Nicholas Taiaroa Stevens - Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.



Nicholas Taiaroa Stevens was found this morning.

Hamilton Police finally announced yesterday that he was missing, earlier today his father issued a desperate plea for information and assistance with the search for Nicholas.

The volunteers who run the Hamilton Homeless Trust pointed out that Nicky wasn't homeless, but he was greatly loved by all who knew him, they've been raising awareness that he's missing for days on social media etc, and asking for information.

This message is shared from Nicky's dad - Dave Macpherson -  with great sadness.
"Sadly, we have to tell you that our youngest son Nicholas (Nicky) has passed away.
He was found dead in the Waikato River this morning.

We have just seen him, and he looks very peaceful. He had some tortured times recently, but one consolation is that these are now over for him.

We want to thank the many, many people – family, friends, old schoolmates and others that have reached out to us in the last couple of days with messages of support and hope – Nick had a LOT of friends who wanted him to stay with us and to be well; sadly that won’t be the case, but we know he will be missed.
We want to also say that Nicky’s death was preventable on this occasion, and when we have had time to grieve as a family, we will be taking this up with the medical authorities who have failed to properly exercise their duty of care over Nicky.

We ask you to respect our privacy in the short term, and we will advise future arrangements for Nicky.

Dave and Jane"
Nicky was just 21.  Hey was born in the town where I live.

In light of the recent report from the IPCA regarding the manner in which Police treated a woman suffering from a mental health condition who was sexually assaulted by a hospital security guard, who then went on to sexually assault a second woman because Police did absolutely nothing about the first complaint, and the evidence of other serious problems regarding the treatment of mental health patients in Aotearoa New Zealand, it's clear that Nicky Tairoa Stevens is not the only one who's been let down.

Nicholas Ward Harris was killed in a prison cell after he was arrested, for being homeless in Hamilton basically.  It's not just Police, it's prison staff, mental health professionals, the so called justice system and the Courts, vulnerable people are being let down right across the board, while the meagre, taxpayer funded resources that are supposed to be spent treating, helping, supporting people who genuinely need care, are instead being spent on corrupt persecutory vendettas.


UPDATE - 16 March 2015:

Kia Ora whanau - as I have posted all week re Nicky - I would like to inform you of a public statement made by Nicky's whanau - I would also like to acknowledge the whanau for what they have gone through and are going through at this time , Nga mihi Alvina, Hamilton Homeless Trust.

Shortly after Nicky died his family began to speak up about what was happening to them, and they're co-ordinating discussion and constructive action among others who've been treated the same way and other human beings with basic empathy.

Nicholas Taiaroa Macpherson Stevens, 26.4.93 – 9.3.15 
A Preventable Death 
The Victim of Medical and Bureaucratic Malpractice 
Public Statement by his parents Jane and Dave, and brother Tony. 
~ 
Our family completely rejects a Waikato Hospital’s sham ‘investigation’, and calls for Hospital authorities to be held accountable by an independent investigation. 

Our son’s death was preventable, had proper and common sense procedures been followed. 

The day following the discovery of our son’s body in the Waikato River, our family received an email letter from the Waikato Hospital Manager stating the Hospital was going to conduct a 70-day internal investigation into the “service and care delivery issues” that the family had raised BEFORE Nicholas’ body was discovered. 

A mid-level manager of the Hospital was to conduct the ‘investigation’ – and the family was not asked for input into the personnel or brief for the investigation, and was told in the letter it would be offered “an opportunity to meet and discuss the findings following “ its completion. 

We will not participate in such a sham ‘investigation’. 

We demand a complete, independent investigation run totally outside Waikato Hospital, where the family has opportunity for input at all stages. Waikato Hospital should initiate and pay for this. 

The Hospital letter also refused us access at this point to documents showing communication between the Hospital and Police following the discovery that Nicholas had gone missing. 

FACTS ABOUT NICHOLAS’ CARE AT WAIKATO HOSPITAL

Nicholas was in Hospital under a compulsory care order under the Mental Health Act. He was admitted less than 3 weeks before his death after trying to commit suicide, requiring several hours of urgent surgery – which the family was not told about for several days. 

Against strong and repeated opposition from the family, Waikato Hospital granted Nicholas ‘unescorted leave’ from the Hospital grounds. 

The family warned Waikato Hospital staff and management on a number of occasions that Nicholas was in high danger of harming himself again.  

He had described to family members and friends two other suicide attempts while in Hospital on ‘unescorted leave’ – these had been passed on both to Ward staff and to management. 

Hospital authorities chose not only to ignore our opposition to ‘unescorted leave’, but planned to extend it on the very day he disappeared. 

When he disappeared, he was on his second period of unescorted leave in less than 2 hours. Nicholas’ care Management Plan stated that leave was for a maximum of 15 minutes – it seems he was absent for at least 90 minutes before he was discovered missing.  

He was only discovered missing when friends came to see him and he couldn’t be found. 

CCTV footage of the Henry Bennett Centre entrance and lobby show Nicholas being in the vicinity, going in and out of the door for a period well after his leave period ought to have expired. 

There is no (active) system of keeping records as to when patients in the Henry Bennett Centre go on leave, escorted or unescorted, or when visitors enter or leave the Wards. 

Nicholas’ situation is not the first instance like this at Waikato Hospital.

Had Nicholas been on escorted leave, as his family stated was the only safe option at that time, he would almost certainly have been alive today. 

Failing that, had his leave maximum period of 15 minutes been adhered to, and staff been sent to look for him, again Nicholas would almost certainly have been alive today. 

It is for these and other reasons that we assert malpractice on the Hospital’s part.

When he was discovered missing, Police tell us that the missing notice received by Hamilton Police from the Hospital did not mention anything about a suicide alert, or any danger to his health. 

Police therefore did not accord the report any high priority, and in fact did not even contact the family until almost two days after Nicholas’ disappearance – despite us lodging with their website missing person’s report system (we could not get to speak to ANY officer) our extreme concerns about his safety. 

We were finally contacted by Police AFTER we sent emails of complaint to the Minister of Police, the Police Commissioner and the District Commander of Police. They have claimed that timing is a coincidence. 

We believe the Police should be far more proactive when first receiving ANY such missing persons reports – this is not the first case where very prompt action may have prevented a disaster. 

We stress however that in no way do we blame the Police for what has happened, and we would like to especially thank Det Stephen Stokes for the sympathy and support he has shown us. 

The farewell service for Nicholas will be held at the Hamilton Gardens Pavilion, at 11am on Wednesday 18th March.

There is no "compulsory care order" under the Mental Health Act.

There is a Compulsory Treatment Order though.  It's under Part 2 of the Mental Health Act, from section 17,  section 28 states this:
Every compulsory treatment order shall be either—
(a)  a community treatment order; or
(b)  an inpatient order,—
- and on making a compulsory treatment order the court shall specify the kind of order it is.
Section 31 establishes the Responsible Clinician as the person responsible for granting leave.  Certain so called responsible clinicians are extremely irresponsible indeed.  It hasn't been established who is culpable for the death of Nicholas Taiaroa Macpherson Stevens yet, but questions have most certainly been raised - the unacceptable thing is, that they were raised a long time ago, they've been repeatedly raised for a very long time.  Nothing was done about it.

Dave Macpherson said the family had written to the hospital at least 12 times before and after Stevens went missing, expressing "real concerns" about his care.

