, as a result I have been forced me to reconsider the number of cases on legal aid I can take. 

In the civil area, where your case falls, the paperwork required from the Legal Services Agency is onerous.

It is does not surprise me that of 4000 lawyers willing to take legal aid prior to 31 December 2011 now only about 2000 will.

I regret given the time delay and still not having all your files,  and the new legal aid regime that trying to take on your case requires more time than I have. 
Regrettably the payment offered form civil legal aid (which you of course are likely to be required to repay) does not provide a fair reward for work done.
Whilst I do not like to reduce the decision to a financial one, I regret having to be more selective in taking legal aid cases, and have turned down 10 in the last month, your potential case is not even ready to be considered and in addition to financial considerations I regret I don't have the time.

I will return your files.

Tony Ellis."

Wairarapa Police and Court Staff Corrupt and Incompetent:

I was shocked when local police let off Tony Feinson with Diversion after he assaulted me in the office of the Carterton Community Centre (CCC) in 2001, breaking two of my teeth.  Locals soon assured me that this was normal Police practice, to bully and persecute the victims of violence and protect the offenders.

Feinson and a gang of people associated with the Carterton District Council (CDC) illegally took control of the CCC by assaulting me in early April 2001, and changing the locks on the building after complaints were made to the Police regarding the fraud and serious malfeasance at the Carterton Community Centre and the involvement of disgraced former MP, and transvestite prostitute Georgina Beyer the Liar.

I was legally employed at the Centre, as well as holding my Executive positions on the committee.  Corrupt local lawyer Ainslie Hewton took $50 from me, promising to file a claim in the Employment Tribunal.  I spent considerbale time completing legal aid applications and Employment Tribunal applications.

 LETTER FROM LAWYER IVAN YOUNG GOUGH TO AINSLIE HEWTON  28 MAY 2001 

Dear Kamil,

As discussed with Kate and yourself I said I would get back to you with my view of the issues arising from her relationship with the Carterton Community Centre (CCC).

I note that Kate already has a personal grievance underway with Gawith and Co, arising from a previous employment relationship.  I do not believe it would be helpful for her cases by having three lawyers working for her.  I also hold the view that the personal grievance arising from her employment at the CCC is too closely associated with the other issues that arise and that the wisest course is to confine the matters to one lawyer.

Give me a call if you want any help; leave a message if I am out or unavailable.

Yours sincerely,

Ivan S. Young-Gough, lawyer 

"Acting ultra vires" means acting with no lawful authority.

Ainslie Hewton took $50 off me, telling me it was a mandatory initial contribution toward legal aid, then Hewton refused to do any work on the matter whatsoever, refused to submit the legal aid application which I had completed and handed to her along with the $50, and refused to refund the $50.

When an application was made to the High Court to wind up the Carterton Community Centre, by John Crawford and his SEVEN friends (Elaine Brazendale, twice bankrupted Frank and Maureen Craig, Evelyn Dearnley (who wouldn't know what day of the week it is, and took me to Court unsuccessfully for calling her a hypocrite, poor woman), Julie Hallam, Ewen Hyde, and Jill Greathead,) members of Friends of the Carterton Community centre put up notices advertising a public meeting to discuss the illegal takeover mismanagement and closure of the former Carterton Community Centre and the involvement of a group associated with the Carterton District Council, a major funder of the Centre, in the fraud and misfeasance at the centre, which had been confirmed by several lawyers, including Ivan Young-Gough, Kamil Lakshman, Michael Appleby and others.

I was charged with Billsticking.  Following my acquittal, after the police failed to turn up to Court, like they did on 8th December 2009, and again on 7th April 2008 in the Decision of Judge Butler.

This letter to the police from lawyer Ken Daniels in 2004 clearly details one instance of the frauds complained of by members of the Carterton Community Centre.

Click on the image to enlarge it and read it, or email me for a better copy.

Funds granted for specific projects,  to several community organisations, was indisputably stolen from several different bank accounts of unrelated organisations, and given to an individual against legal advice.

