Masterton Court Manager Mark Elliott has condoned and encouraged his staff to pervert the course of justice for years and years, and the involvement of Court staff and local police in depravity and corruption is legendary.
Mark Elliott's latest email reflects the contempt he has for the law, as well as his corrupt arrogance. He claimed (in an email evidenced at the link in the paragraph above this one) that I was sent a letter from the Court telling me that the Court had moved address. He claimed that the letter had been returned to the Court marked "Gone - no address". This is extremely unlikely, because my landlord and landlady would have passed it on to me if it had been delivered to the address I live at, they're very reliable.
"from: Mark Elliott to: Katherine Raue date: 17 December 2012 10:57 subject: Re: Minute of Judge Hobbs
In reply to your questions You were notified of a change of date in January for your February appearance but this was returned saying you no longer lived at that address and we did not have any other mail address for you we have not sent any further notices out. "
My response:"Where is the EVIDENCE of this latest load of codswallop from you! Forward to me immediately a copy of the envelope of the letter you allege was returned to you - I'm most interested to see where you DID address it to! I think you're a blatant LIAR - I've lived at this address for years - the address of a person who you know very well indeed because she used to work in your Court and with whom you are in regular contact - did you bother to pick up the phone and ask her if I lived there or not and if not whether she had a forwarding address - of course not - because you're a blatant LIAR!If it WAS returned to you it will be on my file and I request it be provided immediately.Katherine Raue"
Here's the typically rude response from him:
"attached"
- That's all the email said - "attached" - how much are we paying public servants to fob people off like this? This is outrageous behaviour and it's high time it was stopped - Elliott must be sacked!
Here's the letter he reckons he sent - note that the Court date stamp shows that it was apparently posted only the day before the hearing anyway - what's the point of that? - I wouldn't have received it till after the hearing anyway if that was the case! Furthermore, Mr Elliott knows the people who I rent accommodation from very well indeed - they used to work in his Court and it defies belief that he or any other member of the Court staff wouldn't have rung their friend and colleague (name and address withheld to protect their privacy) and asked why the letter had been returned! What an insult to the intelligence this is! I don't believe Elliott, no rational person would either, there is simply too much evidence on this website regarding his blatant corruption, and the ongoing conspiracy between the Court deputy registrar Liz Harpleton and the police prosecutor Gary Wilson who pervert the course of justice on a regular basis!
I requested the original envelope be sent to me by courier because it is my property, like all mail addressed to me. Elliott has refused the request because he knows he is lying, and continuing to pervert the course of justice.
Here are the emails:
I want to see this envelope - why does it show NO ADDRESS on it??? Why is the address obscured??? That handwriting belongs to NOBODY at this address - and what's your excuse for not phoning [name deleted to protect privacy]?! Please COURIER (signature required) the original envelope which you claim is photocopied in the image below to me at 243 High St North Carterton without delay!