"What we're saying to the hospital is 'we've done the complaints, you didn't respond, and it's too late for an internal investigation'," he said.

The family wants Waikato DHB to call in the Health and Disability Commissioner or a similar independent body to head the investigation and wish to be consulted on the inquiry's brief.

Since Stevens' death, David Macpherson had been contacted by members of the public expressing concern about the care their family members had received at Waikato Hospital.

"We're more familiar with bureaucracies and systems than most people and we still couldn't make it work for our son. What hope have people got without our backgrounds?"

Good question.

In recent weeks the stain of Nicky's death has spread and darkened.

Jane, Dave and Tony are speaking up and calling for accountability, and being opposed and hindered by a system that is seriously dysfunctional now, due to the years and years of erosion of integrity, competent management and governance, and basic humanity, logic and fairness.

The Health and Disability Commissioner is in the business of 'resolving' complaints by employing strategies of 'damage control' - minimising complaints and fabricating excuses for the perpetrators instead of removing them from the system and forcing them to get a job in the real world - if they can.

Mrs Y v NZ Police officers A B and C -


Have NZ Police learned nothing from the Louise Nicholas saga, the Malcolm Rewa fiasco, and all the other damning indictments on their competency and integrity in recent years?

Despite the glowing whitewash job of Phillipa Smith, the Attorney General, the NZ Police are getting worse, not better.

Since the Bazely report, which identified serious problems within the Police administration, culture, management and governance, confidence in the Police has continued to plummet.

Click on this link to view the report of the so called independent Police Conduct Authority regarding a sexual assault on vulnerable women by a hospital security guard, and the utterly disgraceful manner in which the NZ Police dealt with her complaints.

Police treated her with utter contempt, and did nothing whatsoever until another woman made a complaint against the same security guard and one of the officers involved realised that his senior officer had allowed this offender to continue his sleazy activities after the first victim had complained.

Lawyer Lynching Labelled “Show Trial”

~ Kiwisfirst

Judge Rhys Harrison
Judge Rhys Harrison
Political oppression against those who exercise their freedom to express critical views of judges is set to play out in Auckland District Courtroom 5.3 on 2 September 2013, where the New Zealand Law Society is seeking to have human rights barrister Evgeny Orlov debarred for privately criticising Court of Appeal Judge Rhys Harrison (pictured).

The prosecution has been five years in the making, has cost Society members almost $200,000 and is largely unknown to the public despite procedural appeals having gone to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

The saga began when Mr Orlov made a private complaint to the Judicial Conduct Commissioner concerning what he considered to be racially tainted views of Maoris and foreigners by then-High Court Judge Rhys Harrison.

Though similar complaints have been made by others against Harrison, Mr Orlov’s complaint prompted then-Chief High Court Judge Anthony Randerson to write the Law Society on Court letterhead asking it to investigate Mr Orlov’s fitness as a lawyer.

The Law Society struggled but eventually came up with nine charges to levy against Mr Orlov. They all centre on “false and scandalous charges” Orlov allegedly made about Harrison in his JCC complaint.

Harrison and Randerson JJ both currently both sit on the New Zealand Court of Appeal.
In a mocking and meandering press release this week, Mr Orlov called the debacle a ‘show trial’, noting the Law Society intends to call no witnesses, while preventing him from calling Harrison or either of the two Judicial Conduct Commissioners as witnesses. Orlov draws a comparison with the 1899 Privy Council judgment ofMcLeod v St Aubyn which found; ” Contempt of Court may be committed by publication of scandalous matter respecting the Court after adjudication as well as pending a case before it. In England committals for such contempts have become obsolete: in small colonies consisting principally of coloured populations they may still be necessary in proper cases”.

Even for a colonial backwater, no witnesses and allowing no cross-examination seem a strange court process to prove ‘false and scandalous’ criticisms sufficient for a legal lynching.
Pertinently, Mr Orlov included a link in his press release to a New Zealand Law Society press release which publicly criticised a conviction in Fiji for quoting a report critical of its courts as “a serious restriction on the right to free speech”. In contrast, NZ Society members’ criticisms in Orlov’s prosecution have been few; generally directed at the financial costs being incurred despite few members knowing what the ‘false and scandalous’ allegations are at the core of the prosecution conducted in their names.

Another lawyer similarly attacked by the New Zealand Law Society sees the current policies of the Law Society being representative of broad apathy in the legal community which has turned to fear. He intoned, ‘ Feareverything, do nothing and, above all, be quiet’ is the adopted credo of lawyers in New Zealand.

The Orlov trial raises broader natural justice concerns by preventing inquiry (as scandalous) into the validity of a complaint he has made against a powerful State actor – a complaint which is not unique. Mr Orlov alleged Harrison J sanctioned Maori children being removed from their parents without hearing – oppressively awarding costs against him personally in violation of UN conventions for representing the parents in a claim alleging the Crown acted without due process. In another case, Harrison J ordered a known paedophile to be the custodial parent where the mother was a Russian bride being deported as a result of her marriage breakup. Investigate Magazine said earlier on this misconduct, ” The most stunning aspect of the whole story, however, is why on earth a man with Paul Copeland’s psychiatric history, a man who raped his own sister and tried to murder his wife with a bow and arrow, a man who enjoyed killing cats in the cruellest possible ways – why such a man would be allowed anywhere near a child“.

Judge Harrison’s brother Geoff Harrison was lawyer for that child.

Judge Harrison also criticised Mr Orlov for not being trained as a lawyer in New Zealand, seemingly justifying his complaint Harrison is xenophobic without any explanation from the Judge for this worrisome judicial comment.

Dr Frank Deliu, a U.S. and N.Z. trained lawyer, expresses similar views of Harrison and has provided the Judicial Conduct Commissioner seven sentencing decisions of Harrison J which cite their “host country” and crimes against “people of New Zealand” as factors in sentencing foreign-born New Zealanders. Dr Deliu is also being prosecuted by the NZ Law Society on the recommendation of Judge Randerson, although the charges are still being determined.

Mr Orlov’s press release invites interested parties to attend the “show trial” which is set to begin at 10 am. With no witnesses and a charge of making false allegations, he has billed it as colonial justice at its finest and asked attendees to accordingly wear black tie and evening dress.

Ewen Macdonald, his brother, and the Clown prosecutor:


Hot on the heels of the Urewera fiasco and the Kim Dotcom circus, Clown prosecutor Ben Vanderkolk has stage managed the prosecution of Ewen Macdonald to make sure that the jury only got to hear half the facts.

It's been revealed that Ewen Hyde had a long history of deliberate and premeditated criminal activity, much of it malicious and violent and aimed directly at Scott and Kylee Guy, such as the graffiti he sprayed on their home saying "fucken bitch slapper", "you cheating whore, what comes around, goes around'', "stay away from him Kylee, you whore'', and "now you know how it feels to lose something you love''.(sic). Given that Macdonald has admitted this, and said he did it for fun, why has there been no request to have him examined by a psychiatrist, he is clearly psychopathic and a danger to other people!  It's now been revealed that Macdonald bashed 19 calves to death with a hammer. This behaviour is not normal - what's wrong with the Clown prosecutors and the police, just accepting this and not questioning his sanity - unbelievable that the corrupt police and their corrupt mates at the Court can conspire to lock me up for three months for alleging I'm a danger to myself instead of arresting the REAL criminals, but nobody seems to see anything wrong with Ewen Macdonald's mental health . . .