Evidence can be viewed of the Minutes of the Community Centre committee at which the decision was made here and the financial records of the organisations under the control of the committee of the Community Centre there and everywhere on this site, with more going up daily.  Ken Daniels had to be asked repeatedly to write this letter, following my acquittal on the Billsticking charge, and the pathetic "apology" from the police regarding that matter, and repeated harassment from Constables Wakefield, Cunningham and Pope, refusal of police sergeant Glenn Taplin to charge Rachel Betteridge and her husband with sending me extremely threatening and offensive text messages, etc.

The second page of this letter has just disappeared (along with 3/4 of this posting,) but we'll move on and come back to this letter later.  The letter was completely and utterly ignored by police.

  

On the left is the boastful confession published by the local propaganda distributor the Wairarapa Times-Age, (25 May 2005) complete with the photo of the big oaf in his Sunday best suit with the Mayoral chain - to give the story extra credibility for the many gullible idiots who accepted this rubbish as an excuse for McPhee's drunken criminal violence, instead of the usual one of him with his silly little baseball cap on backwards astride his stupid Harley Davidson.

EXCLUSIVE - McPHEE:
WHY I DID WHAT I DID:   Screamed the headlines, and all the posters outside the retail outlets.  McPhee's mates in the police and the Wairarapa Times-Age made up rumours that the victims of the attack had "asked for it" because they were criminals and "trouble makers" -according to drunken violent criminal McPhee!  McPhee and his drunken mate were the criminals, police and local journalists corruptly perverted the course of justice to prevent McPhee being charged!

Contrast that with the posters outside all retail outlets in the electorate two weeks before voting day saying "Mayoral candidate in Court appearance" referring to a corruptly laid charge against me which was promptly dismissed or withdrawn - like so many others!  - Not to mention the other slanderous "reports" of alleged "disorderly behaviour" - NONE of which have been upheld by the Courts and which have also been discredited by WITNESS STATEMENTS - from people who have actually been present - unlike the 'reporters' on many occasions!

Below, left, is a letter faxed to police by Ken Daniels in 2006, refering to  "a total lack of action" regarding numerous complaints, including the ones about corrupt local Mayor McPhee's drunken home invasion, and the ones in the previous letter in 2004 at the top of the page.

And next to that is the unbelievably rude, arrogant, dismissive, unprofessional, damningly corrupt email from Sgt Murray Johnston, who knows perfectly well that there were several complaints about McPhee's drunken attack (with his drunken mate).  Nearly as corrupt as this rubbish from the corrupt Area Commander John Johnston, recently exposed for his corruption and incompetence regarding the systemic failure of child abuse investigations in the Wairarapa - he squanders the resources he gets, and this site is exposing more of it every day:                                                                                                                                               

This is supposed to be an apology to me from the police after they failed to turn up to Court after wasting so much time and money prosecuting me for Billsticking for putting up notices calling for a public meeting to discuss the illegal takeover, mismanagement and closure of the Carterton Community Centre, and gross misfeasance regarding the affairs of the Centre by a group of people mainly associated with the Carterton District Council.

It refers to "police action or inaction" - ? and "procedural disputes within the Masterton Police at present." 

The letter is supposed to be an apology, but as readers can see it is a rude and sarcastic insult, not an apology, written by a man who was once a good police officer, but who has now been corrupted to write this rubbish.

This letter to Ken Daniels is evidence of how the Wairarapa police deal with formal complaints from lawyers, they just ignore them.

Police are supposed to forward formal complaints to the PCA, but in the Wairarapa they do things their own way and simply don't bother when it doesn't suit them.  Even when they are forwarded, the PCA just give the complaints to the police themselves, the subjects of the complaints, to investigate. ad infinitum, at the tax payer's expense, providing employment to people like Tara Sewell of the police, who continues to claim that the file regarding the investigation into the many allegations about the Carterton Community Centre does not exist.

The excuse given for police wasting so much of everyone's time and money is:  "As I've said in the letter, this is part of an ongoing difference of expectations between the Prosecutor and other staff.  The Area Commander is looking into it and I hope a solution will be found quickly."