Two days ago (25th February) I received this from Mark Elliott:
"It is a NZ post sticker and why they put it over the address who knows. You can come in and inspect it on the file. We will not be sending it out. Why should we ring [name deleted to protect privacy]. Its your case and we have sent details through the pos (sic)
Mark Elliott Satellite Court Manager Ministry of JusticeTahu o te Ture P O Box 461Masterton ph (06) 3700238"
Taxpayer's money is funding corruption on a massive scale in this country! I didn't trespass at Smith Hare and Christison, and the police know that perfectly well, they also know that two of the staff at that particular Mobil garage stole money from my bank account by lying about the eftpos machine being out of order and then conducting a "manual eftpos transaction" scam - for which they have never been charged because the corrupt local police refused to investigate. This prosecution is a scandalous abuse of power, abuse of taxpayer resources and funds, and it is a criminal attempt to pervert the course of justice. The appeal was successful, and the envelope is directly relevant to the rehearing - not to mention it is legally MY PROPERTY:
"19 - Obligation to pass on postal articles
(1) Subject to sections 5 to 11 and to sections 16 and 17, where a postal article that has not been delivered comes into the possession of a person other than the addressee, that person must deliver it to—
(a)the addressee"
This is what happened when we complained to Police about the previous postmaster, Paul Fafieta, who changed the lock on the postbox belonging to the Carterton Community Centre to prevent me accessing the mail - I was the Secretary and Treasurer of the Centre - Fafieta conspired with this wife's employer, Mark Hinton, of the law firm Wollerman Cooke and McClure! Hinton made a corrupt complaint that he knew full well was an orchestrated litany of lies, about me, to the police. Sgt G N Reid wrote this to my lawyer after the lawyer wrote to police asking for them to investigate the formal complaints I had made against the persons who Hinton was acting for, corrupt District Councillors, Council employees, etc - who all had major conflicts of interest - the Council was a major funder of the Centre and the group on the committee had been ripping off all the funding for YEARS! Lakshman also asked for the police decision regarding the formal complaint from Mark Hinton. Here's Sgt Reid's letter to Kamil Lakshman of Ainslie Hewton law firm:
"Dear Kamil, On 8th May 2001 Mark Hinton, solicitor (Wollerman Cooke and McClure) complained to police on behalf of the Carterton Community Centre about Katherine Raue possessing property belonging to the Carterton Community Centre.
The complaint has been investigated by Senior Constable Wakefield of the Carterton police.
Raue does not dispute possession of property belonging to the Carterton Community Centre.
Possession does not necessarily constitute theft, or any other offence.
In order to obtain a search warrant to seize property, police must establish that an offence punishable by imprisonment has been committed.
the police investigation has not established that Raue has stolen or fraudulently dealt with any of the property, therefore Police cannot obtain a search warrant to seize the property.
Kamil Lakshman, solicitor acting for Raue, has confirmed that Raue is taking legal action regarding personal and industrial disputes she has with the Carterton Community Centre and claims that the property is relevant to the disputes..
Lakshman has confirmed that Raue is willing to hand the property over to an independent person as opposed to the Carterton Community Centre.
Senior Wakefield had facilitated a meeting between Raue and the Carterton Community Centre to arrange the return of the property, [to meet with the auditor appointed, R G Thompson] but on 5th June a representative of the Carterton Community Centre (Elaine Brazendale) advised Constable Wakefield that the Carterton Community Centre had declined to meet with Raue.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or Senior Constable Wakefield should you require further information regarding this matter, or should further information come to light. Yours faithfully, Sgt G N Reid, NZ Police"
I offered to hand the information to an independent auditor, Councillor Jill Greathead approached R G Thompson to do this but Mr Thompson confirmed to her that there was evidence of fraud by her mates on the Council so she told him that his services were not required!
Local police commander Brent Register has refused to respond to any of my written communication apart from making a request that I come to Masterton and meet with him to discuss the written communication verbally - yeah, RIGHT! I expect a WRITTEN response as I have repeatedly requested! Here are the emails between me and the Police Area Commander - who certainly seems to be copying his modus operandi from the previous CORRUPT Area Commanders.
4th April 2012 from me to Brent Register and Brett Callander, NZ Police:
" I called into the Wellington station recently because local police in the Wairarapa are refusing to take complaints or investigate them properly, and responses to previous communications have been untrue. I was assaulted by an officer last weekend in front of witnesses after I repeatedly asked to sign the statement I had made to her regarding at least five formal complaints including obtaining money by false pretences, assaults (witnessed), intimidation and threats (witnessed), deliberately releasing a horse onto a main highway (witnessed), using a telephone device to falsely ring the animal control officer and lie (supported by evidence which police refuse to obtain), impersonating a land owner and telling animal control the animal was forbidden to be in the paddock (an outright lie), etc, etc. This officer was Constable Mia Wilton, and Constable Cunningham was involved also. This needs URGENT attention - Leonard Kevin SPOWART needs arresting immediately and charging with assault and the other offences!