Here's a timeline of SOME of his recent activities:
December 30, 2006: Ewen Macdonald killed two trophy stags on Craig Hocken's Feilding property.

August 9, 2007: Intentionally destroyed 16,000 litres of milk at Graham Sexton's farm at Himatangi.

August 9, 2007: Intentionally killed calves causing loss to farmer Paul Barber at Foxton.

March 21, 2008: Damaged a duck-shooting whare belonging to Graham Sexton.

October 24, 2008: Damaged an old house by fire on Scott and Kylee Guy's property in Feilding.

January 30, 2009: Vandalism of Scott and Kylee Guy's new home in Feilding.

July 8, 2010: Scott Guy shot dead at the end of his driveway in the early hours of the morning.

April 7, 2011: Ewen Macdonald arrested for murder.

September 2011: Callum Boe convicted of arson, vandalism, etc, and sentenced to two years imprisonment.

June 5, 2012: Trial begins in the High Court at Wellington. Macdonald is acquitted a month later.



August 6, 2012: It is revealed that Callum Boe is already out of prison.

September 14, 2012: Macdonald to be sentenced in the High Court at Palmerston North on six remaining charges - the same charges that Boe was convicted and imprisoned for last year - Macdonald should have been jointly charged at that time with those offences!

The only reason Boe was not called to give evidence, and that the previous history or RELEVANT criminal violence directed specifically at Scott and Kylee Guy was hidden is because Clown prosecutor Ben Vandervolk exercised his personal discretion and conspired with his mates to make sure that the jury and the Court didn't hear about it - which amounts to a criminal conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in my opinion (and that of many others).

Ewen Macdonald's brother is a Wellington police detective, the corruption and incompetence of the New Zealand police is legendary - staff refer to police national headquarters as "Bullshit Castle".   It appears very likely that a combination of a police investigation aimed at making sure that no evidence was found, and a Clown prosecutor who conspired with the police to pervert the course of justice, has resulted in his acquittal for cold blooded, premeditated murder. Justice in NZ comes down to how much money you've got and who your mates are.

Macdonald lied and lied, over and over again, living a lie, like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.  How many other women are living with monsters like Ewen Macdonald? Apparently "respectable" blokes, how many monsters lkike this are on school Boards of Trustees - as Macdonald was?  How many women, like his wife, just accept stories about little "night missions" with "mates" like Callum Boe?

The suppression order regarding the other charges was supposed to be lifted when Macdonald appeared in the Palmerston North District Court for a callover on Tuesday 31 July 2012, but were continued by the district court judge, who declined jurisdiction to sentence Macdonald.

He will now be sentenced by the High Court later this year - a sentencing date will likely be set when he next appears in court on September 14.

The news report dated 6 August 2012 shows that despite being sentenced to two years jail last September, Callum Boe is out already - less than 12 months later - what an insult to justice!

Ewen Macdonald is a ticking time bomb. The arson and vandalism were committed "for retribution" after Macdonald and Boe were caught poaching Samba deer and were trespassed from the farms. Retribution for the fact that Macdonald and Boe were caught in the act committing crimes, not retribution for any OTHER act - it's not retribution, it's extreme psychopathic behaviour and Macdonald has never been subjected to a psychiatric examination - nobody thought it necessary to ask for one, but I think there is clear evidence of a serious mental illness and one which presents a clear and indisputable danger to the public!

Andrew Hoggard, Federated Farmers Manawatu-Rangitikei provincial president, said Macdonald's actions were "inexplicable".  What a funny word to use.  I'd say Macdonald needs to be locked up in a secure mental asylum for what are clearly deranged and dangerous thought processes and extreme behaviour.  Normal people do not commit such acts of purely malevolent destructive atrocity - he's admitted to it - but the video of that admission is extremely chilling, watch how off hand he is about it, how little he cares, how casual he is, almost thinks it's a joke by the look of it.  His matey relationship with the police is evidence also.

"We genuinely thought crimes like this were committed by some low-life toe-rag who'd never worked a decent day in their life. It is a real shock to discover MacDonald has admitted to what are acts of sabotage"  said Hoggard.  

How many other "respectable" "pillars of the community", "award winning farmers" and members of Boards of Trustees are living lives that are lies? How many of them are malicious and psychopathic bullies?  Ray Craig certainly is and so was Gavin Kennedy, both of the South End School Board of Trustees, and involved in the ongoing bullying and corruption that saw a Statutory Manager appointed last year, and the resignation of the former principal Rod O'Leary after O'Leary lied about the employment of me and of another staff member, and conspired with the Board to sack us over deliberately false allegations and further the political careers of their mates. Ray Craig is also thick as thieves with corrupt local Constable Stephen Wakefield, his son Constable Michael Wakefield, and the other corrupt local cops, who are conspiring to cover up the epidemic of child abuse by throwing hundreds of files in the rubbish bin and lying about it.

Macdonald had committed a large number of serious crimes, ALL of which the local police had failed to charge him with, after Boe confessed, they had no choice.

The so called investigation into the Wairarapa child abuse cover up has not involved anyone from the so called 'investigation team' interviewing Det Sgt Mark McHattie, the ringleader of the corruption, the one who threw hundreds of files in the rubbish bin and lied "Hand on my heart" they'd been "resolved".

McHattie and his mate, Area Commander Jack Johnston, have both been promoted instead of charged and imprisoned. - What kind of 'investigation' doesn't interview the main offender, the ringleader? A CORRUPT ONE! This so called investigation has been sucking up taxpayer's money for YEARS - feeding the pigs on the gravy train, with their snouts in the trough, while the media and the politicians and the middle classes spin out their attacks on "some low-life toe-rag who'd never worked a decent day in their life" and other attacks on "beneficiaries", "dope smokers", "Maoris" and other social groups.

Most chilling of all is the glimpse into the mind of someone who committed these atrocities just because he could.  Ewen Macdonald had everything; a beautiful wife and a lovely family, a guaranteed future that was very rosy indeed. But he just couldn't stop himself. The blood lust of men who poach stags for trophies, like he did, is unfathomable, never mind the blood lust it took to even think up the idea of killing nineteen calves with a hammer - never mind actually carry it out!   I'd kill an animal for food if I had to, but that's not what Ewen Macdonald and Callum Boe were doing on their little "missions", they were engaged in sheer mindless violence, and destruction, theft, deceit, lies, etc.  The video interview where Macdonald admits the crimes Boe had already confessed to shows that Macdonald thought the whole thing was a bit of a joke.

He joined the Board of Trustees of the local school AFTER murdering Scott Guy apparently, which suggests a degree of arrogance as well as a lack of remorse that is deeply disturbing.
The landowners pointed the finger at Macdonald, who originally denied it, but then he said it was "just that easy" and their property was not the only one he had been poaching on.  I guess it is all rather easy when you're such good mates with the local cops.

The motivation behind Macdonald and Boe’s crimes was revealed in September when Boe appeared in Queenstown District Court and was sentenced to two years’ jail for his offending. He served less than twelve months and was out before Ewen Macdonald's even been sentenced for the same crime.

The details of that appearance were suppressed until this week.

This looks like a blatant case of perverting the course of justice. George Gwaze was tried twice, so why can't Ewen Macdonald be retried? I know which one I tend to think is guiltier.

Secret s 95 inquiry into Hutt Valley Mental Health 'services' long overdue!



