The Minutes of the Carterton Community Centre committee meeting held on 31May 2000

This is a copy of the Minutes relevant to the letters that lawyer Ken Daniels sent to the Police in 2004.

The matter has been brought to the attention of the Police, and Georgina Beyer, MP, since 2001.

These Minutes clearly show that a deliberate decision was made to steal thousands of dollars from the bank accounts of six seperate organisations, each set up and funded to provide services to disadvantaged people in the community, and that the money was paid to one individual.  This is stealing from the poor.  There were two of these "personal grievances" underway when I joined the committee as Secretary and Finance Officer in 2000, one of the beneficiaries was Helen Staples, and unconfirmed sources say she is related to Adrienne Staples, the Mayor of South Wairarapa.  Queries regarding clarification have been ignored, so we will publish the name, and the claimed link, until advised otherwise.

The rest of the Minutes of the meetings of the Carterton Community Centre reveal a pattern of gross mismanagement and criminal activity by a group of people associated with the Carterton District Council, and will be uploaded to the internet soon so all can see the true abilities of Elaine Brazendale, Ruth Carter, Jill Greathead, etc, to manage an organisation.  They document a pattern of incompetence, corruption, fraud and theft over many years.

Carterton District Councillors ELAINE BRAZENDALE and RUTH CARTER were party to this particular theft. They were the instigators of it. Councillor Jill Greathead, Council staff Ewen Hyde, Julie Hallam, Martyn Preece and others were involved in this blatant fraud and in the concealment of it.

$7500 was paid in cash and a number of capital assets including computers, trailer, etc, were handed over to the claimant, this was typical of the activities of the committee of the Carterton Community Centre and the people associated with the Carterton District Council. The Centre was operated as a slush fund for a group of individuals who have had their snouts in the trough for far too long. Let Georgina Beyer and Gary McPhee and their mates try and get a real job and support themselves instead of bludging off the taxpayers and ripping off the disadvantaged members of our community - who in their right mind would hire an unemployed transvestite prostitute to teach the young people of the town "Life Skills"?  - Elaine Brazendale and Ruth Carter would, that's who!