These complaints were made previously also, and police lied about being "at the address" when they didn't respond AT ALL on that occasion (we called 111) - we need an email address for an appropriate contact person who is going to deal with these matters.
There is also the matter of Tara Sewell of Police National HQ lying about the existence of a file, who is her supervisor please and can you provide me with an email address for that person, I understand Ms Sewell works at police national HQ."
- Tara Sewell lied about the file referred to in the letter from Sgt G N Reid to my lawyer, which confirmed my legitimacy regarding the affairs, possession of property etc, regarding the Carterton Community Centre, and the refusal of Elaine Brazendale and others involved with the Carterton District Council to co-operate with the police inquiry or the auditing of the financial records! When I requested all information from the file referred to in Sgt Reid's letter regarding the police investigations into the theft of the mail and all other funds and assets of the Carterton Community Centre and the illegal takeover and serious assaults, etc, Sewell's response was "the file doesn't exist."
Of course it doesn't, because police refused to investigate the crimes, and instead indulged in a continuing personal and politically motivated vendetta, as evidenced by letters from a growing number of senior lawyers, and funded by our taxes! It's no wonder Wairarapa regularly has twice the national rate of suicide. Back to the emails between me and Brent Register the Area Commander:
8th June 2012, email from me to Brent Register (Police), IPCA, et al:
"Dear Sir,
Regarding ongoing corruption and overdue information requests; I received a letter dated 6 June from Det R Wasson in response to my requests under the Privacy Act and OIA for all information regarding myself and regarding complaints made by or against me; there are a number of matters that require urgent attention:
- The information provided consists of pages numbered 1 to 43, which are copies of electronic records, and four pages of Constable Dallinger's notebook. This is the tip of the iceberg, it is nowhere near all the information, and furthermore, it is an orchestrated litany of lies. I request all job sheets and ALL OTHER INFORMATION, including all records of the many phone calls I have made from my phone - 027 359 1586 or any other phone, to 111, *555, or any other police number.
- Regarding page 1 of the electronic notes, the "summary of facts' is missing (which seems to be the case with most of the 43 pages); the following correction is required: "I did not harass Donoghue. Donoghue assaulted me and police continue to corruptly refuse to charge him or prosecute him for it. Raue did NOT breach her Court bail, the photographs were taken from quite some distance away, Donoghue has a history of sexual assault and other serious crimes from what he told me and a history of making inappropriate and unwelcome physical advances to women as was the case on this occasion."
- Donoghue needs to be charged with assaulting me without further delay. I complained to the police on several occasions about it and was laughed at and told to piss off, while a prosecution was proceeded with on the basis of Donoghue's lies against me.
- Likewise Larry Manson needs to be charged with assaulting me, as letters to your predecessors from various local lawyers confirm,because exactly the same corrupt injustice happened regarding that assault on me by Manson and it is outrageous that police continue to refuse to charge these offenders while they corruptly try and prosecute me on the basis of lies instead.
