Kelvyn Alp's call for review of decision successful:

After five years Kelvyn Alp, founder of the OURNZ Party has been the only politician in New Zealand to get any results from the ongoing complaints to the Ombudsmen the Board of Trustees of the South End School in Carterton and others, about the blatant bullying, and slanderous and defamatory allegations being made by the Board and others associated with the school and the community, previously complained of by a number of senior lawyers and referred to by them as "politically motivated corruption", against former members of staff who made a huge contribution to the school, not only feeding the kids, but teaching and supporting the students to grow their own kai, prepare it, preserve it, trade it, as well as a number of other important life skills, including an extremely successful suicide prevention program.

The Privacy Commissioner's Office and Dawn Swan in particular have been involved in the conspiracy to pervert the course of justice regarding this matter.  After initially attempting to resolve the matter with the Board, in accordance with appropriate policies and procedures, I complained to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner after I received this letter from the Board of Trustees of the South End School, which contains the false allegation that I had been recently charged by Police with an offence involving a child - I have never been charged with any offence involving a child in my life and I told the Deputy Principal of the South End School several weeks prior to receiving this astounding letter:

Dawn Swan repeatedly lied about the facts regarding the matter, and refused to investigate the matter at all, instead conjuring up a fictional version of events in her own mind including the preposterous allegation that I was the one who had told the Board the slanderous and defamatory allegations.  Dawn Swan maintained this lie in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and so did the Board of Trustees.

Thanks to the commitment and integrity of Kelvyn Alp the Ombudsmen were forced to reopen the investigation into these complaints, and forced to admit the truth, which has now opened a much larger can of worms, revealing clear and indisputable evidence that Kelvyn Alp and I were right all along - and not delusional at all - the evidence proves indisputably that there has been a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice regarding these matters which has involved tax payer corruption at the highest levels, including former Chief Ombudsman Beverly Wakem, who repeatedly refused to investigate the claims against Dawn Swan and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner despite all the evidence of blatant corruption in the manner in which Swan repeatedly claimed that I was the source of the allegations and that the school had sought or received no information from Police - which was a blatant lie as Kelvyn Alp pointed out.

Thanks to the perseverance and professionalism of Kelvyn Alp I finally received this pathetic excuse for an 'apology' from the Board of Trustees:

This rude letter is signed by none other than Elaine Scully, school secretary and Chief Witch Hunter.  It should be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Logan Bathurst, Elaine Scully should have been sacked after she was forced to apologise for calling a young Maori student a "lying little bitch" several years ago.

Elaine Scully owes me several other apologies too, and they are long overdue.

For a start she owes me an apology for wasting Police time and making a false complaint to Police regarding her delusional allegations that I "stole" correspondence regarding the bullying and unlawful sacking of Wayne Rogers, a former groundsman at the South End School, from the letterbox of former Board member Emily Brown.  I did no such thing - I was handed the letters by the parent of a child who was in the same class as one of Emily Brown's four children, and both children have the same first name.  Emily Brown gave the letters to the wrong child, and the child's mother (and the child, if necessary) will confirm this in sworn evidence in a Court when the time comes.

On 1 May 2011 I sent the following email to the Statutory Manager appointed by the Ministry of Education, who had identified that the Board was incompetent and appointed the Statutory Manager:

Hi Ken,

I understand that you are the Statutory Manager appointed to the South End School, and have been asked to write to you regarding issues around the management and administration of the school.

I was recently handed correspondence between the school and Wayne Rogers, regarding the termination of his employment at the school, which seems to mirror the way I was treated (attached).  I've also been contacted by a number of people who have also complained about the school, including the family of a young girl who was called a "lying little bitch" - as in "You're nothing but a lying little bitch" by Elaine Scully, who is also responsible for this confidential correspondence ending up in my hands and the hands of a number of other people.  Many people said that Mrs Scully, Mr O'Leary, Ms Powell and other staff and members of the Board of Trustees have been spreading rumours throughout the community that I am a child abuser, and making similar allegations about Wayne Rogers.

I received a letter from the Board of Trustees which is attached.  Also attached is a note of thanks I received at the end of the year (2008).  The last paragraph of the letter to me, and the thank you note, make a mockery of the school's current position on the matter, and of the Court proceedings brought against me by Rod O'Leary and the former groundsman Thomas Smith.

I've also received copies of correspondence between the school and the Armstrong family about me, which frankly disgust me because they contain nasty and untrue accusations.  Furthermore, Board of Trustees member Emily Brown came to the Armstrong's home and made a number of derogatory statements about me and about how Emily had contacted Police and mental health authorities about me after I politely requested that she arrange a meeting between and the Board about this correspondence I had received containing the untrue allegation that I was a danger to the children.  Emily Brown is an adulterous liar, who has acknowledged (and boasted about) the fact that she was having it off with George Smith while still married to and living with her husband.  Emily's mother and brother committed suicide, and it disgusts many people in the community that she is going around to homes like the Armstrongs, spreading her nasty spiteful UNTRUE rumours, and causing hatred and division in the community.  She claimed to be representing the Board on this visit, which disgusted us even more.  She should resign from the Board immediately, her adultery and lies disgusts decent people in the community.  

I request the immediate return of everything I brought to the school, including the large sign, tools, hoses, plants, etc.

I request that the school write immediately to [name deleted to protect privacy] and apologise to him for distributing his correspondence and breaching his privacy.  He deserves the job as groundsman for all his voluntary work for the school!  The way the Board treats volunteers is disgraceful!

I request that you inform me immediately: 

(1) specifically what information (referred to in the correspondence) the school received about me that led them to believe I was (or "could have been") a danger to the children, and 

(2) from whom specifically the Board (or O'Leary) received this information.

The correspondence to the Armstrongs is outrageous, the two letters to them clearly contain allegations that I am a danger to the kids, O'Leary knows perfectly well that I never told him any such thing, and that there was no meeting until AFTER I received the letter sacking me, ex Deputy Principal Dallas Powell knows this too. They know perfectly well that the local corrupt police officer told him the lies about me being charged, not me, as he is not dishonestly inferring!  The visit to the Armstrong's by Emily Brown was equally outrageous and she should resign immediately because of that alone - how dare she go around the community breaching my privacy and spreading lies like this!!!?  How unprofessional!  I requested a meeting with the Board!

