Regarding your letter of 30th October 2007:

1. Regarding the response to the two letters sent by Ken Daniels.   Your letter states that it is your understanding “the matters have been addressed in previous correspondence.”  Please provide this correspondence or specify how the matters were “addressed”.  The matters might have been addressed but they certainly haven’t been resolved, although they might have been if Sgt Reid had not left the police force.
1.1. On what date did Sgt Reid leave the force, and for what reason did he leave?
2. Regarding Rachel Betteridge.  You have claimed that (a) there is no evidence that Betteridge and her husband sent me any threatening or offensive text messages and phone calls, and (b) you claim that I haven’t tried to make a complaint, which is absolutely untrue and you know it.
2.1. Attached “A” and “B” are statements from two Justices of the Peace confirming the threatening and offensive messages to me from Betteridge and her husband.
2.2. I have previously taken this phone into the Carterton, Greytown and Masterton police stations and tried to lay a complaint.  On each occasion I have been told to go away, without the complaint being even recorded.  Other people have accompanied me and witnessed this response from the police on several occasions.  I have also written the police numerous letters constituting clear complaints and describing how upset I was, and continue to be, to receive these messages, and the continued calls from Colin Allomes, including several in breach of his bail conditions.
2.3. Your response ignores all this, and focuses on your claim that “there was no specific comments by the presiding Judge which gave cause to doubt the credibility of the witness.”  These statements from the JP’s, and the messages on the phone, certainly give cause to doubt her credibility, and also prove that she committed perjury, don’t they.  Police proceeded with a prosecution against me based on nothing more than the word of a lying prostitute.
2.4. Just like police proceeded with a long drawn out bill sticking charge based on nothing more than the word of  “the Postal Service” which was never “put to paper” while police continue to protect the identity of the “complainant”.
2.5. As the defendant in the matter after the police laid charges, I insist that you name the complainant or give a reason why you refuse to do so.
2.6. Provide me immediately with any evidence at all of any of the messages that Betteridge and the police alleged that I sent her (apart from her (lying) word for it, which do not amount to evidence any more than John Crawford’s lies do).
2.7. Police sought no evidence whatsoever from either Betteridge or Vodafone regarding any threatening or offensive messages from me.
2.8. Nowhere in all the information released by the police is there any evidence whatsoever that Betteridge even told a police officer what the alleged messages said, let alone showed the police even one message.
2.9. I repeat my request for all information regarding any communication from the police to Vodafone, such as a request from the police for any information regarding the phone calls or text messages, and all information regarding any details of the alleged text messages.
2.10. Nowhere in the whole file is there any evidence whatsoever, apart from the word of a lying prostitute.
2.11. The transcript of her evidence is an utter joke, especially when compared to the statement and evidence of the only other witness, Betteridge’s statement and evidence are nothing but an utter litany of lies.
2.12. You and Constable Cadwallader told me you were coming to take a statement from me regarding this matter and others.  You obviously lied to me, because when you came round, you only served me with the summons for ringing up Colin Allomes.
2.13. The disclosure I have received regarding the latest charges, regarding the summons you served me with, contains no statement from the complainant according to the attached Police Disclosure Receipt, attached “C”.  Was a statement taken or not, if so where is it, and if not, why not?
2.14. I have complained a number of times regarding Allomes’ breaches of bail and intimidation of me, and provided evidence of his repeated intimidation of witnesses in the same manner in the past.  Further evidence can be easily obtained because his phone is in the name of his employer, it is a business expense and the phone accounts (which they are obliged to keep for 7 years) will clearly show all the calls to me on the dates I have stated they were made.  I request police secure evidence of these calls without further delay.
2.15. I told Det Carl Newton and woman police constable “Becks” at Palmerston North that he had rung and threatened to kill me while I was driving to the police station on the night of the assault on 27 April 2007.
2.16. The most recent call was 15 February 2008
2.17. I request again that he be charged with making the threatening calls in breach of his bail, as well as the threatening and offensive calls made both before and after the term of his bail, including the most recent call received last month, which was threatening and intimidating, and intended to frighten me into not giving evidence.  I request police immediately obtain the telephone records from his employer, and from Telecom, which show the evidence of the calls.
2.18. I request any information at all that police made any attempts whatsoever to obtain any information from Telecom regarding these seriously threatening calls, I certainly complained, and nothing whatsoever was done about it, except to recently charge me with ringing him up a year ago.
2.19. I request any information whatsoever regarding any attempts by police to obtain any information from Vodafone regarding the seriously threatening text messages which I told Constable Cunningham and other police officers I had received from Rachel Betteridge and her husband.  I request evidence of any request made by police to Vodafone regarding Betteridge’s complaint or mine.
2.20. I request this be considered a formal complaint regarding the manner in which the police have dealt with this complaint and the amount of tax payers money wasted taking the matter to Court in the first place.
2.21. I request an apology.  I have evidence which has been presented to the police.  The ‘Postal Service’ had no evidence, Betteridge had no evidence.  Police have clearly used their discretion with prejudice.
3. A prima facie case exists, Mr McPhee boasted of what he did in the newspaper, home invasion is a serious crime, so is assault, much more serious than billsticking or ringing up Colin Allomes is, and he should be charged accordingly.
3.1. I witnessed the violent home invasion and went to the Carterton Police Station to make a complaint.  Harvey Pope told me to piss off and mind my own business.
3.2. Did Constable Pope bother to record in his notebook that a person had come in to report witnessing a home invasion and assault?
3.3. I then wrote a written statement and delivered it to the police station.
3.4. At least one other person also wrote a statement and it was also delivered to the police, and when no charges were laid a copy of the statement was delivered to the Wairarapa Times Age.
4. There seems to be an entrenched and endemic problem with the local police refusing to take note of any evidence that doesn’t suit them, and it seems hardly surprising when the Area Commander no less, not to mention the Prime Minister, ignores evidence such as that given by Mr and Mrs Kennedy regarding the attack on me by Georgina Beyer.
4.1. The local police seem to regularly exercise their discretion with bias and prejudice.
4.2. I complained that ‘Ms’ Beyer had stood up, leaned in my direction, pointed at me with forceful stabbing motions, and shouted abuse and threats at me.  This was confirmed by written statements from at least six witnesses, including the Kennedy’s, who were impartial, having never previously met me or heard of me.
4.3. I repeat my request that Georgina Beyer be charged with assault. Her behaviour was exactly the same as that Ms Betteridge untruthfully complained of.
5. Regarding the bill sticking.
5.1. I went into the police station to lay a complaint that the lock of the Post Office box belonging to the former Carterton Community Centre Inc had been changed by the manager at NZ Post without authorisation to do so from the Centre.
5.2. I was told by police I would have to provide evidence that I was authorised to access the box, and authorised to make the complaint.
5.3. I went back to the police station the following day with several documents and the original Minutes Book of the Carterton Community Centre.
5.4. I also reminded police that I held the keys to the box and was the only person entitled to do so at that time.  Sgt Reid’s letter confirms that I held the keys legally.
5.5. The complaints of Wollerman Cooke & McClure, and the ‘group’ that firm claimed to represent were not upheld in any way by any of the organisations they complained to.
5.6. I was told that police would “look into it.”
5.7. I also complained to New Zealand Post about the matter.
5.8. I was the Secretary and Treasurer of the former Carterton Community Centre and legally authorised to access the box.
5.9. I lawfully held the keys for the box.
5.10. A complaint was made to the police by a group of persons who falsely claimed to represent the Community Centre, that I had stolen property belonging to the Centre, including the keys to the buildings and the post box used by the Centre.
5.11. The letter from Sgt Reid shows that police clearly established that I had the legal right, as Secretary and Finance Officer, to possession of the property, just as I had the legal right to access the post box, and the mail therein.  This letter clearly shows that the Police rejected this complaint.
5.12. The letter from Sgt Reid refers to the fact that the complaint of theft against me was made to the police by Wollerman, Cooke and McClure.
5.13. Sgt Reid took some time to look at the evidence and made the right decision.
5.14. Wollerman, Cooke and McClure refused to take instruction from the legal members of the Society or the legally elected Executive Officers. The firm chose to take instruction from the group of people who took over the Centre illegally after the Chairman of the Committee, Tony Feinson, punched me in the face and broke two of my teeth in the office of the Centre, despite being advised by the police that I was legally entitled to represent the Centre.
5.15. I understand that the manager of the Carterton branch of the NZ post is married to a woman who works for Wollerman, Cooke and McClure, please confirm this.
5.16. The complaint to the police by Wollerman Cooke & McClure was knowingly false.
5.17. Evidence of this is a report by CYFS regarding a complaint to them regarding funding, the invalidity of the contract between CYFS and the Carterton Community Centre, and allegations of fraud, corruption, and violence at the Centre.
5.18. This report shows that the ‘group’ who took over the Centre illegally told the investigator that they did not know anything about any missing property in an attempt to conceal the decision of the police regarding who had the legal right to represent the Community Centre and hold the records of the Society, and convince the investigator that all was well at the Centre.  This can be confirmed by CYPS or the ‘group.’