- Pages 1 and 2 of the electronic printout refer to two incidents regarding assaults on me by a man known as Lenny Spowart otherwise known as Lenny Kawana and various other aliases. I request that you immediately provide me with ALL INFORMATION regarding the many complaints to police regarding these assaults, etc that have occured at 9 Plimsoll St involving Spowart (and all the other information I asked for) - including the statement Constable Mia Wilton was forced to write in her notebook the day she and Constable Cunningham attended at 9 Plimsoll St and witnessed formal complaints from myself and Mrs Diane White and her son Leon and his partner Lisa regarding (1) the several assaults on Lisa and myself by Spowart, (2) the theft or obtaining money by false pretences involving the reward paid by Karla Farrar or whatever her name is for the return of the dog Diane White had been caring for, which Lenny Spowart and Merlene Chambers conspired to defraud Diane White out of, (3) the assault on me which Diane White told both Constables in the presence of her son and his partner she had witnessed at close range, when this creep hit me over the head with the large bag he was carrying and spat in my face, (4) the repeated trespass and intimidation, exploitation, blackmail and manipulation of Diane White by Lenny Spowart, as described by all four of us, (5) the fact that Spowart deliberately (and criminally) released our horse from the paddock owned by Dianne White, onto the main road, then rang the Council animal control officer who told me that Spowart had lied and claimed he was "Mr White" and that the horse was not allowed in the paddock, which of course was a deliberate lie - we all asked police to obtain the telephone records of this call to the animal control officer from Lenny Spowart and asked police to obtain a statement from the animal control officer confirming this had occurred and a witness statement from Diane White who was present when it occured, Spowart boasted of releasing the horse and it is outrageous that police refuse to charge him with any of this! What is even more outrageous is that after all four of us told all this to Constables Wilton and Cunningham, they told us there was nothing they could do except issue Spowart with a trespass notice. I insisted that they take a statement and formal complaint from me regarding the assaults and a statement from Diane White who witnessed it. Wilton eventually, and reluctantly, took a statement, she then refused repeatedly to allow me to finish signing it, snatching it away from me and laughing and saying she would not be doing anything about our complaints apart from issuing a trespass notice - this is outright corruption and we are all sick of police protecting these repeat violent offenders! (6) Spowart is clearly very delusional - he thinks he is Mr White - he tells everyone - including Karla Farrar - he is Diane White's "partner" or husband in order to con her out of the $1,000 reward offered for the dog, etc, she is afraid of him and he blackmails her with threats of cruelty to animals such as that demonstrated when he deliberately released the horse onto the road - he needs urgently detaining in a psychiatric institution until he learns that he is NOT Mr White and is NOT Diane White's partner - apparently Diane White has told police this a considerable number of times according to her and her family and this is apparently evidenced by a number of trespass notices barring him from her property, he gives her pills, which, added to those she is taking on prescription, lead to her becoming confused - she has told me this, and she told Constables Wilton and Cunningham - when she is confused he returns and carries on where he left off, using her to wash his clothes, borrow the large amount of property Diane White told Cunningham and Wilton he has of hers and won't return, etc!
- At the bottom of page 2 of the electronic notes it refers to 4 x trespass noticesserved on me - please provide ALL INFORMATION regarding these notices, why police served them - evidence of any complaint or alleged offence, etc.
- The "summary of facts" beginning at the bottom of page 3 is an orchestrated litany of lies, a correction will be provided shortly.
- This is a formal complaint regarding the deletion of the information on page number 4 of the electronic notes regarding an allegation of dangerous driving - a FALSE allegation! - I was nowhere near either the vehicle described or the location of the alleged crime so this needs correcting! Who was the complainant - this is another deliberate, malicious false complaint! "A light coloured blue Nissan reg ASE 610 overtaking at speed" indeed - what LIES! Please provide the deleted information immediately in the interests of justice!
- I also request immediately a copy of a statement made by a witness who was present when Hayden Rose smashed a window in my house at 13 Brooklyn Rd on 27.5.09, this CRIME is referred to on page 34 of the notes and Hayden Rose needs to be charged without delay for smashing the window and threatening me and threatening to damage the property of my guests, and trespassing! The only reason he hasn't been is because his mother has been having it off with Constable Steve Wakefield for years! The witness will confirm that the crimes took place and that police have ignored her statement!
- Michael Francis Murphy needs to be charged for the attack on me at 13 Brooklyn Rd on 11.2.09 and subsequent burglary to get rid tof evidence without further delay - the longer this is delayed the more this is delayed the greater the corruption and injustice. Three independent witnesses as well as me all described it as a violent home invasion, and rang 111 accordingly, all the evidence against Murphy is overwhelming, and this is a formal complaint against Constable Cunningham for attempting to pervert the course of justice and conspiring with Constable Laura Rhymer and others to do so, regarding both the attack itself and the subsequent burglary to try and get rid of the evidence!