Well a solution hasn't been found.  The NZ police - and the Wairarapa police in particular - are as corrupt and incompetent as ever, and the (I)PCA is as useless and corrupt as ever - Prosecutors are throwing more money at the corrupt charges before the Court regarding the South End School and Michael Murphy.

I wrote back to the PCA to say that Ken Daniels agreed with me that the letter was rude and sarcastic and was not an apology at all, and that there were far more serious allegations that needed to be investigated, such as the allegations on the notices that Police had charged me with displaying.  Constable Cunningham claimed, when he tried to "arrest" me, that the notices were defamatory.

Cunningham was clearly acting corruptly, like Constable Steve Wakefield, and the other incompetent and corrupt police officers in the Wairarapa.  Like the illegal trespass notice served by Wakefield to prevent me attending the meeting at which corrupt Carterton District Council employee and former corrupt Electoral Officer - who stole $400 from the poor while acting in that position, after stealing all our community resources at the former Community Centre with her other mates on the Council - changed the Constitution of the Community Centre to ensure indemnity and limitation of liability for Hallam and her mates over the corruption and gross misfeasance they had practised at the CCC, which Beyer the Liar had to resign from parliament for 'her' (yeah, right) role in covering up.

Beyer the Liar perverted the course of justice by writing letters repeatedly denying that there was any wrongdoing at the former Carterton Community Centre.  Beyer knew perfectly well that there was, and that it was out of control and the committee was corrupt and incompetent.

Ken Daniels' letters refer to the fact that "I must confess that I haven't given sufficient attention to some of the matters that kate Raue has raised with me in the past mainly I suspect because the matters appeared to be far too complex and involved and I tended not to see any relevance in some of the complaints that she was making." (Ken Daniels letter to The Area Commander NZ Police, dated 28 August 2004, on this site, will locate it and link to it shortly for those with a short attention span).

Ken Daniels' letter goes on:  "On a recent visit to me however and after spending some time looking at documentary evidence that she showed me, I largely changed my view and believe that there genuinely are matters of concern that do need to be investigated.  I have not got to the bottom of all the matters Kate Raue complains about but there is one instance that does seem to suggest that there has been fraud at the Carterton Community Centre which has diverted funds designed for one purpose deliberately to another."

The letter refers to the personal grievance payment which was made in direct contradiction to the legal advice given to the committee chairman Tony Feinson (who assaulted me in the office and broke two of my teeth, Constable Wakefield let him off with Diversion, the police prosecutor lied to the Court, telling them that (1) ACC would pay for my injuries (they didn't) (2) Feinson had written a letter of apology (he had not) (3) I had been given an opportunity to be heard by the Court (police changed the date of the hearing and didn't tell me).

The letter goes on "There is no doubt whatsoever that there was a fraudulent use of the monies received from the Tindall Foundation."  "I believe that the affairs of the Carterton Community Centre are in disarray.  There is currently an application before the High Court to have them wound up because of insufficient numbers.  There are other complaints as well about the way in which members of the public including members [of the Incorporated Society] were excluded from meetings etc.  This letter does not purport to address all those issues but I am deeply concerned after having seen the information supplied to me by Kate Raue that monies received for one purpose be used for an incorrect purpose.

I have been advised that a similar improper payment may have been made in respect of the account that was run for the disadvantaged members of the community.  This apparently exists under the copy of the account also enclosed which is headed up VOSP 2000-2001.  You will see also that there is a "miscellaneous" payment of $1,000 made in September of 2000 following receipt of a substantial amount from WINZ funding.  It is understood that this also was a payment to an individual who claimed to have a personal grievance."

"I believe there are suffficient genuine concerns raised here to warrant some investigation.   These are community funds which were largely received from charitable donations which appear to have been sipnoned off improperl.  I should add that according to Kate Raue there was possible legal advice given to the people running the Carterton Community Centre that they should not make personal grievance payments in the way that they did.  This is another matter that may need to be looked into because it would make the payments even less appropriate if they were done contrary to legal advice.