I request an immediate meeting with the Board to discuss the letter which I received from Gavin Kennedy. The last paragraph promises me my job back if I am "acquitted of the charges withdrawn" - there never were any charges as everyone knows, and I want my job back without further delay please.

I understand you were appointed on 1 October 2010.  How is it then that Wayne Rogers was hired and fired by Rod O'Leary and the Board if you were specifically appointed to manage employment issues (among other things)?

I look forward to your urgent response.

Transparency in New Zealand

Shortly afterwards I received this email from Elaine Scully - further evidence of her incompetence and of the dishonesty of the Board and the other parties, the Privacy Commissioner, Ombudsmen, etc, who all denied any information about me existed - more and more is being revealed all the time while they continue to blatantly lie:

Hi Ken

We have had the attached email in from Kate. 

I spoke with Emily yesterday to try and ascertain how she got the attached letters.  Emily is sure she has stolen them from her letterbox.  Unfortunately for us, Emily has admitted that she often doesn’t clear her letterbox (which is on the main street) for days at a time. 

I have not responsible for this info getting into Kate’s hands as she states.  I phone Emily or leave a message on her answerphone every time I drop mail into her letterbox.  The only other way I give her board info is to hand it to her son Zac and ask him to take it home (this is usually non important info).

We have phoned the Police and asked them to come down to track this for us.

Any advice?  Do you want me to inform all the board members about what is happening?  Ray [Ray Craig, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees] was in the office this morning so I have informed him.

Cheers

Elaine.

I emailed Scully on the 3rd March 2011 asking for an apology and I'm still waiting.  She gave the letters to another Zac by mistake.  This is absolutely typical of the dysfunction, bullying, incompetence and corruption of the governance and the Board of Trustees of the South End School, the ministry of Education, the ERO, the Privacy Commissioner, the Ombudsmen and the corrupt New Zealand Police!

In an interesting coincidence, on the 25th November 2013 the local 'news' paper, the Wairarapa Times-Age, who are in the business of spreading politically biased happy clappy 'news' for all their mates and slandering everyone else, printed a 'story' titled "Big day for fixit man Super Mario, caretaker at South End School"  - the author of this 'report' is quoted as being none other than Elaine Scully.  Scully is not a journalist, and this isn't news - unlike the matters involving myself and Mr Rogers.  The article, which featured a photo of Mario Geremia (a very 'good friend' of Mrs Scully) wearing a silly hat, states:

"South End School's caretaker Mario Geremia celebrated his birthday at school this year and was made guest of honour at morning tea by the staff.  His hat reads "Super Mario" as there is nothing he can't do and he has our school looking perfect all the time.  He can construct and build, is a brilliant photographer, keeps the grounds immaculate and can repair anything.  We are truly blessed to have him here as a staff member.  The hat was presented to him by the staff and the children all sang happy birthday to him when they saw him in the playground on the day of his birthday.  Photo supplied."

And what is particularly disturbing and 'coincidental' about this is that the editor of the Wairarapa Times-Age, a little weasel of a man called Andrew Bonnallack, has steadfastly refused to report on Kelvyn Alp's demand for the Ombudsmen to reopen the inquiry and the subsequent overturning of former Chief Ombudsman Beverley Wakem's decision, or the revelation that I was right all along about the source of the slanderous defamatory lies that have done so much damage to my reputation and employment prospects for the last six years or more, or the recent pathetic excuse for an apology - while the WTA prints propaganda on behalf of Chief Witch Hunter and Gossip Spreader Elaine Scully instead!

Even more disturbing is that a man called Geoffrey Ball aka Godfrey Ball was recently charged with a number of sexual assault charges involving young and vulnerable victims and Police had stated that more victims were coming forward as a result of publicity regarding the complaints.  On 7th August 2014 Godrey/Geoff Ball committed suicide according to news reports.  His death notice, which was published in the Wairarapa Times-Age on 13th August 2014, states that he was the friend of one "Mario Geremia".

A growing number of other politicians are choosing to ignore what's really going on in our schools and government organisations like the Privacy Commissioner's Office, the Ombudsmen, IPCA etc, luckily, Kelvyn Alp is a man of action, not idle rhetoric, he sorts things out and gets results, gets the truth, instead of just fobbing people off like so many others.

Here's a link to the latest disgraceful response from the Office of the Ombudsmen - seem to have a problem embedding it . . .



This is an ongoing litany of lies, I never took a child to a supermarket without permission and both the school and the Police have repeatedly denied that they shared any information about me - repeatedly stating that no such information existed - so where is this information about this latest pack of lies?  - Where is the information that the school and the Police have been denying the existence of all this time??? 

Where is ANY information about this "information sharing" - this little gossip session - this witch hunt!  WHICH Police officers took it upon themselves to call public meetings to slander and defame me for criminal and political purposes?

The Board of Trustees claim that the Minutes of the Board meeting(s) at which the matter was discussed and the decision to send the letter was made "have been destroyed" - that's called "destroying evidence for the purpose of perverting the course of justice"!

And what of corrupt Privacy Commission investigator Dawn Swan - who invented the cock and bull story that it was ME who told the school the nonsense that Police had recently charged me with an offence involving a child?  Swan continues to collect her big fat paycheck to this very day, while she continues to refuse to acknowledge that I didn't tell anyone I'd been charged with an offence involving a child, let alone apologise for it!

And what of Dame Beverley Wakem, former Chief Ombudsman, who corruptly signed off on the previous "investigation" - cover up - of my complaint into these matters - New Zealanders should not be forced to seek the assistance of Kelvyn Alp and he should not have to bother himself prodding corrupt public officials to do their jobs while so called elected members of parliament do NOTHING!

There is evidence that three independent witnesses rang Police because I was the victim of a violent home invasion on 11th February 2009 and that was the only "incident" that occurred - Constable Peter Cletus Cunningham has a long and well documented history of LYING and CORRUPTION and he deliberately fabricated a cock and bull story about a non existent "incident" while refusing to charge the offenders for a serious, unprovoked, violent attack by a pair of lying convicted benefit fraudsters!