- I repeat my request for the recording of the call to 111 from Kelly Wilson and Clare Cook who witnessed the attack, it is NOT one of the 46 tracks on the disk provided in response to my request for this recording, and I request it be provided without further delay, the refusal to do so it further attempt to pervert the course of justice. I WAS attacked by Murphy and he DID burgle my house to remove the evidence of the attack. The evidence clearly and indisputably establishes that this was a serious violent attack and it was planned and premeditated. Murphy also has a long history of violence and imprisonment according to many witnesses and other victims.
- I request a copy of the file numbered 010518/2481 WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY - this is the file referred to in the letter to lawyer Ainslie Hewton from Sgt Reid of the Masterton police, regarding our complaints - supported by a substantial petition (two in fact) regarding the FRAUD and serious misfeasance including lies by member of parliament on parliamentary letterhead denying the fraud, at the former Carterton Communtiy Centre! These allegations have been backed up by letters from a growing number of lawyers and it's time they were addressed!
- Constable Cunningham made comments to Dr Justin Barry-Walsh about me which are referred to in his report, and this false information was used to lock me up for allegedly being "delusional" and I request all information about the conversation they had. Cunningham deliberately LIED and I will be writing more on this shortly. Cunningham allegedly said I had a history of involvement with police "when she previously was living in Wellington" - what a lie! I request Cunningham explain this deliberate lie immediately!
- I request copies of all police emails regarding me and especially the one from Sgt Basher to Sgt Johnston which says the following inter alia: "Kevin Basher---07/09/2010 07:47:45---Something needs to be looked at regarding RAUE using her 'Blog" to make statements regarding our staff"
- I request all information about the South End School and an urgent inquiry into the matters regarding myself the School and the police, including ALL INFORMATION regarding the matters referred to on page 36 and 37 of the electronic notes. I wish to make a formal complaint immediately regarding intimidation of me by Ray Craig recently and other matters involving the South End School and the lies told about me!
To be continued - these matters are urgent - I was assaulted and threatened at the address by Spowart again yesterday and made a statement to Constable Kevin Brown at the Carterton police station - Spowart needs locking up and Cunningham and Wilton should have done it when they were asked to by the four of us last time - please provide ALL INFORMATION including Wilton and Cunningham's notebook entries regarding this incident and all calls to police from me regarding the matters - at one point we were told that "police are at the address" - well they were NOT and they were having a good laugh about it instead - the police car remained parked at the station despite numerous calls throughout the day after Spowart returned after the initial assault on that occasion! We are sick of this outrageous corruption and the manner in which corrupt officers protect violent criminals - please confirm that Constable Wilton has been the subject of other complaints of corruption and then do something to address what is obvious corruption! Police have refused to take complaints from me regarding a considerable number of matters and I request that this is addressed immediately. "
Email sent 4 July 2012 from me to Brent Register:
Formal Complaints:
Further to my email of 8 June to which I do not seem to have had the courtesy of a response:
I was assaulted by a local constable, Mia Wilton, on Saturday 31 March, and she refused to allow me to sign a statement of formal complaint which was written in her notebook in front of three witnesses, regarding serious matters including assault, obtaining money by false pretences, theft, and deliberately releasing a horse onto the main road and using a telephone to lie to animal control officers, and other offences, by local criminal Lenny Spowart, who has a number of aliases. Constable Wilton and Constable Cunningham were asked to come to the address by Leon White and his partner Lisa and his mother Diane and I and I we were unanimous is asking that he be charged with assault, making threats and intimidating a number of visitors and family members at the address, the deliberate release of our horse and subsequent phone call to Council animal control officers - we also asked police to obtain the telephone records relating to the phone call to animal control officers saying that the horse wasn't allowed in the paddock from Spowart, who claimed to be Mr White. We told the Constables that Spowart needs urgent psychiatric evaluation because telling the officers he was Mr White indicates - proves - he is delusional, and his actions in releasing the horse and assaulting me mean that his delusions pose a serious risk to other people.