A secret government inquiry (links to media reports are below) into treatment blunders and leadership problems within Hutt Valley's mental health services has come up with a predictable 'report' - but nothing's changed, as I experienced first hand recently after corrupt 'psychiatrists' wrote 'reports' that they knew full well were orchestrated litanies of lies - designed to pervert the course of justice - as recognised by the Courts.

It's clear that lunatics are running the asylum, dangerous and overpaid lunatics like Linda Astor, Brenda Sally Rimkeit, Gary Orr and others.  

I experienced the sadistic corruption first hand, and consider myself lucky to have ever got out alive after being forcibly injected with dangerous drugs by corrupt and sadistic lunatics.
Leaked documents show the Health Ministry's mental health director, David Chaplow, ordered the investigation in June, but both the ministry and Hutt Valley District Health Board have kept it under wraps since.
In a letter to then-Hutt Valley chief executive Michael Hundleby, Dr Chaplow said he was ordering the inquiry under section 95 of the Mental Health Act after being made aware of problems with the service.
"There are two main areas of concern – the leadership of the mental health services, and a number of clinical issues presenting as `complaints' involving individual patients, which may, in turn, be related to the leadership issue or to wider systemic issues."
The service has come under fire three times in the past year from Wellington's coroners. The latest was last Tuesday, when coroner Ian Smith released findings into the death of Upper Hutt man Jerry Korewha.
Fi Perez, whose husband Jerome, 40, killed himself in March 2008, welcomed the inquiry. Mrs Perez tried for six months to get help for her husband, a long-time bipolar sufferer, before he died.
She said it was "fabulous" that an inquiry was taking place. "Too many people have died.
"The one thing that has really grated [with] me ... is that the district health board's response each time is that `We have made changes'. Well, Jerome died in 2008 and the next guy died in 2009 ... so that's just rubbish."
The inquiry is being carried out independently by Barry Wilson, a mental health district inspector and lawyer from Auckland. District inspectors are appointed by the Health Ministry to investigate complaints, conduct inquiries and inspect mental health services.
Deputy mental health director Susanna Every-Palmer said the inquiry – which covers the two years from June 2008 – was now well under way and the ministry expected to receive the completed report in a few months.
It was ordered after Wellington's five mental health district inspectors raised concerns, she said. "The clinical [concerns] are similar to those that have been reported in the public domain, such as in coroners' reports."
She would not provide specific details, saying patient privacy needed to be protected, and could not confirm whether the completed report would be made public. Section 95 inquiries were not normally announced publicly, she said.
Before the inquiry was ordered, the district health board insisted it had made improvements to the mental health service, including a major restructuring in late 2009.


Acting chief operating officer Toni Atkinson said the health board viewed the current inquiry as a "quality improvement opportunity" and believed recent changes had addressed historical problems.
"The DHB ... is fully committed to implementing any recommendations."
Dr Every-Palmer said the ministry believed the health board was trying hard and there had been significant management changes already. "However, in June we did have concerns."
Those They Failed
James Barnden, 31, died in 2007 after administrative bungles at Hutt Hospital. The Stokes Valley man went to an appointment at the hospital on June 11. Christine McCarrison, the specialist meant to see him, was unaware of the appointment. Only Andrew Green, a second-year WelTec student working as a trainee, was present. He told the inquest he felt he could not turn Mr Barnden away, so assessed him, noting he had been thinking about suicide. Mr Green did not complete a risk assessment, made a second appointment for June 26 and put the file in his pigeonhole without reporting to Ms McCarrison or Mr Barnden's GP. Two days before the second appointment, Mr Barnden's mother found him dead.
Depressed Lower Hutt man Jerome Perez killed himself in March 2008 after waiting months for a respite placement. The 40-year-old had struggled for years with bipolar disorder. His wife, Fi Perez, begged the health board for about six months to provide him with care and accommodation. When that did not work the pair decided to fake their separation. Mr Perez killed himself three weeks later. His death prompted Wellington coroner Ian Smith to call for improvements to temporary care facilities in the Hutt Valley health district. The DHB admitted that Mr Perez was denied respite care because of a lack of facilities.
Upper Hutt's Jerry Korewha had chronic depression when he was hit on State Highway 2 near Upper Hutt, after smoking marijuana, in March 2009. His death was not found to be suicide, though the possibility existed. A former Mongrel Mob member, Mr Korewha was well known to police and was under post-detention conditions for a drink-driving conviction when he died. As part of those conditions, he was referred to the DHB, which missed his recent history of chronic depression and put him through four alcohol and drug treatment sessions instead. The coroner found the DHB failed to complete a "simple" check, did not follow its own protocols and may have had a management-level breakdown when it misdiagnosed Mr Korewha.
19 January 2011 - The Dominion Post

TV3 reports that "Barry Wilson" is conducting the inquiry - I sincerely hope it's not the same Barry Wilson who was running the FAILED Wairarapa DHB suicide prevention program!


And two months after this was published, Police and the Clown Law Orifice conspired to pervert the course of justice and I was corruptly incarcerated in the Hotel Rangipapa . . .  


And when I filed an application in the High Court for a Judicial Inquiry, with Capital Coast District Health Board as co-respondent with the Attorney General, I was transferred out of the jurisdiction of the CCDHB, to Te Whare Ahuru, Hutt Valley Mental Health Services.  I was there for several more weeks, until I reinstated the application, which I discovered had been "discontinued".   Shortly thereafter my responsible clinician was changed, to Dr Wolfgang Kure (a professional and enlightened doctor), and I was given leave from the hospital and allowed to go home.  A couple of weeks later my status was changed, I am no longer under section 30 of the Mental Health Act, and my official status now is "informal".


I hope Dr Wolfgang Kure can turn the Hutt Valley mental health services around, they have earned a very bad reputation indeed.  They also have a lot of potential, more of the staff openly spoke out against my detention there than at Rangipapa - realising that it was the height of corruption and a total abuse of power.  Dr Orr needs to be sacked for gross misconduct, like 'Drs' Rimkeit, Thabrew, Short, Romans, Safarti and others who all knew perfectly well that I was completely sane and that my incarceration was an utter travesty!

Chelsea Brindle Thabrew



Chelsea Brindle Thabrew, 8. January 1977 - 29 March 2010



"Chelsea, to her family and friends, was firstly a lover of nature. Barefooted, shy, freespirited, observing the little things in a bigger world, mending a broken wing, hatching a duckling, nurturing her chickens, plucking tiny wildflowers and looking up their names. Admiring dewdrops captured in the petals of a flower, untangling hedgehogs from the fishing netting of the tennis court. Exploring, learning, and investigating and always asking why?

Her first degree, a master's in biology was followed by her first real job, research into the co-dependence of native mistletoe and bell birds. Based in the Canterbury bush, they were some of the happiest days in her busy life. She was amazed when her findings were included in a publication. Such was her modesty.

She was sensitive, observant, insecure, artistic and creative, quiet, and contemplative, modest and private. Popular, loyal, quaint, quick witted and quirky, and funny. A great and fast talker! She loved learning, loved drawing, loved creating small whimsical gifts. She loved music and reading and always the wandering and exploring.

As a doer, always doing, she was attuned to the needs of others, and her passion for cooking and baking resulted in little treats for friends in need of nurturing. Beautifully packaged and presented. She was fastidious - a perfectionist.