You attended a meeting at the Centre at which members were locked out.  You said you would come to my home to look at the evidence and take a complaint regarding the illegal activities of the group who took over the Centre.  You never did so, just like you did not take the complaints as you recently promised you would do, with Constable Cadwallader, again.

Constable Cadwallader has time to run Chris Webb’s drunken customers home from the Lounge Bar, and help Larry Manson move house, and you obviously have lots of time to write deceitful letters, letters full of deceit.

I request all information held by the New Zealand Police regarding the current charges, or including written information, audio recordings, and all information specified in the attached letter from Ken Daniels to the Police.

I went to the police station and made formal complaints about Gary McPhee’s home invasion, Georgina Beyer’s assault, threatening and offensive text messages and phone calls from Rachel Betteridge, Jason Betteridge and Colin Allomes, and the theft of the property of the Carterton Community Centre and all the organisations under the control of the Centre, I have also requested police take statements from myself and another witness regarding a theft of $500 involving a suspect who lied to police and said she had received a phone call from the witness and I when she had not.  Nothing was done about searching phone records or even requesting any information at all regarding that theft, why not?

I look forward to your urgent response.


Kate Raue. STATEMENT:

I am writing to Sgt Glenn Taplin about threatening and offensive phone calls and text messages which I received in January and February 2006.

I received two long phone calls from Rachel Betteridge of Vivian St, Masterton on about January 21st 2006.  The calls were on different days.

During these calls Rachel Betteridge said a number of things that offended me.