We have requested an extension of time to respond to this provisional opinion because it is clear that there are glaring discrepancies between the information that was previously provided and these new claims and if the claims in this letter are true - WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF IT?

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.

The curious case of Lovelock and Lobb - How to get away with murder:

Download the original attachment

21st February 2015

THE CREWE MURDERS – THOMAS CASE

- STILL FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AFTER 45 YEARS -

POLICE REPORT

AXLE EVIDENCE

In the Crewe Homicide Investigation Police Review Report dated 2014, Detective Superintendent Andrew. J. Lovelock states:

"The 1928 Nash standard Six, 420 series front axle, located in the Waikato River, was attached to Harvey Crewe’s body to weigh him down."

This axle beam was not attached to Harvey Crewe’s body when it was recovered by the police, but was found on the Waikato River bed.

"The Nash axle was the same one fitted to the trailer made by Charles Shirtcliffe, and in 1959 sold to Allan Thomas."

The fact is this axle was never, ever, on the Charles Shirtcliffe or Thomas trailer.

Evidence given at the Thomas Commission shows the stainless steel welding on the two stub axles and axle beam was not carried out by A.G. Thomas or the previous owners of the trailer. When the tack weld on the left hand stub axle is secured to the axle beam, an all important kingpin cannot be inserted.

This welding conclusively proves that the axle found under Harvey Crewe’s body was never part of the Thomas trailer.

Court Transcripts show that Rod Rasmussen, who carried out the work on the trailer in 1965, could not remember the job he did for Mr. Thomas until Detective Johnston showed him the axle and Detective Johnston came up with the stub axles.

Court Transcripts show that Mr. Rasmussen was again seen on the 15th Oct and

certain facts were put to him. Then he said he recalled a chap Thomas.

From Mr. Rasmussen’s own evidence he stated he had no memory of the work he did

on the Thomas trailer, until he was shown the axle and Detective Johnston came up

with the stub axles.

On the 15th Oct 1970 Mr. Rasmussen has memory of the work he did on the Thomas

trailer. So this conveys to us that he was shown by Detective Johnston the axle and

the two stub axles.

Who supplied what, we are not sure but it fits with the Thomas scenario that Detective Johnston got the two stub axles that fitted the welds on the Harvey Crewe axle, and planted them in the Thomas dump on this day.

Detective Johnston went and saw Arthur at the farm where they both conducted a search of the farm dump. Arthur went to milk the Cows. This gave Detective Johnston the opportune time to plant the stub axles.

This was Detective Johnston’s first farm dump search.

Rod Rasmussen has also stated publicly that when shown the axle by the police on the 12th October 1970, he didn’t recognize it. He also stated he was then seen again by Detective Johnston two to three days later, whereby Detective Johnston had the stub axles and the axle.

This proves that the axle and stub axles were together on the 15th October 1970.

This is five days before the stub axles were found on the Thomas farm dump.

Court Transcripts show that Detective Johnston did not find these stub axles until

his second Thomas farm dump search, on the 20th Oct 1970.

Detective Andrew Lovelock has deliberately omitted this crucial evidence from his

Police Report. This shows more corruption by the NZ Police.

Court Transcripts show Rod Rasmussen had in his possession two stub axle’s exhibits330 and 331.

The Thomas family wants to know how these stub axles off someone else’s trailer got from his workshop and into the Thomas family dump.

During the police review of the Crewe murders the Thomas family requested in writing to Detective Andrew Lovelock that the axle and stub axles and the associated parts be brought up from NZ Archives, Wellington.

The Thomas family requested a meeting with the police with these parts present, to discuss the fabrication and lies told in regard to these exhibits.

Detective Andrew Lovelock was not at all interested.

Andrew Lovelock states in his police report:

Two wheels, exhibit 393 and 394, consistent with coming from the trailer in question were found on the Thomas farm.

These rims were discarded years earlier because they were defective and had spilt.

This is what we wanted to show Detective lovelock if he had produced these parts at our meeting. To this day the wheels and tyres and thirty seven additional parts that Rod Rasmussen took off the Thomas trailer have never been found on the Thomas farm.

No-one had seen these parts or the stub axles on the farm, including vintage enthusiasts who were searching for parts like these.

This proves Rod Rasmussen is mistaken when he stated all the parts he took off the Thomas trailer were sent back to the farm.

RIFLE

Detective Superintendent Andrew. J. Lovelock states:

"In the final analysis of the 33 rifles, with the appropriate barrel characteristics the only one identified as having potentially fired the fatal bullets is Arthur Thomas’s Browning rifle, police exhibit 317."

When Jeanette Crewe’s body was recovered from the Waikato River in August 1970, and found to have been shot with a .22 rifle, the police collected some rifles in the Pukekawa area.

Arthur Thomas’s rifle was test fired and the bullet was microscopically examined under a comparison microscope, alongside the bullets recovered from Jeanette and Harvey Crewe in 1970.

Dr Nelson the ballistics examiner wrote down in his test notebook: - RIFLING CLASS IDENTICAL BUT NO MATCH SEEN.

This means the Thomas rifle never fired the fatal bullets that killed the Crewe’s.

Detective Andrew Lovelock has obtained additional evidence which showed the Thomas rifle produced trough scores, a distinct marking on every bullet it fired.

No such scoring was found on the largely intact bullet removed from Jeanette Crewe’s body.

Andrew Lovelock deliberately omitted this crucial evidence from his Police Report, so has kept this important issue from the public and the Thomas family.

Detective Lovelock also failed to mention in his police report another rifle, exhibit C3B. The test bullets from this rifle were microscopically examined under a comparison microscope alongside the bullets recovered from Jeanette and Harvey Crewe in 1970.

The Ballistic Examiner Dr Nelson wrote down in his test notebook ‘Can’t exclude’.

Testimony to his findings is a test bullet from this rifle, held in Archives NZ Wellington, exhibit 209.

This rifle is more likely to have fired the fatal shots than the Thomas rifle which fired a scored bullet.

A considerable amount of conclusive evidence has been presented to show the frequent user of this rifle is more likely than any other person to be involved in the murders of Jeanette and Harvey Crewe.

He has not been finger printed or checked against the twenty-five unidentified prints left in the Crewe house and car, which are in the Crewe homicide file.

