John Banks prosecution referred to Solicitor General:

The private prosecution of John Banks is proceeding through the Court, and has just been referred to the Solicitor General.  On 7 November 2012, and again on 16 April 2013,  Judge I G Mill found that there was sufficient evidence of a prima facie case against the defendant.

The Police investigation into allegations of electoral fraud arising from the debacle commonly known as the Kim Dotcom Disaster found that the defendant had transmitted an election return false in a material particular (the subject donations were not anonymous, and Banks knew they were not) and had sufficient evidence to charge him summarily under Section 134(2) of the Local Electoral Act. However they were statutorily barred from doing so under the provisions of the Summary Proceedings Act that required an Information to be filed within six months of the alleged offence.

The Police made sure that their 'investigation' found that there was insufficient evidence that the defendant knew that the donations were not anonymous, and then claimed that they were unable to charge him under Section 134(1) of the  Act, as well as delaying the investigation beyond the statutory period according to Section 134(2). For these reasons no public prosecution was commenced by the Police, and it was left to Wellington businessman Graham McCready to instigate a private prosecution instead - this is the state of democracy in New Zealand - very sad indeed.

Judge Mill has now referred the matter to the Solicitor General to prosecute, at the request of the informant.


One witness who is likely to be called is Kim Dotcom, who has publicly said "there is no question in my mind that John Banks knew that I had donated $50,000 to his 2010 mayoral campaign."

The Police investigation found that Mr Banks had filed a false election return because the donations were not anonymous, but claimed that although local electoral laws were broken they didn't have enough evidence to prosecute.

The Police also found that there was insufficient evidence to prove that Mr Banks knew that the donations were not anonymous . Mr Banks has always insisted he has ''nothing to fear, nothing to hide'' over the donations scandal, despite Banks asking Police not to publicly release his statement on the Kim Dotcom donations and opposing publication of the entire file.

Earlier this month at the Wellington District Court, Judge I G Mill found that there was sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case against the defendant, he said "access to the Courts for the purposes of private prosecutions is an important safeguard against the abuses of the executive's prosecutorial discretion ."

The private prosecution was begun by retired Wellington accountant Graham McCready, who said "now the evidential barrier has been overcome and the Court has ordered Mr Banks to appear, its up to the Solicitor General to consider the overwhelming public interest in taking this case to court".


The District Court Memorandum served on the Solicitor General on 29 April 2013, with the decision of Judge Mill:

Wally of the week - Charlie Chaplin's latest fiasco:

John Key has been forced to suspend the sale of Mighty River Power shares and back down on the conditions of the 'registration of interest' etc, and give Kiwi mums and dads their money back - what a wally!  The National Business Review has reported that refunds will be offered to people who have already bought shares.

The official website for the share offer announces "Important - a 'material event' has occured in relation to the Mighty River Power Share Offer which could impact you."

Following the implosion of Solid Energy and recent revelations about Don Elder's financial affairs and the culture of wasteful extravagance at SE, not to mention the blackmail regarding Tiwai smelter, it's not confidence inspiring I'm afraid.

He's also been reported as saying that despite the utter and absolute incompetence and corruption now evident at the GCSB, NZ Police etc, he intends changing the law to allow them to spy on each and every one of us - because he believes Kiwi mums and dads have got weapons of mass destruction.

Beauty and the Beast - Chelsea Preston Crayford and An Utter Wally

  

The NBR also reports that Winston Peters is planning to hijack the Kiwisaver scheme.  Heaven help us.

John Key claims need to spy on Kiwis because of "weapons of mass destruction":

Couldn't believe my ears when I heard THIS excuse for Key's plans to change the law and make this country an official Police state:



Compare this with Judith Collins cutely named "Cyberbullying law" and see how free speech no longer exists and we've been stripped of our human rights to express an opinion - it's not hard to see how this will be used!:





We are now living in a country where the Police can lock people up for months in mental asylums for criticising them, and engage in politically motivated vendettas.  Where Police send each other emails saying "something needs to be looked at regarding Kate Raue's blog, and the statements she's making on it about our staff" - right before locking me up in a secure mental asylum, corruptly  labelled with "Delusional Disorder"!  The criticism about them deliberately and corruptly covering up an epidemic of child abuse and suicide is well documented!

Acquitted by Judge Hastings, formerly the Chief Censor:

Wednesday 17 April 2013




Well, what an interesting day in Court it was today.  It was raining cats and dogs as usual so I got wet just getting there, then there was the usual cramped, airless, claustrophobic and toxic atmosphere in the Court, with people threatening each other and the security guards trying to keep control.