We unanimously asked that he be charged with assaulting me, Diane White confirmed to the constables, in front of her son and his partner, that she had witnessed him assault me, threaten and abuse me on numerous occasions, and release the horse onto the road deliberately. We all asked that police ensure it as a condition of his bail that he not come anywhere near the property, instead of just issuing a trespass notice as on previous occasions. Police should have also ensured he not contact witnesses in the case, including Diane White. Her son and his partner tell us that Diane has called police many times regarding Spowart's behaviour and they refuse to act - charge him with assaulting me and releasing the horse deliberately without further delay, and provide all information regarding my numerous phone calls to police about these matters!
Repeated visits to the Masterton and Carterton police stations to make formal complaints have failed to result in any action being taken, and the response to my recent information request is an insult to the intelligence, and an orchestrated litany of lies - over two years ago I requested all information regarding Constable Cunningham's conversation about me with psychiatrist Dr Barry-Walsh and have still not received it! According to Dr Barry-Walsh's report Constable Cunningham told him that I had a history of making vexatious complaints to police "when she previously lived in Wellington" - please provide all information about this immediately - along with a letter of apology because this is a pack of lies as he knows perfectly well!
Regarding the assault, fraud and related matters:
I know Mrs Diane White of 9 Plimsoll St because she allows us to graze the community garden horses in the paddock behind her house and we are friends. She had two dogs, one elderly black one and another reddish brown one which she told me her son had picked up when it was running loose on the motorway near Hamilton or somewhere thereabouts. In early March Diane told me that Merlene Chambers/Hetaraka/Shedlock had contacted a woman who was apparently offering a reward of $1000 for the dog on the internet. Merlene refused to give the woman Diane's phone number or contact details, and insisted on conducting the negotiations with the owner of the dog herself. She arranged for the woman to meet with Diane at the home of Merlene's friend, Lenny Spowart, and for the woman to hand the reward money directly to Lenny Spowart instead of to Diane White. This occurred on or about Wednesday 7th March. On about the 9th March Diane came to see me, she was anxious and upset, she told me that Lenny had taken the money and only given her $20 of it, and that he and Merlene had bought alcohol and cannabis and paid off Lenny's debts with the rest of it, and she was felt he and Merlene had obtained the money by false pretences and intimidation.
On 10th March Lenny Spowart approached me outside the Carterton supermarket and started a conversation about how he was going to come and visit me, I asked him about Diane's money and he confirmed that he spent it on his debts, alcohol and cannabis. I told him he should be ashamed of himself for ripping off an old lady to feed his drug habit, whereupon he started to abuse and threaten me, and I left.
Later that day Diane's son Leon arrived at her house and we discussed the matter and Diane asked me to email Karla Farrar, the woman who had given Lenny Spowart the money instead of giving it to Diane and ask her how much she gave him and whether she gave anyone else any money regarding the recovery of the dog, such as Merlene. I sent a polite email explaining what had happened and offering to give her contact details for Diane's son and his partner in order to confirm what I was saying. Ms Farrar's response was rude and abusive, but after more negotiations she agreed to pay Diane more money after she realised that trying to recover the money from Spowart was a waste of time, and that she shouldn't have given it to him in the first place. Diane told me and Leon and his partner that Lenny regularly intimidated and bullied her, that he regularly broke into her house at night, that he had bullied and intimidated her visitors and two flatmates who had both moved out because of it (one of them confirmed this to me personally). She told us that she had asked the police to trespass him numerous times in the past but he was manipulative and took advantage of her medication induced confusion, etc, - also that he gave her pills and caused the medication induced confusion - which is stupification - a crime! There are many witnesses to attest that Diane looked after the dog, not Lenny, and that Diane has been complaining about him stealing money and property from her on many previous occasions, 'borrowing' her belongings and taking them to his house, etc.

Thank you for your email, unfortunately I won't be in the Wairarapa on 23rd August. I would like all the information requested in the emails provided without delay pleaseincluding the statement I made to Constable Wilton at 9 Plimsoll St recently.