Then came medicine, and she adored it all. The hands-on with patients, the research, and always the learning, the why? It was as a house surgeon that she met Hiran, a paediatrician retraining as a psychiatrist, and was completely blown away by him. Courtship followed and she knew he was the one.

Travel became a passion as she immersed herself in diverse cultures, soaking up the colours and smells of life. She couldn't get enough. The joy she showed that she had found her soul mate in Hiran was there for all to see. She glowed, she blossomed. She was so proud of him, in awe of him and she told us she never really felt worthy of him. In her, he saw not only the beautiful girl she was, but her inner potential, buried under layers of self doubt.

Try as she did to become the whole person for him, and for herself, she felt the continual failure and emotional conflict that ensued, as torment that would forever frustrate and hurt her beloved Hiran.  She loved him above all else, and the knowledge of the pain and anguish that their differences were causing was more than she could bear. As a deeply loving and private person she felt disloyal discussing their tragic situation.

To free her Hiran of this burden, Chelsea took her life in the tragic belief that it would make life better for the one she loved beyond beyond. How wrong she was.

Chelsea was cremated barefooted, wrapped in the vibrant quilt made for her twenty first birthday by the twenty-one most significant people in her life up to that time.  'Bear Bear' snuggled in beside, and a pair of elegant 'heels' from Hiran -just in case."

That was copied directly from the obituary on the Canterbury University website.



Chelsea Brindle Thabrew was the wife of Dr Hiran Thabrew, who knowingly signed a form committing me to a mental hospital under a Compulsory Treatment Order, when he knew full well that there was nothing wrong with me, and that the process was corrupt.  Either Dr Thabrew wouldn't know mental illness if he fell over it, or he is a deliberately sadistic psychopath who should not be 'practising' medicine.  The written reports of his colleagues (links below) speak for themselves, and are indisputable evidence of these claims.  The irony is tragic and I feel very deeply indeed for the family of Chelsea Brindle Thabrew.  

Shortly before her death she spoke of how "her husband was finding the burden of her almost too much", and that they had also had a brief time apart.  

Chelsea had been taking the drug fluoxetine, prescribed for her depression.  Medication doesn't always fix depression - addressing the causes of it usually does.


Interested persons can write to Coronial.Information@justice.govt.nz and request a copy of the Coroner's findings on the tragic death of this lovely young woman, who had her whole life ahead of her.  Certain parts of the report are under a Court suppression order, other parts are just too sad and too personal for such a private woman to be repeated here.

I only mention that 'coincidence' because of comments made recently by the Coroner regarding another local suicide, and my deep concern at the way mental health "care" is being delivered in New Zealand, and who is delivering this mental health "care", and the chilling and indisputable evidence that my incarceration was a corrupt, sadistic and politically motivated effort to 'shut me up' for criticising local police and politicians - as Dr Justin Barry-Walsh confirms in his report, as well as a number of senior lawyers.  There are links to these reports and letters in the final paragraph below.



Then there's the Linda Astor fiasco, and the question, how could not one of Linda Astor's colleagues have noticed that Astor was not only not a woman, but not a psychiatrist either?  Not very observant at all.  Walter Freeman conducted thousands of brutal lobotomies, with ice picks, before his peers spoke up and stopped him.  So called 'psychiatrists' like Hiran Thabrew, Brenda Sally Rimkeit, Jacqueline Short, Sarah Romans, Gary Orr, and others are very dangerous individuals indeed.  All showed they were corrupt to the core regarding my unlawful detention.  The Health and Disability Commission, Ombudsmen's Office and other taxpayer funded organisations are dysfunctional - incompetent and corrupt, and consequently massively overworked - and changes to the justice system, administration of legal aid, access to the Family Court, etc, have eroded justice in New Zealand beyond the low standard already evident for years.  Letters from senior lawyers confirm that access to justice is now almost non existent.

High Court Application for section 84 Judicial Inquiry:

Two corrupt Carterton Constables arrested me on 4th March 2011 for not appearing in the Wellington Court for a minor fixture after WINZ declined to assist me with travel costs to get to Porirua to attend two appointments with psychiatrists, one of whom was 'Dr' Brenda Sally Rimkeit. WINZ refused the applications (in writing) on the grounds that "Work and Income cannot be seen to be assisting people who do not abide by the law."  ALL the appointments should have been made in Masterton - a fact later acknowledged by the Court.

The WINZ decision is obviously in blatant disregard to the established cornerstone of justice for centuries that a person is to be considered innocent until proven guilty! Two psychiatric reports were required by the Court, following one report written by eminent psychiatrist Dr Justin Barry-Walsh in November 2010, in which Dr Barry-Walsh says:
"I do not think this woman is suffering from any mental disorder, and in particular I don't think she is suffering from the onset of persecutory delusions."
Following my arrest I was pushed and shoved and groped by Dallinger and Wilton, and then locked in a cell in the Masterton police station, as Wilton and Dallinger delighted in telling me how they'd waited till after the Judge went home to arrest me.  The following day, Saturday, I was taken before a Justice of the Peace, ONE Justice of the Peace. I explained that my attendance had been excused by Judge Barry because the reports had not been completed and that Judge Barry had agreed with me only days earlier that the appointments should have been made in Masterton not Porirua, like the appointment with Dr Barry-Walsh had been.  Judge Davidson ignored this and ordered that I be sent to prison, and I was taken to Arohata Prison, strip searched, processed and locked up.  Judge Davidson is the same Judge who corruptly presided over the matter involving local prostitute Rachel Betteridge and her partner sending me threatening and abusive messages, and the corrupt local police charged ME with sending messages to HER - despite all the evidence to the contrary!  (I was acquitted, but Davidson was clearly corrupt and refused to award me costs or acknowledge that the police had never attempted to communicate with the telecommunications company, Vodafone, and had LIED to the Court in claiming that they had.

The following Monday I was taken to the Wellington Court, but the amicus curiae assigned to the matter (the corruptly laid charges of Perverting the Course of Justice and Escaping From Custody), Bryan Yeoman, didn't turn up, so I was taken back to the prison and brought back the following day.

On Tuesday 8th March I was taken back to Wellington Court, where I was visited in the Court cells by Yeoman and 'Dr' Brenda Sally Rimkeit, an American woman, who conspired with Yeoman, and wrote a certificate saying that in her opinion I needed to be locked up in a mental facility to have the reports completed! Judge Davidson supported this corrupt conspiracy, and as a result of this I eventually ended up locked in two mental asylums for a total of three months. While I was there I learned that Yeoman and others specialise in exploiting vulnerable mental health clients, with the co-operation of and corrupt "psychiatrists" like Drs Brenda Sally Rimkeit, Jacqueline Short, Sarah Romans, Gary Orr and others. A series of lawyers refused to do anything constructive about the scandalous situation, or refused to listen to my instructions about what to do about it, so I was finally forced to write my own application for a Judicial Inquiry under section 84 of the Mental Health Act.

I sat up in my cell at Rangipapa late into the night writing this out by hand, and then waited till there was an honest member of staff on duty to fax it to the Court. This in itself wasn't easy because I was being forcibly medicated with drugs designed to induce the effect of a chemical lobotomy and reduce well functional people to vegetative states, then there was the Management Plans of the doctors and nurses which stipulated that I wasn't allowed any phone calls or mail, pens, paper, copies of legislation, etc. Eventually I managed to contact friends who sent me writing materials, and after spitting out the medication that wasn't being forcibly injected, wrote the Application for Judicial Inquiry myself, late into the night after we were locked in our cells.