On 12 February 2006 I received a considerable number of text messages from Rachel Betteridge and her husband Jason Betteridge, most of which were threatening and/or offensive.

Attached are statements from two Justices of the Peace confirming transcripts of the messages which are still stored on the phone, and there is another transcript which has already been provided to the police by both Ken Daniels and myself previously, which includes more messages.  I had to delete some of the earlier messages in order to free up memory space to receive the later messages, but I transcribed them before doing so.

I did not initiate communication with Rachel Betteridge on any of these occasions.

I swear that this is true.

Katherine Jane Raue


2. “Please provide this in formation without further delay, and all information regarding the complaint of theft regarding the caravan.”

As above, there is no correspondence or documentation held by Police on the theft of the caravan. Senior Sergeant Johnston advises that this matter was dealt with at the time on the telephone. Your request for this information is refused pursuant to section 29(2)(b) of the Privacy Act 1993 as the information does not exist.

Attached to your letter was another letter dated 20 March 2008 addressed to Sergeant Glenn Taplin. In your letter you request:

1. “Please provide this correspondence or specify how the matters were addressed.”

Sergeant Taplin addressed these matters to which you refer to in your letter, in his letter to you dated 30 October 2007. Sergeant Taplin states:

“it is my understanding that these matters have been addressed in previous correspondence between Mr Daniels and Police or the Police Complaints Authority and yourself and I do not intend to re visit those matters.”

It is my understanding that this matter is closed. If you require further information, please advise Police of the exact information you require in relation to Mr Daniels’ letters dated August 2004 and April 2006.

2. “Provide me immediately with any evidence at all of any of the messages that Betteridge and the police alleged that I sent to her.”

Police are currently trying to locate this information and I will contact you if any information can be located.

3. “I repeat my request for all information regarding any communication from the Police to Vodafone, such as a request from the Police for any information regarding the phone calls or text messages, and all information regarding any details of the alleged text messages.”

Your request for this information is refused pursuant to section 29(2)(b) of the Privacy Act 1993 as the information does not exist.

I note that in your letter to the Masterton Police Prosecutor on 10 October 2007, you advise that “Vodafone wrote to me to and confirmed that they have never received any inquiry form the Police at all regarding this matter.” It is therefore unclear to Police what further information you are seeking.

- So Police admit that they proceeded with a prosecution against me but they never ever had any information to support the prosecution at all, and then when asked by me and my lawyer, Michael Appleby, to obtain the evidence from Vodafone they refused, because they knew it would show that I was the victim in the matter, not the offender, and that Betteridge and her husband should have been charged, not me.

So, if there was nothing put to paper, what's this?

These allegations are lies, which is why the police ignored them.  The illegal "group" then wrote this letter to Oasis Trust:  

- Oasis responded with THIS:

Hooker eventually paid Crawford the Creep $300 to shut up about the caravan.  Evidence of this is available if anyone wants to see it, it's on this site.

Kiwileaks Exclusive: Privacy Commissioner, Corrupt or Incompetent?

This is the arrogant and dismissive response from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in response to the issue of the South End School.  Faithful followers of Transparency in New Zealand will recall that I received a letter from the Board of Trustees of the South End School in Carterton in sacking me from my job because, according to the letter, the Board was distressed to have received information that I had been recently charged by the Police for an offence involving a child.

This was despite an earlier visit from the Deputy Principal, to ask me if the allegation was true, because she had been so shocked to discover that the Board was proposing to send me the letter.  Of course, I told her in no uncertain terms that this was utter rubbish, and that I had never in my life been charged with any such offence, never mind recently!  I was therefore very surprised indeed to receive the letter some 6 weeks later saying: "The Board of Trustees were distressed to hear of you recently being charged by the police.  The vetting policy at the school is designed to reduce risk to the children at South End School.  Whereas your previous Court incidents did not have this risk the present one involves a child.  This does present a risk and therefore a problem for the Board.  With this charge over you the Board of Trustees requests that you stop your work in the school gardens.  Should you be found guilty of the charge the Board could not permit you to resume your work on the school garden.  As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty of the charge as this would remove our problem.  We appreciate the work and enthusiasm you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future." - what hypocrisy and lies!

Of course I immediately rang the school and made an appointment to see the Principal, Rod O'Leary, who I had previously had a very good relationship with through my job at the school teaching gardening and running the school gardens, which I was solely responsible for creating and developing.  The school gardening program I introduced was wildly successful.  It brought out all the best qualities in the kids, and they learned so much, because gardening is a holistic sort of process, and it teaches kids to look at life holistically, it teaches commitment, planning, risk management and all sorts of interesting things as well as growing food, a very basic but essential life saving skill, especially in these economic times.

We met and I told him that the allegation in the letter was untrue.  I requested all information the school held about me, and in particular all information regarding the letter sacking me because of the false and extremely offensive allegation.  The meeting was pleasant, but I was clear about how I felt about receiving the letter from the Board, after I'd made it perfectly clear to the Deputy Principal that the allegation was untrue when she had put it to me 6 weeks earlier.  I asked for a meeting between myself and the Board as soon as possible.  This request, and all other requests for a meeting with the Board were refused, as was the request for information.