WIRE

Jeanette and Harvey Crewe’s body’s when found in the Waikato River had wire which was used to truss up the bodies. With this knowledge the police collected wire from only nine farms in the Pukekawa area.

They only took one or two samples off these farms, except Arthur Thomas’s farm whereby they took at least thirteen pieces of wire.

This is not a thorough police investigation. This is entrapment.

KARL LOBB

During the Thomas Commission of Inquiry in 1980 Karl Lobb gave evidence that near the Crewe farm gate, at the time of the murders in 1970, he saw Arthur Thomas’s car and trailer. The trailer had in it two covered bundles.

During cross examination evidence was produced which proved Karl Lobb to be wrong.

Karl Lobb accepted he was wrong. In other words he lied.

He lied to make a completely innocent man look guilty of a brutal double murder.

Why hasn’t Karl Lobb been charged with perjury?
 

Now Karl Lobb is involved in a suspicious workplace death of Murray Christensen.

There has been corrupt handling of the Thomas case and now with the Murray Christensen case. Is it because they are connected?

During the Crewe murder review Detective Andrew Lovelock has obtained a lot more new evidence. Most of which he has not recorded in his report. So it has been withheld from the public and the Thomas family.

The NZ Police do not believe in transparency, the truth, or justice.

Detective Andrew Lovelock has written up a police report, ignoring all the major facts that prove beyond doubt that nothing from the Thomas farm points back to the Crewe murders. This is turn is endorsed by the NZ Police.

Detective Andrew Lovelock states at the end of his review report that the review team has identified clear failings on the part of the 1970 police investigation team.

The Thomas family believes now that it is time to rectify these failings.  (They are not alone in that.)

We would be prepared to meet someone with authority, with justice in mind, at Archives NZ Wellington, where the axle, stub axle, trailer parts, and Arthur’s rifle test bullets are held. We could then demonstrate all the factual evidence which proves that none of the Crewe murder evidence points back to Arthur or the Thomas farm.

There is some evidence left in the homicide file that was not destroyed, floor sweepings etc, which may yield DNA. There are also the twenty-five unidentified prints left in the Crewe house and car.

I have personally asked Andrew Lovelock to get this evidence out of the file and compare with suspects for these brutal murders.
 
Police have admitted planting evidence to frame Arthur Allan Thomas.

Politicians tell us they cannot instruct police on operational matters.

The Thomas family are not asking them to do that. What we want now is a full public inquiry.

The Thomas family has been seeking justice now for 45 years.

This report will be updated.

20 Corrections staff who could have been prosecuted over the death of Jai Davis

Posted on February 3, 2015 by rogerbrooking

 

What’s wrong with the police? For the second time, they have announced they will not be charging anyone over the death of Jai Davis in Otago prison. Davis died two days after he smuggled drugs into the prison by ‘internal concealment’ in February, 2011.
At the coroner’s inquest in November last year, Detective Inspector Steve McGregor said charges against Corrections officers had been considered – for manslaughter and criminal nuisance – but eventually claimed the evidence didn’t meet the threshold for a successful prosecution.
In reality, there is no threshold – the Solicitor General just made that up. But after the inquest, Inspector McGregor announced police would reconsider their decision not prosecute. Today, two months later, the coroner, David Crerar (right), announced the police have advised that no charges will be laid afterall. It seems the evidence still doesn’t meet the non-existent ‘threshold’.

The prison protocol
How is this possible? The Corrections Department has a written protocol called: “Management of prisoners suspected of internally concealing unauthorised items”. It says that the prisoner should be placed in a ‘dry’ cell – one without a toilet. When the prisoner needs to ‘go’, they give him a cardboard potty. Officers then examine the contents so they can retrieve the drugs and charge the prisoner with bringing in the ‘unauthorised item’. The policy also says that “a Medical Officer must be informed”. The reason is obvious – a prisoner with drugs inside might die. He needs to be examined and, if necessary, sent to hospital for an x-ray.
The Customs Service has a similar protocol and they advise that “no person has ever died while being detained by Customs” when following this policy.

Three prison managers involved
In Davis’ case, there were at least 20 employees at the Otago prison who ignored the protocol. Three of them were prison managers. The most senior was acting prison manager, Chris Gisler, who had been with Corrections for 21 years. Believing that Davis would be concealing drugs when he arrived, Gisler gave the order to segregate him in a dry cell ‘for the purpose of security, good order, or safety of the prison’ under section 58 of the Corrections Act. He probably could have saved Davis’s life by using section 60 of the Act – ‘segregation for the purpose of medical oversight’.  But he didn’t think of that.
Gisler was off duty when Davis was brought in so he delegated the task to Operations Manager Ann Matenga and Security Manager Michael Fitzgerald. On Friday 11th February, 2011 when Mr Davis arrived at the prison, Ann Matenga signed the segregation order stating:

“I will notify the Medical Officer of the prison of this segregation within the applicable timeframe after the above named prisoner is placed in a cell…”

The applicable timeframe was three hours. Ms Matenga was on duty all weekend but never called the doctor. At the inquest she claimed she didn’t know that ‘medical officer’ meant ‘doctor’.
Michael Fitzgerald was the Security Manager. He briefed the security team that Davis was coming in with drugs on board. One of his team then went to the prison health centre and advised the nurses on duty of the situation. The reality was that Gisler and Fitzgerald were totally focussed on security issues – preventing Davis passing the drugs to other prisoners – so they didn’t even think about calling the Medical Officer. Nor did they check with Ann Matenga to see if she had done so. Not one of these three managers thought it necessary to advise the prison doctor that a man was being brought in who was at risk of dying from a drug overdose. It wasn’t even discussed.

Six prison nurses involved
Six different nurses were on duty over the weekend – three of them on the day Davis died. They all knew Davis was in the dry cell because he was suspected of concealing drugs internally.
None of them called the doctor – not even on the Sunday morning when the prison officers on duty noticed Davis had deteriorated and looked seriously unwell. So unwell, that one said:

“He looked like a corpse. His eyes were sunken and he had the cold sweats. .. his breath smelt like faeces… and he had slurred speech as well. He looked as though he should have been in hospital.”