The Application named the Capital Coast Health Board and the Attorney General as Co-Respondents, and eventually resulted in my release, together with the support of a number of people in the community, who phoned, wrote letters of complaint, swore affidavits, came to Court and gave evidence, protested, signed a petition, and took a lot of other action to protest this scandalous abuse of powers and outright blatant corruption. Here is the Application for Judicial Review, and I urge others to take similar action if faced with the same corruption, first make application under section 16 for a judicial review, and if that fails, read section 84, and apply for a Judicial Inquiry. Of course, this is assuming you can get hold of a pen and paper, let alone copies of the legislation - phone a lawyer and instruct them in writing to get you a pen and paper and copies of the relevant legislation (the Mental Health Act and the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act), then instruct the lawyer in writing to make the two applications under sections 16 and then 84:

To the High Court at Wellington:

May it please the Court:
I, Katherine Raue, wish to make an urgent application under section 84(2) and section 84(3) of the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment Act 1992 to be brought before a Judge for examination and on the evidence of other witnesses, for the purpose of a Judicial Inquiry to establish that I am fit to be discharged from the hospital, (section 84(3)(b)).

I respectfully request that the Court consider such evidence as the attached affidavit from Witness X, and other documents, including several psychiatric reports and letters from lawyers relevant to this matter, and the evidence of several witnesses, including Witness X.

Judge DRW Barry of the District Court has already acknowledged that there are serious factual inaccuracies in at least one of the recent reports prepared for the Court. At a recent fixture in the Masterton Court Judge Barry acknowledged that reference to " a previous pattern" of involvement with police when she lived in Wellington" (report of Dr Justin Barry-Walsh, November 2009, and attributed to Constable Peter Cunningham) was erroneous and significantly misleading in that I had not lived in Wellington for about thirty years, and had had next to nothing to do with police all my life until having the misfortune to come to Carterton in 1999 and meet Constable Cunningham, who told Dr Barry-Walsh (and anyone else who will listen) this orchestrated litany of lies.

Judge Barry also acknowledged evidence from a number of lawyers which included a letter from one which stated that it was "obvious that you have been a lightning rod for Police attention since you arrived in the Wairarapa, and that has resulted in many unnecessary charges being laid and this was most unfair to you." This particular letter commented that the lawyer writing it (Ken Daniels) was pleased at the dismissal of a number of charges against me and that it was obvios that there had been no evidence to support them from the outset and they should not have been laid. Other letters from lawyers comment strongly on the refusal of Police take statements or formal complaints from me on a large number of valid matters including several matters directly relevant to the current charges against me. Police themselves have admitted repeatedly refusing to take complaints when questioned about it in Court.

I also wish to respectfully request a review or Judicial Inquiry or an Appeal of the recent decision of District Court Judge B Davidson's finding under Section 9 of the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003. With respect to Judge Davidson, it is perfectly clear that there is NOT sufficient evidence, on the balance of probabilities, to establish that I caused the act that forms the basis of the offence with which I am charged. For your ease of reference I attach the wirness statements, and transcript of the Depositions Hearing.

If I may draw your attention to the transcript of the Depositions Hearing, page 7 (also marked 12 in the upper right hand corner for some reason), refering to the numbers in the left hand margin, at (5) or thereabouts the principal Crown witness states that he "took no notice at the time" of what I was saying.

At (15) or thereabouts he states that he has ADHD and forgets things (ADHD is a mental disorder as far as I understand it).

At (20) or thereabouts the witness is again asked what it is thatI am alleged to have said to him and his response is: "She goes to me, she says - I don't know, it's gone."

And at (30) the witness agrees that he hasn't got a clue what I said to him basically. The matter should not have proceeded beyond Depositions let alone the Section 9 hearing!

Briefly, the background to this matter is that on 11th February 2009 I was attacked in my home by the Crown witness in the matter of the alleged Perverting the Course of Justice, Michael Francis Murphy, and others. Police refused to even take a statement from me regarding this violent attack, let alone charge Mr Murphy. The attack was in response to - or rather, a result of - Mr Murphy finding out that I had raised concerns of child abuse and violence involving him to the local police - another matter the Wairarapa police have refused to investigate.

Three totally independent witnesses to this attack on 11 February 2009 all rang emergency seriveces on 111 as they witnessed the violent attack as it was taking place, but despite this, Police refused to take a statement from me, or from two of the witnesses. I then requested the audiotape of the 111 call made by one of the witnesses, and Police refused to provide it. After complaining to the Ombudsmen I received a computer disk containing 46 Police radio tracks, including the call to 111 from the third witness, who I had been unaware of prior to receiving the disk, which also contained a number of other tracks which were potentially very embarrassing to the police as well as incriminating Mr Murphy.

Shortly after Police became aware that I had this disk (about two months after the attack) I arrived home one day and caught Murphy stealing a satchel containing the disk and some documents. I immediately rang police and made a signed statement to Constable Laura Rhymer, which was recorded in her notebook.

If I may draw your attention to page 12 of transcript of the the Depositions hearing (17 in the top right hand corner) reference is made to a statement allegedly taken a coule of hours later, also by Constable Rhymer, from Crown witness Aaron Brook (who can't remember what it is I am alleged to have said to him because of his ADHD).

This statement was NOT recorded in Constable Rhymer's notebook - and nor was it included in the Disclosure to the defence (me). I was unaware of its existence until that moment, half way through Constable Rhymer's evidence at the Depositions hearing.

Page 12 paragraph (20) Murphy's evidence alleges that he didn't go to my house since Christmas 2008 except for a couple of occasions "when we were friends" (page one of the transcript). - I specifically asked the amicus curiae - ex police officer Bryan Yeoman - to question Murphy closely about the attack on 11 February 2009, but Yeoman refused to do so.

Dr Brenda Sally Rimkeit wrote a certificate to the Court stating that in her opinion I needed to be detained in a psychiatric institution to have assessments done to see if I am fit to stand trial.

Judge DRW Barry had accepted my explanation only a few weeks earlier that the only reason I had failed to attend two earlier appointments was because they had been made in Porirua when they should have been made in Masterton (as the one in November 2009, with Dr Barry-Walsh had been), and also, I had been unable to attend the appointments at Porirua because I had received one days notice in one case and three days in the other case, and that WINZ had refused to assist me with travel costs on the grounds that "Work and Income cannot be seen to assist clients who do not abide by the law."!

Surely this is a breach of the cornerstone of justice for centuries, that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty! I was unable to attend Court in Wellington on 28 February 2011 for the same reason,and mistakenly thought my attendance had been excused on that day, pending the completion of the psychiatric reports.

I explained this reason for my non attendance for the two recent appointments to Dr Rimkeit, but she refused to accept it (unlike Judge Barry) and the amicus refused to explain it to Judge Davidson, who didn't allow me to speak.

Dr Rimkeit's report to the District Court, dated 22 March 2011 states on page 9: "My concern that (sic) if she proceeds to represent herself at Court she may, through her delusional belief system falsely accuse certain parties of wrongdoing."

Dr Rimkeit's belief is that I suffer from "Delusional Disorder." Even if she was correct (I do not agree) this is not a major mental disorder, and I do not pose a danger to myself or anyone else. Just because I hold the view that the Police - certain specific police officers, not all police I hasten to add, are/have not treated me fairly, does not necessarily mean that I an delusional.