I wrote a considerable number of letters to various individuals and organisations, all of which concentrated more on explaining to me that it wasn't really an issue they wanted to deal with for one excuse or another.  This letter from the Privacy Commissioner's Office is a good example.  The Principal provided one or two documents to me and told the Privacy Commissioner that was all the information.  I asked for the minutes of the Board meeting where it was decided to send me the letter, and the notes of the staff representative, which the Deputy Principal had told me she had sighted, documenting that the Police had given the Board the erroneous and slanderous information, along with other false, slanderous and defamatory information.  This would be in accordance with their announced policy of sharing gossip with anyone who's interested:  (Click on these images to enlarge, or open them with Paint program.)

The principal lied to the Privacy Commissioner, repeatedly stating that no other information existed, well after he, and the Board of Trustees, had received a number of complaints from parents.  When confronted with the evidence, in the form of a copy of one of the letters of complaint, he was forced to accept its existence, grudgingly.

Contrast this with the article in the Dominion Post October 2008 which boasts how police blatantly flout the privacy laws, giving free access to basically any idiot on the committee of any little community organisation.

The people in charge of the community organisations in the Wairarapa are mainly corrupt and incompetent (a notable exception being Ken English of the Heart Foundation, and I wish him all the best in his retirement, he deserves it and we'll all miss him a lot).  This article quotes Lyn Buckley of Women's Refuge, Masterton, who told me her organisation wouldn't be assisting me in any way when I asked if they could assist with urgent accommodation and assistance after the recent assaults at what's now Gallon Road.  There's no shortage of greedy, incompetent, unscrupulous and outright corrupt people running so-called 'community organisations' round here (and elsewhere I suspect).

I had also written to the Privacy Commissioner about the refusal of the Police to provide an audio recording of the call to 111 emergency services from Clair Cook and Kelly Wilson regarding the attack on me in my home by Michael Francis Murphy of 18 Wyndham St Carterton on 11th February 2009, and the letter from the manager of the Police Communications Centre, Inspector Wayne Ewers, in which he states the reason for the refusal: "according to the Privacy Act you are not entitled to any information that is created by other people." - what rubbish!  Rubbish which the Privacy Commissioner and the Police have refused to acknowledge.  The newsclipping file has deteriorated (Bob told me about jpeg files), readers might like to try and get a copy from the offices of the Dominion Post, it was on the front page in October 2008, next to an equally large photo of a female police officer breastfeeding her baby instead of doing what she's paid to do, exposing way more breast that Christine Rankin.

My complaint, which is referred to insultingly in the Certificate of Investigation issued by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (at my request in order to progress the matter through the proper channels, the Human Rights Review Tribunal and the Ombudsman), is that (inter alia) the Principal of the South End School, Rod O'Leary, is lying to the investigator and everyone else, in saying that I told him I had recently been charged by Police with an offence involving a child.  He knows perfectly well I didn't and no person in their right mind would believe that!  I don't make things up, he does, and he made up this lie deliberately in order to get rid of me, in conspiracy with members of the Board of Trustees, because after I had slaved away to build beautiful gardens at the school from nothing, and investing a huge amount of time and resources in to the gardens, and hundreds of dollars of equipment, with no help whatsoever from the Board or other staff, the school finally managed to get funding for gardens, and wanted to get their hands on it unhindered by me.

I told the Privacy Commissioner's investigator, Diane Swan, that Deputy Principal Dallas Powell had told me that she had seen the notes of the meeting, that they were clearly about me, and that she would verify that I told her the exact opposite of what O'Leary claimed.  I also asked for any evidence whatsoever of O'Leary's claim, such as notes, incident reports, anything whatsoever, and asked her to contact Deputy Principal Dallas Powell and ask her directly, and obtain a statement from her about the matter.

Swan rudely refused, like Mike Flahive, who signed this rude letter - how much taxpayer's money was wasted - or pocketed by him and Diane Swan - over this little racket?!  I DID NOT TELL O'LEARY ANY SUCH THING HE IS A CORRUPT LIAR WHO HAS PROFITED CONSIDERABLY FROM THIS CORRUPT CONSPIRACY.

Then a few things happened.  Deputy Principal Dallas Powell left the school abruptly.  I was issued with a trespass notice, preventing me accessing my tools and equipment at the school.  When I was hailed by the school's bullying and lazy groundsman one day I responded by stopping and asking him to move our property from his locked shed on the grounds to the gate so that I could remove it from the site, and when he said it was not going to be returned, I called him a thieving crook, and the Principal, who he was speaking with at the time, and was charged by the police with using insulting language.  All three prosecution witnesses failed to turn up to the hearing, wasting considerable Court time, Police time, and public resources, after numerous preliminary Court fixtures.

Court Summary of Facts, written by corrupt Constable Harvey Pope states: "In 2009 the defendant RAUE was Trespassed from the grounds of CARTERTON South end School (sic).  She was at the time a volunteer at the school and involved with the school's vegetable gardens.  During this involvement her bad behaviour in front of the pupils caused the schools' teachers and board members to become concerned.  Efforts to sever ties with RAUE turned hostile."  The document alleges that I was cycling past, stopped and shouted "abuse" at the "Principle and grounds man" (sic).  A very serious crime in Carterton apparently.

Efforts to sever ties - like sending me a letter accusing me of child abuse and a trespass notice effectively stealing my property - certainly did turn hostile in the face of the obvious lies and corruption.  There was no "bad behaviour" because if there had there would undoubtably be some record of it, such as a single incident report, a note, there's nothing at all, and there is considerable evidence from witnesses that this is an utter lie.