Because the officers were concerned, nurses checked on Davis three times that morning but did nothing. One of them, Gayle Catt, told Corrections Inspector David Morrison, that…

“(Davis) seemed to slightly deteriorate from 7-30 to 8-30am. My concern was that he would go unconscious but officers would think he was asleep.”

Three years later at the inquest, she’d forgotten she said this and claimed: “He was well; he was absolutely well every time I saw him. I had no concerns about his physical safety whatsoever.”
Then there’s Janice Horne, the last nurse to see Davis alive. She was on the afternoon shift on Sunday and only went to see Davis once in her eight-hour shift – at about 4 p.m. Even then, she didn’t go into his cell to examine him. She spoke to him though a small flap in the cell door. Afterwards, she made an observation in his Medical notes that he appeared to be under the influence of drugs…

“because of the slow movements that he was making… she had a conversation with the unit officer where she stated to the officer, Mr Davis ‘looks stoned’.”

Nurse Horne didn’t seem to realise how serious the situation was. She carried on with her other duties, knocked off work at 8 p.m. and went home. Davis appears to have died two hours later. His last recorded movement on the CCTV tape occurred at 10.01pm. A few months after Davis died, Janice Horne resigned and went to live in Australia.

The health centre manager
Despite the risk posed by internally concealing drugs, not one of the six nurses on duty over the weekend called the prison doctor. Not one of them even bothered to consult with the health centre manager, Jill Thompson, who was the head nurse. If they had, Ms Thompson could possibly have saved Davis’ life. When she was interviewed after his death, she said:

“As there was clear knowledge that this person was concealing drugs, why did he come here in the first place? The prison is 45 minutes away from a hospital. If drugs had exploded in a prisoner’s gut, we would not be able to get (him) to the hospital in time…”

That’s her clinical opinion on what should have happened. But it didn’t happen – because Jill Thompson wasn’t at work on the Friday afternoon when Davis was brought in. She wasn’t away at a managerial seminar. She wasn’t sick. Three years later when asked by lawyers at the inquest where she was on that Friday, Ms Thompson claimed she didn’t remember.
The police didn’t seem to realise the significance of Jill Thompson’s unauthorised absence. In the course of a three year investigation, they never even asked her where she was that day. Perhaps she went shopping. The point is she abandoned her legal duties and Mr Davis died. That’s called negligence and it’s potentially a criminal offence. But Ms Thompson was never prosecuted. She didn’t lose her job. She wasn’t reprimanded by Corrections. She wasn’t even questioned by police.

Ten prison officers involved
At least ten Corrections officers were also aware that Davis had drugs on board – and could have called the doctor. Five of them escorted Davis from the prison gate to the At Risk Unit. One of them, Chris Dalton, wrote on Mr Davis’s At Risk management plan “information received from operational intelligence unit that prisoner is concealing drugs on person.” He told police it was his role to ensure the safety of both staff and prisoners and “if anything needs to be done when there is no manager, it falls upon me to action that request.” There was no manager, at least no health centre manager. But Dalton didn’t call the doctor either.
Another officer, James Neill testified that he was briefed by security manager Michael Fitzgerald. He said he then went over to the prison health centre and advised two nurses that “a prisoner was coming in suspected of concealing drugs”. Mr Fitzgerald showed one of the nurses a document titled “Advice to Prisoner Suspected of Concealing” and said “a medical officer is required to sign it.” But the medical officer wasn’t there. Mr Fitzgerald took the form away – so no one signed it. (The medical officer was hardly ever there. See Prison deaths linked to Corrections refusal to employ sufficient doctors.)

There were also half a dozen other prison officers on duty in the At Risk Unit on the day Davis died. Two or three of them were concerned that Davis had deteriorated and should have been taken to hospital. But none of them made the call – they all thought it was the nurses’ job.

The police have a job too – to prosecute those responsible when their negligence contributes to someone’s death.   At the inquest, Senior Sgt Colin Blackie who conducted the police investigation, gave the impression that, at the very least, he would have prosecuted some of the nurses. But he was taken off the case. The harsh reality is that no one in the Corrections Department has ever been prosecuted over a so-called ‘unnatural death’ in prison.

South End School newsletter December 2014 - The Fix-it Men:

The fix is in.  This is Mario Geremia, as featured in the Wairarapa Times-Age in this little feel good article - written by none other than the secretary of the South End school - Elaine Scully, who called a young Maori student a "lying little bitch" recently - and was forced to apologise for it.

Repeated requests for the editor and journalists to publish details regarding ongoing and serious problems at the South End school involving at least three of the groundsmen as well as staff, the Board of Trustees and the Statutory Manager (who was appointed after we began making this information public and revealing the extent of it) have been refused - while the so called 'news' paper prints this blatant propaganda instead!



Elaine Scully is one of the people directly responsible for spreading the slanderous and defamatory rumours about me which resulted in me receiving a letter from the Board of Trustees falsely alleging that I had "recently been charged by Police with an offence involving a child" in 2009, and following the receipt of further evidence showing that other staff were being bullied out of their jobs in this manner and replaced with corrupt, violent bullies of questionable character and all sorts of dodgy friends and acquaintances, I contacted the journalists and editor of the local paper with evidence of this and evidence of the manner in which we were being fobbed off, and despite the EVIDENCE, the editor and so called journalists have refused to publish anything about it except this utter propaganda!

I have never been charged with an offence involving a child in my life - as I told the Deputy Principal, the Principal, and the Board of Trustees PRIOR TO EVEN RECEIVING THE LETTER!

After the intervention of Kelvyn Alp and the Office of the Ombudsmen I finally received an utterly pathetic excuse for an apology signed by none other than the person who is continuing to lie and spread untrue and defamatory rumours throughout the community about me, while providing this rubbish to the lazy journalists at the local 'news'paper on behalf of the School to trumpet the praises of her 'friend' - who is mates with a man recently accused by the Police of raping boys as young as six!

It's interesting indeed - not to mention deeply ironic - that Elaine Scully's friend Mario Geremia, who replaced me and the other staff member who was unlawfully sacked in 2009, seems to be best mates with a man who Police actually HAVE charged - with raping little boys! These offences were apparently committed while Ball was working as a school bus driver - there is a pattern of sleazy bullies rising through the ranks in school administration and local government, (Ewen Macdonald's brother was a local detective and was no doubt well aware that getting 'elected' to the local school Board of Trustees would be likely to enhance Macdonald's credibility when he appeared in Court on serious charges including murder), and paedophiles are aided and abetted by corrupt local Police officers who are complicit in the offending and actively covering up for the paedophiles while blaming and discrediting the victims.