Please see to it that Rachel Betteridge and her husband are charged with sending me those messages saying "you need a bullet" and "watch your back" and with perjury without further delay - I was charged and prosecuted for the same offence when there was evidence I didn't do it and none whatsoever to support the prosecution so police are obliged to charge her on the basis of the EVIDENCE provided including the signed statements from George Groombridge JP and Ken English JP. Police never contacted Vodafone and continue to refuse to do so regarding the forensic evidence of who sent who any offensive and threatening messages - please secure this evidence without delay and provide an explanation for why a prosecution was proceeded with against me when there was no evidence and why police did not even bother to contact Vodafone and then lied in Court and said they tried - they've already admitted there is no evidence of this because it didn't happen and police lied in saying they tried - they made no effort deliberately because they knew it was a false, vexatious and malicious prosecution and a total and utter abuse of the Court process and their statutory powers.
Also provide without delay all information regarding the emails sent between various staff about me including the one from Sgt Basher to Sgt Johnston (referred to in the emails) without further delay please.
Also, would you please acknowledge that the following complaint has never been addressed and has been deliberately and corruptly ignored - and get on with investigating it without further delay please: "16 February 2008Your Honour, Re: Kate Raue – your ref 05-0761/ghe:bpd
- Thank you for your letter of 1 February 2008, enclosing the documents sought.
- The letter of complaint dated 8 June 2007 contained a further paragraph 5 that appears to have been inadvertently deleted from the actual letter which you received.
- I attach a copy of the letter as it should have been, and you will note that Mrs Raue wished a further separate investigation into the reluctance of the Masterton Police to actually investigate the frauds and illegal takeover of the Carterton Community Centre, frauds which her previous lawyer, Mr Ken Daniels, himself believed to have been committed.
- This protest at the refusal by the Masterton Police to investigate these matters was explicit in the paragraph 5 that was inadvertently omitted from the letter actually sent to you.
- In spite of the implicit complaint against Police Officer Murray Johnston in paragraph 4, the response ignores this.
- A copy of the response from the Masterton Police to me dated 22 November 2007 was sent to me at the address of the Police Complaints Authority, PO Box 5025 Wellington, and it was finally resent to me on 10 December 2007, but not received by me until 5th February.
- It seems from that response by Inspector Johnston that he has not addressed the refusal to investigate the fraud by Sgt Murray Johnston. Are the two men related?
- The protest in the complaint at the refusal by the Police to investigate these allegations was certainly made explicit in the missing paragraph 5, but it is clear from paragraph 4 that this refusal by Sgt Murray Johnston should have been investigated by Inspector Johnston. It was not.
- His response dated 22 November 2007 makes no reference to it at all, and in view of the inability of the Authority to complete its investigation for several more weeks (as advised to me by your office on 5 February 2008), there appears to be time for the Authority to ask the Masterton Police as to why they treated the original complaint into fraud in such a cavalier way, when Mr Daniels had clearly indicated that he himself had serious concerns.
- A further example of their cavalier attitude is contained in their letter of 28 July 2003, attached “A”, to Mrs Raue, as if the Mayor and MP, Georgina Beyer, were sacrosanct, and immune from investigation.
- Please investigate Officer Murray Johnston’s behaviour, as well as the other breaches of Mrs Raue’s human rights as set out in the actual letter sent to you by me on the 8th June 2007.
- I look forward to your advice as to this further explicit complaint, as well as the other complaints regarding the breaches of Mrs Raue’s rights.
- Moreover the response dated 22 November 2007 by Inspector Johnston, at page 3, comments that it is standard policy and practice at the Masterton police station not to have accepted Mrs Raue’s handbag from her friend Mr Allomes even though her medicine was in it, yet another admission by the Police that their particular branch appears to ignore the fundamental right set out more particularly by me in the “Twenty Third Breach” that “everyone deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the person.”
- The Police could have quite easily searched the handbag, and confiscated any items that they thought were inappropriate, before giving the handbag containing her personal items and medicine to Mrs Raue.
- Moreover, Inspector Johnston’s comment in his penultimate paragraph, that “from the Doctors observations of her, he was able to give an opinion, which was that she did not require medication at the time” is simply quite untrue.