What a waste of taxpayers money this all is.  Are people too stupid to see it, or what?

Pet Therapy - the Community Garden Horses:

These are two of the horses belonging to the Friends of the Carterton Community Gardens.  The appaloosa horse in the photo on the left is Flynn, and the skewbald one standing behind him on the right is Brutus.  These horses, and Flynn in particular, have given countless hours of fun to local children, and taught them valuable lessons about trust, communication, fairness, friendship and all sorts of other things.  Flynn and Brutus have been friends, brothers, for over twenty years.  Lily and Flynn were both five in the photo on the left, Flynn was given to me for nothing because he was so "difficult", but he was always just lovely with children, really kind.  Kids always loved him, and he wasn't really so difficult, you just have to be patient with him.  Brutus always looked after him, there he is, always right behind him.

Kids don't have to be disabled to benefit from pet therapy, it's a great thing and all community gardens should have a few horses like these.

Carterton District Council animal control officers Murray Clark and Karen Higham saw fit to impound Flynn last weekend, with the help of George Smith, who provided a temporary "pound" and put up a trespass notice.  Then they took him all the way to Clareville, and kept him there for a week without his warm cover.  This was completely and utterly unnecessary, and caused a lot of unnecessary suffering and stress to poor old Flynn, who's done nothing but provide a community service to the kids of this town since he's been here - to kids in lots of towns ever since I was given him over twenty years ago, actually.   

The Carterton District Council have gone out of their way to shut down the Community Gardens, refuse us funding, and steal our assets, our sheds can be viewed on the property of Council employee Melvin Pike, great mate of local bullying Mayor Gary McPhee, who boasts about all the perks of the job he and his mates manage to lay their hands on quite regularly.

So Melvin Pike gets a free shed, that we worked for and we paid for, while poor old Flynn's got no shed to put his hay in, the kids at the Community Gardens have got no sheds to put their tools in any more - aren't you ashamed of yourself Melvin? - that's outright theft.  Theft from poor people, working for the community, how utterly despicable.

Council staff have been making up the rules in order to shut down any grazing options for Flynn and his mates Brutus and Paddy, telling kind people who offer grazing that stock has to be tethered (rubbish), that I am a criminal and a trouble maker (rubbish), etc.

A woman who works at the Council recently had a go at me in Belvedere Rd for having the horse in an area where she wanted to run her dog off the lead, and a complaint was made to the police regarding the actions of Sean Crawford regarding another incident involving Crawford speeding past the horses with loose "sculptures" rattling round on the back of his truck.

Council staff and local SPCA "officers" stole a horse from a paddock in Dalefield Road last year at the insistence of a Council worker's wife, who wanted the horse herself, and her friend who told me about it.

They took poor old Flynn all the way to Clareville last Sunday, refused to return messages for several days, then sent a ransom letter telling me that there was over a hundred dollars owing to the Council - who also stole my $400 election nomination deposit after the last election.   Julie Hallam thought she'd won that one, but it was a bit of a hollow victory, given where Julie Hallam is now.  Poetic justice indeed.  With a bit of luck, Karen Higham and Murray Clark will be next, for what they did to Flynn, and the children who enjoy him.

The ransom letter said that Flynn would be sold or "otherwise disposed of" in 7 days.  I am on an invalid benefit after being sacked from two local schools because of lies spread by corrupt local police.  I haven't got over a hundred dollars to pay the Council to get Flynn back.

I've never lived in a community like this in my life, shame on these people.  I've lived in great communities like Wellington, Te Awanga, Waimarama, Poukawa, Maraekakaho, and others, where people help and support each other, caring communities.  There's no unity in this community.

Flynn was in George Smith's paddock, with a trespass notice on the gate, when I went found him on Sunday morning.  George's partner is on the Board of Trustees of the South End School.  I haven't got over a hundred dollars to pay the thieving Council to get Flynn back because I was sacked from the South End School because of a malicious false allegation spread by corrupt local police that I have recently been charged with child abuse.  I have NEVER been charged with any such thing.

I contacted George's partner, and said that I was very depressed about this situation, I asked her to pass on, and endorse, a request for a meeting between myself and the Board of Trustees of the South End School of which she is a member, because I have not been charged with the offence I was allegedly sacked for, and the Principal is lying to the police and the Privacy Commissioner.  I reminded her that Flynn had given her kids rides for nothing in the past and that this situation is very unfair.

Unbelievably, she ignored everything I said, then came to the home of some friends who I was visiting, to inform me that she was so concerned about me being depressed that she had contacted the police and the mental health unit!  But not the Board of Trustees, who had actually caused and continued to cause the depression, and the Principal and groundsman, who continued to cause it.

Goodness knows what on earth she thinks they will do about me being depressed, but I'll tell you what they did last time some do gooder rang them because I started talking about the rate of suicide in the Wairarapa - twice the national average for several years in a country with the highest rates in the world - the corrupt local police smashed in my back door - totally unnecessarily - it was just an excuse for their Gestapo like violence - then they locked me in a cell at the Masterton Police Station for over six hours.  After which I felt much more depressed.

Thanks for that Emily, I would like a meeting with the Board of Trustees please.
Being on the Board isn't about going on courses, it's about common sense and telling the truth, and acknowledging indisputable evidence.  Ignorance comes from ignoring things.