More on the role of the media later.  This is the NEW media - Transparency in New Zealand is part of the FOCKCer initiative, uniting caring Kiwi communities and putting the unity back into our commUnities.

Who is Mario Geremia, and why were two staff members at the South End School in Carterton sacked and replaced by a seedy photographer who has a strong association with accused child molester Godfrey Ball.  It seems that Mr Geremia is developing a nice little line in photographing local children, as the Carterton School newsletter of 4 November 2014 shows.

"Video of the Kapahaka Festival - The day was filmed by Mario Geremia and he will be selling copies of the DVD. He will be selling the DVDs individually for $25.00 and your school will be on one or the other (the powhiri will be on both), or you can purchase the whole day for $35.00.  Please contact Mario directly on mardi53@hotmail.com - or call him on (06) 378 8349."

And who is Godfrey Ball, alias Geoffrey Ball?

Well, he is a local man who actually WAS recently charged by Police with a number of violent sexual offences against boys as young as six years old.

Ball is believed to have committed suicide on 7th August 2014, around two months after he was formally charged by Police and his name was published after a Judge declined name suppression in order to facilitate other victims coming forward - which they did, in droves.

The Public Notices in the local 'news'paper confirms the friendship between Mario Geremia and Godfrey Ball alias Geoffrey Ball.  David Dew will be the subject of another post - he is also as dodgy as anything, a local funeral director who is in partnership with the wife of Constable Harvey Pope apparently (information to the contrary will be gladly received and published - if it exists).

The fact that Mario Geremia is a photographer who likes to photograph little children is a matter of great concern to many people in the community, but it's apparently not of concern to the Ministry of Education, despite the fact that they have appointed a Statutory Manager in 2010 after findings revealed that the Board of Trustees was grossly dysfunctional and incompetent.

The Statutory Manager is likewise incompetent and unconcerned about any of it, but he is also cunning and corrupt as the links in the next paragraph, and the copy of his emailed instructions to ignore my communications clearly show. 

This strategy of facilitating men of questionable character into jobs where they can readily access vulnerable victims is consistent with a pattern of concealing and covering up child abuse in the Wairarapa, involving corrupt local Police, Members of Parliament, District Councillors, and other so called 'community leaders'.  It would appear that the Statutory Manager, Ken Wilson, is being well 'incentivised' to ignore our concerns and further slander and victimise myself and the other victim of this outrageous bullying and corruption.  It seems that the longer Ken Wilson can cover up problems the more he is paid.  In a situation that bears remarkable similarities to this one, it is reported that:

"The bill for a government-appointed manager at a Levin high school is likely to top $12,000, pulled from the school's board of trustees coffers and away from student resources.

The Ministry of Education instigated a statutory intervention at Horowhenua College in June after issues between the board and principal, Brenda Burns, came to light.

Nearly six months later Wellington-based education contractor Ken Wilson is still on the grounds, working through things with staff and likely to remain there until mid-March next year, according to the board chairman.

The board called for help at the college when financial reports went askew after a computer system failed, causing six months' of data to disappear, and problems with governance and management escalated.

Concerns circled around lack of clarity between the board's roles and the principal's roles, blurring of responsibilities and communication breakdowns, causing tension."

The following email was sent to Mr Wilson on 1 March 2011:

Hi Ken,

I understand that you are the Statutory Manager appointed to the South End School, and have been asked to write to you regarding issues around the management and administration of the school.

I was recently handed correspondence between the school and Wayne Rogers, regarding the termination of his employment at the school, which seems to mirror the way I was treated (attached).  I've also been contacted by a number of people who have also complained about the school, including the family of a young girl who was called a "lying little bitch" - as in "You're nothing but a lying little bitch" by Mrs Scully, who is also responsible for this confidential correspondence ending up in my hands and the hands of a number of other people.  Many people said that Mrs Scully, Mr O'Leary, Ms Powell and other staff and members of the Board of Trustees have been spreading rumours throughout the community that I am a child abuser, and that Wayne Rogers is also a paedophile.

I received a letter from the Board of Trustees which is attached.  Also attached is a note of thanks I received at the end of the year (2008).  The last paragraph of the letter to me, and the thank you note, make a mockery of the school's current position on the matter, and of the Court proceedings brought against me by Rod O'Leary and the former groundsman Thomas Smith.

I've also received copies of correspondence between the school and the Armstrong family about me, which frankly disgust me because they contain nasty and untrue accusations.  Furthermore, Board of Trustees member Emily Brown came to the Armstrong's home and made a number of derogatory statements about me and about how Emily had contacted Police and mental health authorities about me after I politely requested that she arrange a meeting between and the Board about this correspondence I had received containing the untrue allegation that I was a danger to the children.  Emily Brown is an adulterous liar, who has acknowledged (and boasted about) the fact that she was having it off with George Smith while still married to and living with her husband Graham.  Emily's mother and brother committed suicide, and it disgusts many people in the community that she is going around to homes like the Armstrongs, spreading her nasty spiteful UNTRUE rumours, and causing hatred and division in the community.  She claimed to be representing the Board on this visit, which disgusted us even more.  She should resign from the Board immediately, her adultery and lies disgusts decent people in the community. 

I request the immediate return of everything I brought to the school, including the large sign, tools, hoses, plants, etc.

I request that the school write immediately to Wayne Rogers and apologise to him for distributing his correspondence and breaching his privacy.  He deserves the job as groundsman for all his voluntary work for the school!  The way the Board treats volunteers is disgraceful!

I request that you inform me immediately:
(1) specifically what information (referred to in the correspondence) the school received about me that led them to believe I was (or "could have been") a danger to the children, and
(2) from whom specifically the Board (or O'Leary) received this information.