Dr Rimkeit's report and others contain a large number of factual inaccuracies. Just one example of this is the last paragraph of page 8 of her report, continued on page 9, where Dr Rimkeit goes on about the "headmaster of the local school in Carterton that she was fired from being paid off or bribed . . . " and something about a car. I clearly stated to her an entirely factual account about receiving a letter from the Board of Trustees of the school, sacking me because, according to the letter, the Board had recently received information from the local Police that I had "recently been charged with an offence involving a child."

I have never in my life been charged with any such offence! The writers of the letter are delusional, not me!

Dr Rimkeit raised the proposition that the Principal's new car had anything to do with the matter, I merely said it was a coincidence, and only after she asked me if I thought he was bribed with the car. She also mentions suicide in the third paragraph on that page - I have never EVER attempted or even intended to commit suicide, I have never planned or threatened to. I have repeatedly requested that discussions between me and the psychiatrists are recorded by audio or video and these requests have been continually refused.

The reports appear to be an orchestrated litany of lies, bearing no resemblance to fact, almost every paragraph containing significant FACTUAL inaccuracies, as opposed to matters of opinion.

My main concern is that any subsequent reports will take the inaccurate reports into account and be therefore tainted. My only involvement with mental health services previously was to request a referral from my GP to the "To Be Heard" program. This program assists people who feel they aren't being listened to (by Police etc) as I was/am suffering from depression (moderate).

Upon admission to Rangipapa, and on the orders of Dr Rimkeit - my "responsible clinician" the four medications prescribed by my GP were abruptly ceased, causing serious side effects.

I am not psychotic, or delusional. Witness X, my landlady, will give evidence that a rock larger than my head was thrown through the window of the "granny flat" I occupy at her address very recently. I did not imagine this, or the attack on 11th February 2009. I identified Michael Murphy at the time the rock was thrown, as did the three independent witnesses to the attack on 11 February 2009, and again Police have refused to charge him. Crown witness Aaron Brook has stated repeatedly that he saw Murphy in the near vicinity when I cought him burgling my house in April 2009.

Aaron Brook's evidence is consistent in that regard, unlike his evidence against me. Mr Brook came to my house and volunteered this information. I did not ever suggest that he tell Police anything whatsoever apart from what he actually told me he witnessed. His statements (witness statement, Depositions statement) and the Depositions transcript are very vague indeed about the crime I am alleged to have committed, saying that he "felt" I wanted him to lie.

I respectfully submit that Aaron Brook is more delusional than I am, or at best he is simply mistaken, or misunderstood what I said.

The section 9 Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 matter was not properly addressed if it was addressed at all. The amicus curiae told Judge Davidson that the Depositions hearing had established that the Court was satisfied of my involvement in the offence, but I respectfully submit that this was not the case and the amicus knows that perfectly well.

I am not a lawyer, but have developed an interest in the law and would like to continue legal studies (I passed introduction to law). I am currently being detained in a secure mental facility, having not been convicted of an offence, and have been for over eight weeks. I am not being permitted any incoming or outgoing phone calls or visits except from lawyers, and not permitted any incoming or outgoing mail I was told today.

For over two weeks I was detained in conditions that were frankly appalling - isolation, no excercise, sunlight, company or stimulus, although as I write this I am now in the "main ward" again and conditions are improved slightly.

While in the seclusion ward I had very limited access to my property, including basic items such as pen and paper. Pain in my hand and wrist makes writing difficult and I have no access to a computer, typewriter, etc. I apologise for the length and disjointed nature of this letter, the main points (in summary) are:

1. I do not suffer from any major mental disorder.

2. I am not a danger to myself, or others.

3.` The requested assessments could be completed if I were discharged from "hospital", and appointments scheduled in Masterton.

4. I have been here over eight weeks, and there have been four or five reports completed in that time, some of which suggest that I have "Delusional Disorder" for thinking that some Police officers are not treating me fairly, there has not been any consideration given to the possibility that this belief may be valid

5. I am being forcibly medicated with strong anti-psychotic medication, causing serious side effects. There has been no formal cognitive test done to support the "diagnosis" and no "treatment" apart from the medication.

6. I respectfully submit that I was fit to plead not guilty (as I did), I am fit to appear in Court, and fit to represent myself if necessary. I attach a copy of the decision of Judge DRW Barry on the matter of an application by the Crown pursuant to Section 344A of the Crimes Act 1961, dated 30 September 2010. I opposed the Crown's application and represented myself at the hearing of it. The application was in relation to a related charge of Escaping From Custody.

Paragraph 19 of Judge Barry's decision explains that this charge was included in the indictment for allegedly Perverting the Course of Justice.

During the course of the hearing the Crown made another application, under section 347 of the Crimes Act, that I be discharged of the offence (deemed to be an acquittal). I managed to conduct myself appropriately, under difficult circumstances, and represent myself competently. I prepared for the hearing as best I could, having only received the various precedent decisions less than a day before the hearing (at least one of these was handed to me after the hearing began, the first time I'd seen it) and I achieved the outcome I had planned to achieve. There were no "emotional outbursts" as referred to in Dr Rimkeit's report, not did I speak "out of turn" at any stage or have to be rebuked by the Judge. I was acquitted of the charge, after an application from the Crown to the Judge to do so under section 347.

7. An urgent inquiry is required into the factual inaccuracies in the psychiatric reports written since I have been incarcerated and forcibly drugged and the factually incorrect information given by Constable Cunningham to Dr Barry-Walsh. The Family Court has asked for yet another report now. The problem is that subsequent reports take the "previous history" - and the previous reports - into account, and are, and will be, therefore tainted. Another example of the factual inaccuracies is the claim on page 9 of Dr Rimkeit's report that I was abused as a young child. This is simply not true.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

To the High Court at Wellington:

May it please the Court:
Further to my application for a Judicial Inquiry pursuant to section 84 of the Mental Health Act, dated 19 April 2011.

I am being prevented from contacting anyone, including Legal Services, the Court, the Police, etc, and staff are being extremely obstructive and not facilitating communication with lawyers. Staff continually sat "later", or simply disappear for hour after hour, day after day.

Lawyers assigned by legal aid are refusing to accept or carry out instructions. Several such lawyers have been instructed to address the matter of the factual inaccuracies in the recent reports and to request a Judicial Inquiry into these matters, and sumply refuse to do so, perferring to delay and drag out these proceedings in order to extract the maximum amount of legal aid that they can they then inform me that the grant has been used up and for that reason they cannot continue to act. One "forgot" to attend yesterday's hearing.

This is a gross miscarriage of justice. I am the victim of crime - not the perpetrator! I am not delusional in believing that certain police officers are not treating me fairly. The failure and refusal of Wairarapa Police to investigate child abuse allegations has been well publicised recently.

I reported my concerns about Michael Murphy's violence (and that of his associates) to Police, who refused to acknowledge or investigate my allegations. Police then disclosed my complaint to Murphy, who then came to my house with his associates and attacked me. Police refused to charge him in spite of a mountain of evidence of the violent attack then corruptly charged me with Perverting the Course of Justice after Murphy broke into my house to steal the evidence of his violent attack.

Murphy recently threw a large rock through my window, Police refused to take a statement from me. Staff at the facility where I am being held are refusing to allow me to contact Police, IPCA, family, friends, my bank, my landlady, the Court, etc. The refusals amount to perverting the course of justice in themselves!