I appreciate that earlier complaints may have been thought to be ill founded or frivolous or for whatever reason were not properly investigated but I believe that there actually does exist hard evidence to suggest that a reopening of the investigation should be made with urgency.  As I have said the Community Centre and its funds are currently subject to a high Court Application.

If it is more convenient for you to do so I would be happy to act as a go between between yourselves and Kate Raue so that I can request further details from her.  Are you able to assist with want I believe is now a genuine complaint?

Yours faithfully, 

Ken Daniels

This letter was completely ignored by police, who had the cheek to write this rubbish to me:

The last paragraph on the first page of this letter says it all:  It's clear that I am being harassed by Constable Cunningham, and other corrupt members of the police.  This letter was supposed to be an apology for not turning up for the Billsticking hearing.  Area Commander Inspector J F Johnston has got the utter cheek to say that it's alright for Constable Cunningham to harass me, and for the police to proceed with a prosecution on which there was no evidence whatsoever that a crime had been committed, because he "was following the directions of his superiors."  - What???  Sack his superiors then!

In 2007 lawyer Michael Appleby wrote a scathing letter to the Police Complaints Authority, which has totally ignored most of our complaints - I intend taking the IPCA to Court regarding that matter - there has NEVER been any investigation WHATSOEVER into my allegations regarding the FRAUD and THEFT, assaults, etc, at the former Carterton Community Centre - which resulted in Georgina Beyer resigning from parliament when we confronted the Clerk of the House with the EVIDENCE of Beyer's corruption and lies.

Like Constable Laura Rhymer, who didn't turn up to Court on the 8th December 2009, because she stupidly followed the instructions of her superiors and made up a pack of lies about her interviews with Aaron Brook, who came and told me that he and his cousin had seen Michael Murphy in the same place at the same time as I had reported to police that he had earlier burgled my home to retrieve a computer disc containing evidence of an attack by him on me in my home on 11th February 2009, which Murphy and Cunningham are trying to pretend didn't happen.

Constable Rhymer applied for annual leave about two working days before the hearing of the charges of Perverting the Course of Justice and Escaping from Custody set down to be heard in Masterton District Court on 8th December 2009.  

Police did this because they found out that the charges were to be heard by Judge M J Behrens QC, who knows perfectly well that the local Police are not to be trusted.  Police are hoping to get a more corrupt Judge next time, like Judge Susan Thomas, who took the word of Larry Manson, with all his recent convictions for dishonesty (68 convictions apparently, Mr Manson works for the local "news"paper, the wairarapa Times-Age, where the ability to make up a story is considered a great asset to your employment prospects).

Or The Judge who heard the corruptly laid charges based on the perjurous evidence of local prostitute Rachel Betteridge who lied on oath, claiming that I had sent her offensive text messages - over 60 of them.  I never sent her a single one.  

Evidence was produced in Court that Betteridge's claims that she didn't send me any messages was an utter lie, because the phone showed no such messages from me to her, but showed instead that Betteridge and her husband Jason had sent me extremely threatening and offensive messages saying "You need a bullet" and "Watch your back" among other things.  Statements from two Justices of the Peace confirm it, but police refuse to charge them!

Police conspired with corrupt Court staff to obtain a warrant illegally, based on information they knew was false, and used the warrant to imprison me on 22nd and 23rd February 2010, to punish me for speaking to Donald Rose about a lie his wife told, well several lies actually, but the one about the door in particular, which was damaged on the attack on me on 11th February by Michael Murphy and his mates, which the police are trying to pretend didn't exist.  Jenny Rose falsely claimed in the Tenancy Tribunal that I damaged the door.

 

Better Work Stories - Glen Taplin explains everything

The latest installment of the indisputable documented evidence of the large scale tax payer funded corruption evidence in Carterton and the wider Wairarapa.  It is in the public interest to publish this evidence and in the interests of justice:

Lo and behold - the latest orchestrated litany of lies from the corrupt Wairarapa Police!