Rod O'Leary is lying to the Privacy Commission investigator, and others are condoning this:

1. The only meeting between O'Leary and I on the matter was AFTER I received the letter from the Board, NOT before as O'Leary alleges, he is deliberately lying.
2. Deputy Principal Dallas Powell told me she had seen notes made by the staff representative on the Board of Trustees about the allegation against me
3. that the notes recorded the decision of the Board to write the letter, in early 2009.
4. Dallas told me she had spoken to the staff rep about the written notes, and that the rep had confirmed that the meeting had been told that I had been charged with child abuse and was not a fit person to work at the school, and the decision had been made to write the letter on the basis of the false allegation.

I would like a meeting with the Board of Trustees please, as I've been asking since I got the slanderous letter.

Police breach Privacy Act and slander innocent Community Worker

On the left is a copy of an article which appeared on the front page of the Dominion in August 2008 describing the arrogance with which the local police flout the very laws they are paid to enforce, by 'sharing information' with all the unprofessional people running the local 'community organisations'. on the right is a letter to me from the Board of Trustees of the South End School in Carterton, which says:

"The Board of Trustees were distressed to hear of you recently being charged by the police. Whereas your previous court incidents did not have any risk the present one involves a child. This does present a risk and therefore a problem for the Board.

With this charge over you the Board requests that you stop your work in the school gardens.

Should you be found guilty of the charge the Board could not permit you to resume your work in the school garden.

As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

As I've told everyone from the moment I heard of this preposterous allegation, there never WERE an charges involving a child, and I have been acquitted of any other charges which were not withdrawn. Rod O'Leary never turned up for Court and should be charged with wasting police time and making a false complaint. He didn't turn up because if he had repeated what he said in his complaint under oath he would be guilty of perjury as he well knows.

I was wrongfully sacked from my job as Boarding Matron at St Matthews College in Masterton too after the police rang the principal twice to complain about "Mrs Raue's behaviour and manner in dealing with matters in the community", referring to publicity in the newspaper about the petition I started, calling for an inquiry into the allegations regarding the illegal takeover, mismangement and closure of the former Carterton Community Centre, and calling for the affairs of the Centre to be investigated and audited by a lawyer and an accountant. There is nothing wrong with that. The principal of St Matthews made notes of these conversations, they will be uploaded shortly, and the records which the Ombudsmen ordered the school to release showed that there were NO complaints from anyone else, or matters of concern even. Police refused to charge anyone regarding the blatant fraud and other offences, home invasions, etc, but they were worrying about a petition calling for an inquiry into the Carterton Community Centre - why? Because local 'artist' Jo Roffe was creaming wages of over six hundred dollars a week through the Centre, using it as the 'funding umbrella', for her part time disaster of a craft course for at risk youth, and having it off with Constable Steve Wakefield, who was and still is famous for his sleazy corrupt behaviour, taking advantage of vulnerable women. His son, Constable Mike Wakefield is not much better, just as corrupt but maybe not so sleazy. They used to write letters in support of her funding applications ;)

Shortly before the takeover of the Carterton Community Centre, in October 2000, the committee of the Carterton Community Centre, who were nearly all associated with the Carterton District Council - major funder of the centre - conflicts of interest all over the place - attempted to close the Community Gardens, because they had committed the fraud involving the fake 'personal grievance' - which I can talk about with impunity because it never went anywhere near the Employment Tribunal, the committee just decided to gift one of their mates eleven thousand dollars, which they stole and defrauded from the bank accounts of several other organisations that they had access to and signing authority on, and then they could'nt get any more funding because we wrote to the funders and showed them the indisputable evidence.

Mainstream media reported on whether Solitaire Robertson was Adrienne Staples illegitimate daughter, deeming that to be in the public interest, but they won't investigate whether Mrs Staples is related to Helen Staples the recipient of this fraudulent payment.

A friend and I formed an organisation called Friends of the Carterton Community Gardens and proposed to the committee that our organisation take over the Community Gardens and run them voluntarily. This was refused, but after publicity in the local newspaper, the committee gifted the Gardens, and “everything on the site” to Oasis 'Trust', a Masterton based church, apparently founded and run by local cult leader, Masterton District Councillor and ex policeman Jonathon Hooker.

Oasis made it clear from the start that they didn't want anything to do with our Gardens, and their own Gardens consisted solely of a small plot at Jonathon Hookers house and another small plot at the home of Oasis's administration manager, gardens which certainly did not benefit the community, they benefited the Hooker family (any "community garden" should have been on the land his trust owned in Lincoln Rd, where the poor people could access it!. They promised to apply for funding and “act as an umbrella for funding purposes” if our organisation did all the work at the Gardens.

So Friends of the Gardens took over the running of the Gardens, with great success. For the next few years we worked hard to develp the site, an old rubbish dump, which had been condemned by the Council years earlier as unfit for use due to the state of the section. We weeded and dug, planted seeds and cuttings and grew heaps of vegetables which we provided to people in need, we also assisted many local people to complete Court ordered community work sentences, and used this opportunity to interact construtively with those people and assist them into jobs, drug treatment programs, and generally improve their lives and improve their relationships with the community. We achieved enormous success in the area of attitude adjustment, gardening does that, it strengthens families, keeps people busy, and improves their self esteem. We helped people realise that they actually liked working. There were apple trees, grape vines, a lemon tree, a feijoa tree, and plum trees, including one that had the biggest reddest most delicious plums imaginable.