Documents which were in my possession at the time of my arrest on 4th March 2011 and others which were handed to me at the Masterton Police station have also disappeared including a copy of pages from Constable Rhymer's notbook and a Court Summons. Staff at Rangipapa Unit gave me two fax forms and told me to write faxes to Masterton Police and Arohata Prison specifically about this missing propperty, which I did on 10th April, but then staff informed me that they had received instructions from Dr Rimkeit and Dr Short and that they were not to send the faxes!

The Unit Prison Liaison Officer, Chris Norris, told staff and me that Arogata Prison staff were saying I had never been at the Prison. I was actually admitted there not just once, but twice - once on 5th March 2011, and a second admission was processed on the 7th March because the amicus curiae didn't turn up to Court that day and so I was remanded in custody until the following day.

The missing page of Constable Rhymer's notebook was found to be missing on the night on 7th March, I recorded this with a green highlighter given to me (loaned) by prison staff at Arohata.

The clear, heat sealed plastic property bag from Masterton Police station was shown to me by Prison staff on the evening of 7th March, it was opened by Prison staff in front of me and the papers given to me, the notebook page was obviously removed at the Masterton police station. It is the fifth of five pages written by Constable Rhymer about the burglary by Murphy, the subject of the current charge of Perverting the Course of Justice.

It is now considered a crime to fail to report child abuse. Preventing me from contacting Police and IPCA regarding the abuse by Murphy and his associates is therefore a crime.

Murphy demonstrated his violent tendencies when he smashed my door in in February 2009, and again when he threw a rock through my window recently. He did this because I raised concerns with Police regarding him and his associates in regard to child abuse and violent behaviour. My "responsible clinicians" are preventing me contacting police, IPCA, etc, to report these violent crimes, child abuse, etc, and saying I am delusional. I am not.

~~~~~*~~~~~
The application got me out of Rangipapa almost immediately. The High Court called it up within days, Rimkeit and Short tried to stop me attending the Court hearing of the Application, saying it would be bad for my health or some rubbish, the same excuse they used to stop me havin paper and pens, mail in or out, phone calls in or out, etc, etc, I had to phone lawyers and insist they phone the Court and tell them that the co-respondent was preventing me attending the hearing which was an ouotrageous act of corruption and a total breach of my human rights, the decision to allow me to attend was made at the last minute after a lot of outside intervention.

I got to the Court and found a group of supporters waiting which included Benjamin Easton, who were aware of the situation, fortunately for me. Benjamin had prepared a couple of Writs and other documents, and was eventually permitted to enter the Court and assist me to represent myself.

I was immediately moved to Te Whare Ahuru, to remove me from the jurisdiction of the Capital Coast Health Board, the co-respondent, and therefore invalidate the application, whereupon another corrupt and incompetent "psychiatrist" took over, Dr Gary Orr, who conspired with Drs Rimkeit and Short in continuing this corrupt detention, until Dr Wolfgang Kure put a stop to it after I demanded that the lawyer who had "discontinued" my application (Pamela Harvey) reinstate it immediately listing the Hutt Valley Health Board and the Attorney General as co-respondents. Once again I was released within days. I believe this was due partly to the instruction to the lawyer, in front of witnesses, to reinstate the Application immediately (as soon as she told me it had been "discontinued", weeks later when I asked her what the delay was in having it heard), and partly to a growing campaign of public awareness including protests outside the hospital, a petition, etc, almost daily visits and phone calls from concerned citizens, and a growing awareness of the corruption being perpetrated at the already damned local mental health service, etc. This community network did more to help than most of the lawyers, who pocketed thousands.

It's seriously concerning that honest, sane and law abiding citizens are being locked in mental asylums, because the police are telling people I'm delusional for criticising them. The unhealthy relationship between the Masterton Police and the Masterton Court staff is well known, as is the sleazy depravity of officers like ex Constable Stephen Wakefield, etc. Dr Justin Barry-Walsh's report documents how corrupt Court liaison officer Alison Mulholland told Dr Barry-Walsh to interview Constable Cunningham about me - she knew perfectly well that Cunningham is a corrupt liar! Cunningham then lied to Dr Barry-Walsh, telling him that I had a history of negative involvement with police "when she previously lived in Wellington" - this is complete and utter fiction and nothing but an orchestrated litany of deliberate LIES! I had next to nothing to do with police all my life till I moved to Carterton and became a target for the corrupt thieves on the Carterton District Council and the corrupt local police and their mates!

I was simply locked up to stop me making true statements about local police and other officials on this website, which is a breach of human rights. If anyone doesn't like what I write on here they are welcome to take defamation action - Georgina Beyer threatened to do it, the Director General of MAF threatened to do it, Gary McPhee threatened to do it - but the government has just passed the Search and Surveillance Bill and other legislation turning New Zealand into a Police state, while the same police who are the main cause of the local suicide rate being double that of the rest of the country because they have been throwing child abuse files in the rubbish bin..

Sitting on their backsides looking at how they can shut my website down!

I'm grateful to Dr Wolfgang Kure for having the courage to be honest. I hope that the dark history of the Hutt Valley Mental Health 'services" will change under his guidance and that Drs like Gary Orr, Jackie Short and Brenda Sally Rimkeit are sacked, and academics in the field like Sarah Romans are exposed for what they are - devious and corrupt liars, who ruin lives and actually CAUSE suicide - not prevent it, or treat it - read Dr Orr's "Treatment Plan" for yourself - after corrupt Dr Rimkeit said
"It is my opinion (and that of forensic psychiatrist Dr Jacqueline Short, currently my acting supervisor) that Ms Raue is unfit to stand trial. She currently has a mental impairment which is Delusional Disorder. Ms Raue has stated on a number of occasions during this assessment period that she feels capable of representing and defending herself against the current charges. She has suggested that her main line of defence is that the charges are the result of corrupt acts by certain parties and that she will name these parties in Court. My concern is that if she proceeds to represent herself at Court she may, through her delusional belief system, falsely accuse certain parties of wrongdoing."
What outrageous claptrap!  This woman, Brenda Sally Rimkeit, is just another Linda Astor - barely qualified, inexperienced, and TOTALLY corrupt!  My defence is a matter for the Court to evaluate - NOT her!  Since when can devious cunning women like this appoint themselves judge AND jury?  I have every right to accuse the police of corruption in the Court if I wish - since when does that mean a person is mentally ill?  New Zealanders should be outraged about this because if it can happen to me it can happen to any one else too.

The safeguards are non existent for mental health patients - sure you can try complaining to the District Inspector - it won't do you any good - the only thing that will is a Judicial Review, and within days of instructing my lawyer in front of a witness to reinstate my application for a Judicial Inquiry immediately I was released from Te Whare Ahuru - just like I was released from Rangipapa immediately after filing it in the first place - because everyone involved knew this corruption wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny!

Dr Orr devised a "Treatment Plan" saying - don't give her any paper or writing materials to prepare her defence or write to lawyers, etc, don't send any faxes or do any photocopying, - Drs Rimkeit and Short also cut off all communication with the outside world saying in their professional opinion this was the best "treatment" for my alleged "Delusional Disorder"  - no mail, no phone calls, no visitors - no nothing, just sitting in a chair all day staring into space medicated into oblivion - this was all an orchestrated litany of utter lies!  Funded by YOUR taxes!  - While the NZ police are claiming to be under resourced - THIS is what they're spending your money on - corruptly bullying INNOCENT people.