The correspondence to the Armstrongs is outrageous, the two letters to them clearly contain allegations that I am a danger to the kids, O'Leary knows perfectly well that I never told him any such thing, and that there was no meeting until AFTER I received the letter sacking me, ex Deputy Principal Dallas Powell knows this too. They know perfectly well that the local corrupt police officer told him the lies about me being charged, not me, as he is not dishonestly inferring!  The visit to the Armstrong's by Emily Brown was equally outrageous and she should resign immediately because of that alone - how dare she go around the community breaching my privacy and spreading lies like this!!!?  How unprofessional!  I requested a meeting with the Board!

I request an immediate meeting with the Board to discuss the letter which I received from Gavin Kennedy.  The last paragraph promises me my job back if I am "acquitted of the charges withdrawn" - there never were any charges as everyone knows, and I want my job back without further delay.

I understand you were appointed on 1 October 2010 specifically to manage employment and financial problems.  How is it then that Wayne Rogers was hired and fired by Rod O'Leary and the Board around 11 November 2010 - was this done with your approval, or behind your back?

I look forward to your urgent response.

Katherine Raue

This is the outrageous response I received:

3.3.2011

Hi Ken

We have had the attached email in from Kate.

I spoke with Emily yesterday to try and ascertain how she got the attached letters.  Emily is sure she has stolen them from her letterbox.  Unfortunately for us, Emily has admitted that she often doesn’t clear her letterbox (which is on the main street) for days at a time.

I have not responsible for this info getting into Kate’s hands as she states.  I phone Emily or leave a message on her answerphone every time I drop mail into her letterbox.  The only other way I give her board info is to hand it to her son Zac and ask him to take it home (this is usually non important info).

We have phoned the Police and asked them to come down to track this for us.

Any advice?  Do you want me to inform all the board members about what is happening?  Ray was in the office this morning so I have informed him.

Cheers

Elaine.

______________________________________________________________

Elaine Scully gave the highly confidential information to the wrong "Zac".  Instead of admitting her mistake, she tries to use to further slander me in yet another deliberately false complaint to the Police - making an absolutely outrageous allegation that I "stole" the information from Emily Brown's letterbox!  Emily Brown, like Elaine Scully, is not fit to work at a school, both of them are malicious liars, Emily Browns mother and brother both committed suicide from the information I've received and from my experience of Emily Brown it's not hard to see why that might be, she is a malicious liar and her actions regarding this matter - like those of Elaine Scully - have been outrageous!

On the 9th August 2012 I sent this email to Hiria Parata - nepotism is alive and well at parliament, despite all the tax payer funded flowery propaganda published by the State Services Commission MP's flagrantly hire the most incompetent and corrupt individuals imaginable. as the featured article at that link shows.   Parliamentary Services has a stable of these at the ready and are always keen to add more members to the firm.  Complaints are treated with contempt.  So called 'good news' is generated by well paid journalists who then

Hiria Parata is related to Hekia Parata and employed at parliament to pervert the course of justice.  Initial correspondence regarding this matter resulted in an email from Hiria Parata telling me to seek resolution through the Board of Trustees - who have consistently refused to engage in discussion or dialogue regarding this matter.

Tena koe Hiria Parata,

I am forwarding the response I received when I requested the contact details for the Statutory Manager at the South End School so that I could communicate with him in order to resolve the outrageous and ongoing matters regarding the letter I received from the Board sacking me over a false allegation and the subsequent exacerbation of the problems when another staff member was also unjustifiably dismissed and his privacy breached in a similar - and and equally slanderous- manner.

I was phoned about an hour ago by Diane Drake.  She refused to give me an email address for the Statutory Manager and said she'd resolve it by a phone call to police.  I said I'd like to see the evidence in writing and I'd like to put my statements to the school, police etc, in writing and have them responded to in writing.

Please provide me with contact details (email address and phone number) for the Statutory Manager without delay, and arrange for an urgent meeting with the Board, preferably recorded by audio or video to avoid any more false allegations.  This matter should have been resolved a long time ago, the Board must honour the letter and reinstate me forthwith, and stop the dishonesty about the property, it was never 'returned', witnesses confirm this.

I am forwarding copies of this email to other parties including the media because it is in the public interest to do so, the Ministry has continues to fail to deal with it and the latest threats from Ray Craig and assault by Emily Brown's partner is the last straw - is Brown still on the Board?  I request an immediate apology for the slanderous allegation contained in this email!  There never were any "charges involving a child' or any evidence of any "incident" apart from a well documented violent attack on me in my home by a criminal who has been found guilty of fraud and lying as well as violent offences against children, the evidence directly contradicts the false allegations, and the Board must honour this letter and reinstate me without delay and sort out this disgraceful situation!

Katherine Raue

Eventually I received a bit more nonsense from the Minister and her Ministry staff, who clearly had an agenda along the lines of delay, deny and defer, and continue to pervert the course of justice and aid and abet lying bullies as long as possible while enabling the guilty parties to retain their snouts in the trough and their access to vulnerable and innocent victims.

Despite the Personnel and Employment Policy stating that "an elected or co-opted member of the Board of Trustees will be given the position of Personnel Officer and will oversee and monitor the Board's responsibilities associated with this policy" it is clear by a screenshot of the school's appallingly inadequate website as at 19 December 2014 showing that this has never been the case.

There seem to be only the two Policies, and these were only introduced during the tenure of the aforementioned Statutory Manager, and are clearly not worth the paper they're written on.

After the involvement of Kelvyn Alp who wrote to the Ombudsmen pointing out that the previous documented correspondence from the Board and the Ministry (the Privacy Commissioner etc, and all involved except me basically) is nothing more than an orchestrated litany of lies and a despicable and blatant attempt to pervert the course of justice,the Ombudsmen reopened the investigation and eventually I received the following information:

This is outrageous - the Minster of Education, Anne Tolley, clearly stated in 2010 that "the Board of Trustees of the South End school in Carterton was your legal employer." - and as for the claims of Elaine Scully in the email above - these are blatant lies!

I certainly WAS employed - to teach the children the Let's Get Growing NZ community gardening program, every Friday afternoon and Elaine Scully knows that perfectly well, like Wayne Rogers, the other staff member unfairly maligned and unlawfully sacked, we were both employed, and promised that we would be paid "as soon as the Board gets the funding"!

No information has ever been provided regarding the source of the allegations made in the original letter and neither has any answer been given to most of the other substantive matters raised regarding the sacking of me and the former groundsman Mr R, or the relationship between the new groundsman and the person charged with raping so many children.  The fact that the school has refused to provide the information to date is certainly a matter the Minister should be dealing with effectively!