We helped people establish gardens at their own homes, and provided ongoing support, after they finished their community hours. We've been doing this ever since, and the benefits to the community cannot be overstated. Attitude adjustment results in a new outlook, new view of life, new goals, new habits. Give me the boy till he's seven and I'll give you the man the Jesuits say, well give us the wounded, the scarred, the wayward, and in 40 hours or so we'll give you a way better person. Give us the children during the holidays and we'll give you better young people when they go back to school.

In about 2006 the Council drove a digger through all our vegetables and smashed a row of new fruit trees we'd planted and changed the lock on the gate later granting grazing rights -for free - to one of their mates, the brother of the Council officer who accompanied disgraced ex Mayor Gary McPhee on his drunken home invasion, he put sheep in and the Council cut down all the fruit trees, the grape vine, ripped out all our edible plants and replaced our garden with a bleak, unimaginative, uninviting "Passive recreation reserve" - nobody goes there, it's horrible.

We simply continued the Gardens at the property I rented up the road, a farm house owned by Mr Tubby Rose, bless his soul. Friends of the Gardens are indebted to Mr Rose and his family for their kindness and support over many years. They made it possible for us to raise chickens and keep horses, hawks, fish, and other animals, and grow a reasonable quantity of fruit and vegetables, which we used to achieve great results with troubled young people in particular, and to teach relationship skills, trust, courage, risk management and many other useful skills, as well as continue our conventional work in the Gardens. Mr Rose had put goldfish in the cattle trough years ago and visitors to the Gardens used to greatly enjoy feeding the fishes and the hawk and chickens and other animals, especially children. Older people used to also enjoy coming to the community garden at Rose Farm. We taught cooking and preserving, quality, marketable arts and crafts, music (if neighbours in town complained about students of the drums they used to bring their drums out to the farm where we didn't have neighbours), and all sorts of other things, useful life skills, work skills.

Sadly Mr Rose passed away peacefully on the morning of Christmas Eve 2000, in his 90th year, and the farm was eventually sold.

Friends of the Gardens then approached the principal of South End School, Mr Rod O'Leary, and asked if we could establish and develop a Garden at the school with the children. Mr O'Leary was very supportive, and for over twelve months I worked hard to develop a vegetable garden with the children, adjacent to the swimming pool. We also weeded and planted the beds outside the school gates, and around the office block and planted many fruit trees. We liaised with two teachers in particular and worked with a group of children on Wednesday afternoons in the gardens. The sessions were really popular with the children, who worked hard to plant and grow a variety of vegetables, a peach orchard, etc, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Suddenly, I received the attached letter from Mr Gavin Kennedy on behalf of the Board of Trustees.

I was shocked and distressed to put it mildly, because I'd received a visit from the Deputy Principal a few weeks beforehand to tell me that the police had informed the Board of Trustees of this allegation and that I would be receiving the letter, at which point - PRIOR to actually receiving the letter(!) - I immediately told her I had definitely never ever been charged with any such offence, and expected that to be the first and last thing I would ever hear about the ridiculous allegation - especially after I'd made it perfectly clear to the Deputy Principal, Dallas Powell, that I had never been charged with any such thing in my life, let alone recently.

Immediately after receiving the letter I met with the principal to discuss the matter and inform him that I certainly had not been charged with any such offence involving a child, either recently, or ever for that matter. The meeting was perfectly pleasant and civil because I had always had a very good relationship with all the staff at the school, including Mr O'Leary, as typified by the social call from Dallas Powell to discuss her concerns about the actions of the police and the Board in the first place - she couldn't believe it any more than I could.

I asked for an immediate meeting with the Board of Trustees to discuss the matter, and copies of all information regarding the matter, particularly the source of the false allegation. The Board has continued to refuse to communicate with me at all regarding this matter, but has since made matters much worse.

At one stage a Statutory Manager was appointed, he didn't meet with me either, because I was accused of being delusional for allegedly imagining that Rod O'Leary's new car was somehow a payoff for corruption - according to 'Dr' Brenda Sally Rimkeit. There is a clear link between these events and a violent attack on me in my home on 11 February 2009 by Michael Francis Murphy and another person. Evidence such as text messages, the Mayoral Diary, police documents, witness statements, it all stacks up into a mountain of evidence that there HAS been corruption, which is ongoing and worsening, but that it had very little if anything to do with Rod O'Leary's car. If anyone is delusional it is whoever made up the allegation that I had been recently charged by the police with an offence involving a child! And Constable Peter Cletus Cunningham, who has written an Offence Report regarding the attack which is an orchestrated litany of fabrication and fiction, waffling on for the first five pages about what some woman was cooking for tea and some soap opera script of some conversation that didn't happen at some completely different address, then goes on about some 'incident' - non specified, ALLEGED 'incident', at the supermarket - which also didn't happen. because I requested the camera footage like I did the time Murphy threatened and abused me in front of a local real estate agent in there on another occasion and it was subsequently deleted and the request refused.

Unfortunately, the matter of the South End School has still not been resolved, and it needs sorting out because we can't put up with bullying in schools and especially not bullies running schools.