26 August 2004     

Dear Sir
    Re: Katherine Raue 

    There have been numerous items of correspondence written between Kate Raue and yourself and correspondence with the Police Complaints Authority over a number of issues that she has raised in recent times.

    I must confess that I have not given what I believe was sufficient attention to some of the matters that Kate Raue had raised with me in the past mainly I suspect because the matters appeared to be far too complex and involved and I tended not to see any relevance in some of the complaints that she was making.

    On a recent visit to me however and after spending some time looking at documentary evidence that she showed me, I largely changed my view and believe that there genuinely are matters of concern that do need to be investigated.

    I have not got to the bottom of all the matters Kate Raue complains about but there is one instance that does seem to suggest that there has been fraud at the Carterton Community Centre which has diverted funds designed for one purpose deliberately to another.

    I enclose with this letter a copy of the accounts which appear to represent income and expenditure from the Carterton Community Centre for the financial year 01 April 2000 to 31 March 2001 as they related to the Community Gardens. You will notice how in the income received, there was a sum of $9,000 received from the Tindall Foundation. It is assumed that this money was received following an application for a grant from that Charitable Foundation. The monies would have been requested and received for purposes relating to the Community Gardens in Carterton. The sum of $9,000 was received in April of 2000.

    The following month in May there was a payment of $6,000.00 paid from the Community Gardens account for a personal grievance payment. The information that apparently exists although I have not personally seen it is that there were insufficient funds to pay a personal grievance from the Community Gardens and the funding that was obtained from the Tindall Foundation was immediately paid out as at least part payment on that personal grievance. The payment apparently could not be made at an earlier stage and the fundng received from Tindall Foundation was a necessary receipt to enable the payment to be made to settle the personal grievance.

    If the above set of circumstances is accurate then there is no doubt whatsoever that there was a fraudulent use of the monies received from the Tindall Foundation. There had been no budgeted allowance made for personal grievances. This can be seen from the budget column in the expenditure part of the accounts where an amount of only $220 was allowed for the twelve months involved. A payment of $6000 was needed and this was paid directly from the charitable donation.

    I believe that the affairs of the Carterton Community Centre are in disarray. There is currently an application before the High Court to have them wound up because of insufficient numbers. There are numerous other complaints as well about the way in which members of the public including members were excluded from meetings etc. This letter does not purport to address all those issues but I am deeply concerned after having seen the information supplied to me by Kate Raue that monies received for one purpose be used for an incorrect purpose.

    I have been advised that a similar improper payment may have been made in respect of the account that was run for the disadvantaged members of the community. This apparently exists under the copy of the account also enclosed which is headed up VOSP 2000 – 2001. You will see also that there is a “miscellaneous” payment of $1,000.00 made in September of 2000 following receipt of a substantial amount fromWINZ funding. It is understood that this also was a payment to an individual who claimed to have a personal grievance.

    I am not an accountant (as will be obvious) but I believe there are sufficient genuine concerns raised here to warrant some investigation. These are community funds which were largely received from charitable donations which appear to have been siphoned off improperly.
    I should add that according to Kate Raue there was possibly legal advice given to the people running the Carterton Community Centre that they should not make personal greivance payments in the way that they did. This is another matter that may need to be looked into because it would make the payments even less appropriate if they were done contrary to legal advice.

    I appreciate the fact that earlier complaints may have been thought to be ill-founded or frivolous or for whatever reason were not properly investigated but I believe that there actually does exist hard evidence to suggest that a reopening of the investigation should be made with urgency. As I have said the Community Centre and its funds are currently subject to a High Court Application.

    If it is more convenient for you to do so I would be happy to act as a go-between between yourselves and Kate Raue so that I can request further details from her.
    Are you able to assist with what I believe is now a genuine complaint?
    Yours faithfully
    Ken Daniels

And:

There are also a number of other formal complaints regarding these matters, such as the letters to the Police and IPCA from Michael Appleby.

The only response from the Police has been a contemptuous insult to the intelligence!