Here's how it works - corrupt and incompetent local Police hold little witch hunting sessions and lie to the community in order to facilitate the rise to power of people like Logan Bathurst and Georgina Beyer - known locally as Beyer the Liar.  Then they boast in the local paper in a twisted attempt to rationalise and excuse it:

More on how it works at this link, including letters from senior lawyers upholding my complaints and making further complaints of serious malfeasance, assault, corruption and perverting the course of justice.  While the Privacy Commissioner lied and falsely claimed that I told the school I'd been charged with an offence involving a child, the information provided recently shows that I was right all along - and NOT delusional in the slightest - whoever believed I'd been charged by Police with an offence involving a child was either delusional or corrupt and as the tax payer pays their wages we'd better find out which!

It has been claimed by senior lawyers that the actions of the NZ Police regarding these matters are corrupt and politically motivated, and the evidence of that is indisputable.

This site will be updated with further EVIDENCE of this blatant politically motivated corruption REGULARLY.  In the meantime there is further information at this link and several others on this site.

Comments on these matters are welcome - confidential information can be emailed to kateraue@gmail.com

Our children deserve better than this!  No wonder the Wairarapa has such problems with violence, murder, child abuse and suicide - regularly having over twice the national average - it's run by drunken bullies, unemployable transvestite prostitutes who've never had a job in their lives and experts in nothing but bribery and blackmail!

The media see fit to report on all sorts of recent community gardening and gardening in schools initiatives, feed the kids initiatives, etc, all around the country, but they've seen fit to refuse to report on THIS matter apart from a couple of slanderous articles about me - we STARTED the trend when we took over the Carterton Community Garden and developed the program and established it in the local schools in 2000 after Beyer the Liar and 'her' mates tried to close it down because they were too lazy and disorganised to run it!

The Key to it is having a compliant (or compromised, or both) Prime Minister, and a sycophantic media (scroll down at that link for the related reports) - as Jimmy Saville could tell you.  It's all about 'Public Image' - the PERCEPTION of corruption, the PERCEPTION of REALITY - that's what the media do, they mediate between the gullible public and reality, and they're paid off to twist that reality, and portray a couple of idiots like Beyer and Gary McPhee as heroes and role models.

The media are bought and paid for like this - this is a true copy of the Minutes of a meeting of the Carterton District Council, showing firstly, that Noise Control officers are required by law to be warranted and secondly the ease with which Mediaworks Radio extorted money out of the Council "over and above existing commitments to receive over $100,000 worth of airtime to inform the public on a regular basis about all the positive things that happen in the Wairarapa region." 

- So let's try and define "positive"! -  Well for a start, when the drunken lout and his drunken mate (who is also on the Council payroll with all their other mates regardless of ability qualification or suitability) smash their way into a local home and assault the occupants in a vicious alcohol fueled home invasion, the local paper makes him out to be a hero thus - complete with the most inappropriate photo they can find to print:

 

When I stood for Council and the Mayoralty against Gary McPhee the local paper printed this poster and put it outside all retail outlets about two weeks before the election:

 The paper refused to print anything when I was acquitted after the complainant refused to testify against me and Police failed to even turn up to the Court!

And I'm not the only one to notice this either as these letters to the editor show:

This second letter refers to the orchestrated litany of lies the paper printed regarding the outrageous outburst of Georgina Beyer the Liar at a public meeting regarding the Carterton Community Centre - the paper lied and tried to make out that I caused the disturbance - despite about 150 witnesses who all told Police Helen Clark and the Courts that the only person who had been disturbing the peace or behaving in a disorderly manner was Beyer the Liar!  I was acquitted of all five charges after Beyer the Liar and the rest of the liars on the Council and in the Masterton Police gave evidence but the liars at the Times-Age refused to report anything about that.

Jimmy Saville is a good example of how psychopaths get away with things for so long, they're aided and abetted by the media and this is crucial to the way they are perceived by the public, in the community.  Local 'journalists' wax lyrical about Beyer the Liar being 'elected' to the Board of Trustees of a local college and all sorts of "positive things".  Enquiries have revealed the truth about Beyer's involvement with the Board of Trustees of Kuranui College - Beyer was not 'elected' at all.  Beyer appears to have been co-opted onto the committee at the insistence of none other than the author of Beyer's "biography" - a work of fiction if ever I read one!  Beyer used to work in my husband's strip club and I know him/her well - just because you take a lot of drugs and turn your diddle inside out it doesn't make you a woman.  Here are some of the Minutes of the Kuranui College Board of Trustees - which were provided in a timely, co-operative and transparent manner by the current administration I might add.  These are from October 1993:

These are the Minutes from the November 1993 meeting:

Georgina Beyer is an unemployed transvestite prostitute who conned 'her' way into parliament by bribery and blackmail and the collusion of corrupt local 'journalists', which is why nobody has given Beyer a job since the day 'she' was unceremoniously booted out of parliament the day after a vote of no confidence in the government after EVIDENCE of Beyer's involvement in a Police investigation into the fraud at the former Carterton Community Centre, the Emperor has no clothes.

There were TWO substantial community petitions calling for the books of the Carterton Community Centre to be audited - by an accountant - not looked over by a transvestite prostitute.

Carterton District Council accountant Lyn Patterson was well rewarded for her part in "complying" the financial records and colluding in the fraud - she is currently Mayor of Masterton, and Adrienne Staples, widely reported to be related to the beneficiary of one of the larger unauthorised and fraudulent 'personal grievances associated with the former Carterton Community Centre, is currently Mayor of South Wairarapa - who says crime doesn't pay?:

The books of the Carterton Community Centre have never been audited for very good reason - the Centre was being run corruptly as a little slush fund for a group of people associated with the Carterton District Council - a major funder of the Carterton Community Centre.  Councillor Jill Greathead asked R G Thompson to audit the account of the Community Centre - which she was involved in ripping off, but when he told her the likely outcome she immediately asked for the return of all the information she'd given him and told him not to worry about it.

Further EVIDENCE is available on request via the comments section, which is moderated, and requests are treated anonymously if requested.  This post will be updated as time and resources allow.