- A copy of the relevant Trial transcript containing the Doctor’s evidence is attached “B” from which it can be seen that the Police Doctor, Dr McGrath actually stated under oath that he did not even recall seeing Mrs Raue at the police station, at all, and that he had no record of seeing her.
- Although Inspector Johnston has conceded in his response that a number of Mrs Raue’s rights were breached, I believe it was appropriate, really, that he address each and every breach of Mrs Raue’s rights as set out in my letter: i.e: all twenty seven breaches individually, rather than the selective approach he has taken, merely responding to four of the criticisms by Judge Behrens, or the five matters he chooses to deal with as set out on page 2 of his letter.
- It would have been of more assistance, surely, if Inspector Johnston had dealt on a thorough and professional basis with the twenty seven breaches complained of.
- It should also be noted that Inspector Johnston was actually rung up personally the day after the political meeting by Mr Kennedy, a concerned citizen who was aghast at the treatment meted out to Mrs Raue.
- Inspector Johnston however refused to either interfere in the prosecution of Mrs Raue, or to order his officers to at least question, and take statements from, other more neutral witnesses.
- Inspector Johnston’s own behaviour in this sorry saga seems to not be beyond reproach, and it appears inappropriate that he has conducted the investigation. A neutral Investigator would be more appropriate to investigate the background of the behaviour of the local police, rather than the local Inspector, who seems part of the problem.
Yours sincerely,
- I would be grateful if you would advise the Authority’s next step, and the time frame within which you expect the complaint to be finalised.
Michael Appleby "I also request also that Michael Murphy be charged for the attack on me at 13 Brooklyn Rd on 11 February 2009 without further delay and that an investigation be conducted without delay into the refusal of police to charge Gary McPhee with the home invasion in 2007 which is referred to in emails between myself and Sgt Johnston please! I witnessed the attack and made a formal complaint and so did at least two of the victims which I also witnessed and the continued refusal to charge McPhee is an utter insult to justice!-
Sent today, 27 February 2013 to the Court Manager and the Police Area Commander:Further to my earlier email (attached), please provide all information referred to in the comments made by Constable Peter Cunningham to Dr Justin Barry-Walsh regarding a "similar pattern when she previously lived in Wellington" - I require a full explanation of this comment and an immediate acknowledgement that it is untrue and misleading and that I had almost nothing to do with police when I lived in Wellington!
K Raue
To Mark Elliott, Manager, Masterton Court:FORMAL COMPLAINT
I note that you have failed to respond to the matters contained in earlier emails which will now be put on the internet and the complaints escalated.
Section 19 (1) (a) of the Postal Services Act 1998 No 2 is perfectly clear:"19 - Obligation to pass on postal articles (1) Subject to sections 5 to 11 and to sections 16 and 17, where a postal article that has not been delivered comes into the possession of a person other than the addressee, that person must deliver it to— (a) the addressee"Get on with it and stop perverting the course of justice and wasting tax payer's time and money - what an insult to justice you are. You should be charged with contempt of Court.

FORMAL COMPLAINTBrent Register,I note that you have failed to respond to my earlier emails which will now be put on the internet and the complaints escalated.Police have refused to charge Paul Fafieta (ex manager of the NZ Post Office in Carterton) for changing the locks of the post box belonging to the Carterton Community Centre and facilitating the theft of the mail which I was legally entitled to possession of - in accordance with the letter from the NZ Police to my lawyer Kamil Lakshman - this is a FORMAL COMPLAINT - what part of that do you not understand?Secondly, the manager of the Masterton Court, Mark Elliott, has refused to hand over to me a letter which was sent through the mail (or so he alleges although I certainly doubt it) - which is a breach of section 19 (1) (a) of the Postal Service Act 1998 - as is the offence committed by Paul Fafieta.Please charge these criminals without delay - and provide responses to my previous communications immediately - this is a FORMAL COMPLAINT.