The letter sent to me clearly states: "

As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

This is the remedy I seek.

It is required to make up in some small way for the damage done to my reputation, humiliation and hurt, loss of standing in the community, disapproval and censure of others in the community - there's nothing worse that being charged with child abuse round here, we've got a very big problem with it involving the police, the IPCA, and the government.

There is no evidence whatsoever to support any allegations of any alleged 'incidents' at all, according to the information released under the Privacy Act, the school has admitted it.

The allegations of Rod O'Leary that I called him a thieving crook, amounted to wasting police time, which is why he didn't turn up to Court, because I was waiting for him with a Summons! The charge brought by Rod O'Leary was dismissed, there never was any "charge involving a child", I've been acquitted of 99% of the charges brought against me by local police since 2004 (Bill Sticking, for advertising a public meeting to discuss the takeover and closure of the Carterton Community Centre and the lawyers letters about the fraud, the evidence of it, etc, a civil matter and nothing to do with police), and I had virtually nothing to do with police prior to suffering the misfortune of coming to Carterton, the Crown failed to front up with any evidence, and wrote an equally fanciful work of fiction to try and explain it away - an absolutely laughable attempt if it wasn't for the fact that it is tax payer funded corruption, and we've got bullies and liars running schools and teaching kids, and setting that kind of example.

In Wairarapa we regularly have double the national rate of suicide, this is a country with some of the highest rates in the world, and this is why. We need those gardens, our communities need them, our children need them. Our staff are properly trained and work with reputable community organisations, with tangible and visible results, to achieve our mutual goals and help children and others in the community reach their full potential through our community gardens and school gardens.

A witness and went to the garden I established at the school and found it in a state of abandonment, as it was all throughout the school holidays, nobody attended it, or harvested what pitiful specimens the birds didn't get. The compost bin clearly had not been used, like other donated equipment like the water tanks and related equipment as confirmed by an email from Ms Powell, we compared the photos of the gardens prior to me receiving the letter with the current state of affairs, and the other information released by order of the Ombudsmen relating to the recent funding granted to the school, which has clearly been wasted and misappropriated, because the evidence speaks for itself!

The Board of Trustees of the South End School needs to honour their letter to me:

"As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

This makes a mockery of the claim that "Raue's manner caused concern among some staff and attempts to sever ties with her were made" or whatever Rod O'Leary's statement said - which confirms that his statement to police was an attempt to pervert the course of justice. He knows this perfectly well, his girlfriend is a lawyer. which has perhaps got something to do with his three recent heart attacks and his sudden retirement. He knows perfectly well I never told him I'd been charged with an offence involving a child or anything like it - he knows perfectly well that the story was cooked up at one of these little "information sharing sessions" the Area Commander boasts about! This is nothing more than a witch hunt and it has to stop!

Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there, it get's worse. There is the matter of the school secretary, who had to apologise to a young student for saying to her "you're just a lying little bitch".

Then there is the matter of the letters to and from the groundsman, very similar to the letter sent to me. This man is also the ex manager of the community gardens, and a decent and honourable person. The letter was given to a friend of mine by her son, who had been given it at school - a total breach of the poor man's privacy and of the Privacy Act! The man feels he, like me, was unjustifiably dismissed and humiliated and generally treated appallingly by the Board and staff of the South End School!

That was bad enough, but it get's even worse: I delivered the letters to the groundsman, and told him of the breach of privacy, and an apology was requested from the school, whereupon Emily Brown of the Board of Trustees took it upon herself to make a visit to the home of a friend of mine while I was visiting there and launch a verbal attack on me in front of my friend. I had asked Emily to please convey to the Board my request for a meeting as requested in my letter to them which had been ignored like the previous requests, but instead of responding to the requests she launched into a nasty verbal attack on me in front of my friend, accusing me of being a thief who had stolen the letters about the groundsman out of her letterbox (delusional and in denial - I told the school how I came by them and the witness will confirm it - the school simply needs to face up to it). Emily Brown then, after falsely accusing me of being a thief, said she had called the police and the mental health service about me. I asked her why she had done that, she had no explanation, and it seemed to me that she was the one in need of their assistance, not me. I don't steal things out of letterboxes (or anywhere else) and I'm not delusional, or in any way defective mentally, as has been recently confirmed by experts in the field.

Emily's mother committed suicide some time ago and her brother did the same more recently, she left her husband recently after having an affair with her husbands friend and the coach of her son's soccer team, the break up was messy and involved the police and violence, and she is not a fit and proper person to be on the Board on the basis of her behaviour at my friend's house alone! She went on and on, right in front of my friend, with all this rubbish. The police confirm that she made this false complaint to them in spite of me offering to disclose the name of the witness to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees! The police wisely ignored it, but unwisely, and corruptly, conspired to have me locked up for a while during their failed attempt to corruptly prosecute me for perverting the course of justice, etc, which the corrupt psychiatrist tried to justify with some ridiculous fairy story about the Principal of the South End School. The evidence of the conspiracy is totally indisputable which is why expert psychiatrists stated that I was "not suffering from any mental illness whatsoever and in particular, not suffering from the onset of paranoid delusions."

As a great kiwi icon once said, "It's the putting right that counts." The Board of Trustees needs to put this right and admit that the allegations made about me are without basis and honour the letter they sent me. And that's just the start of the putting right that needs to be done.