On arrival I noted the sign on the outside of the old Shop Rite supermarket building where the Masterton Court is currently held, I didn't know whether to laugh, or cry at the cruel irony of it:

I went in and sat down and listened to the Police prosecutor Garry Wilson come out with yet another utterly blatant attempt to pervert the course of justice regarding some chap who didn't speak one word of English apparently, and although he was only from one of the Pacific Islands, the prosecutor tried to tell the Judge there was no interpreter available to the Court, which caused the Judge to look very incredulous indeed, mentioning that it was hardly somewhere on the other side of the world (it was Fiji or somewhere like that, you can hardly hear what's going on and the reporters only write what they feel like writing about), then the Police prosecutor told the Court that the complainant was reluctant to come and give evidence.  He was charged with a violent sexual offence apparently, and hadn't even entered a plea by the sound of it

The man's lawyer, Jock Blathwayt, advised the Court that the man had a definite defence on more than one grounds, which he outlined briefly.

The Police prosecutor then told the Judge - get this - it was going to be 18 months or so before it came to Court, and it was going to be a big hassle for everyone, so the Police prosecutor's outrageous suggestion was this:  The Police were holding the man's passport as a condition of his bail, and if the Judge removed that particular bail condition, and the Police gave him back his passport, "we could just let nature take it's course" - I couldn't believe my ears!  Neither could the bloke sitting next to me, and neither could the Judge by the look on his face - in fact he looked like he'd just woken up and found himself in the middle of the twilight zone.  He wasn't having it anyway.  As he spoke I realised that he was Bill Hastings, the former Chief Film Censor.  Imagine how he'd have felt if he'd turned up to where Court was held until recently:

When I was called up he asked me if I was ready to proceed, I said I was - although there was the question of how appropriate it was that I represent myself without legal assistance after the Crown had only just recently advised the Court it intended to offer no evidence regarding the charge of perverting the course of justice against me because (1) it wasn't in the public interest, and (2) "the ongoing Court process has the potential to fuel her paranoia and delusions."  Since which time no fewer than eight charges have been dismissed, and I have won an appeal, which was the subject of the rehearing of the charge today.

I also asked the Judge to make an Order under section whatever it is like the one Judge Wainwright made, that the Police have to give me the list of property that was in my possession when I was taken into custody on the day Constable Dallinger said he served it, because contrary to his allegations, no trespass notice is on that property list, I know because I've seen it.  Unlike the trespass notice Dallinger alleges he served.

And that's another thing, I said, Constable Dallinger - he got the boot from the NZ Police to avoid all the complaints about his sadistic corruption and now the Police prosecutor wants to call up Dallinger's "Hearsay evidence"!  Well, I said, if we're going to have Constable Dallinger's "Hearsay evidence" then I should be allowed to present the statement signed by my witness DW if they can't be located, and it should be accorded the same weight as Constable Dallinger's "Hearsay".

I also asked that the matter be adjourned until the Police located my witness, D W, who had failed to turn up to Court after I had requested Police and Court staff to issue her with the Witness Summons I filled out and gave them, the same day I went to the Police station and the Court to file three Appeals and issue the Witness Summons for Constable Kevin Brown, when the great lump of a Sgt (Warwick Burr I think is his name) who was sitting there in the Court this morning, informed me that he refused to accept the Witness Summons on behalf of Constable Brown and although Constable Brown was indeed on duty that day, he'd been "sent out on a training mission" - said with a huge smirk on his face - he knew Constable Brown was required as a witness by me because I'd made that very clear to the Police prosecutor and the Court weeks beforehand.

I told the Judge that the charge was malicious and vexatious litigation and an abuse of the Court process and a corrupt abuse of power, and that it was part of a very well documented campaign of sadistic harassment and cruel, corrupt and unjust treatment.  I told him that the complainant - the manager of the local Mobil garage and his staff - had defrauded my bank account and instead of charging them with fraud, the Police corruptly charged me with trespass instead, for going to request the CCTV footage - and that's another thing I said.

I told the Judge that the evidence showed that not only was the CCTV footage of the incident corruptly deleted off the original hard drive, but Sgt Cameron "had a problem with [his] memory stick" as well  - Yeah, right.

I mentioned a few other things about the matter too - quite a few actually, although I did try and keep it as brief as possible.  Anyway, I said that regardless of all that, I was present and fully prepared to defend the charge if necessary.  At which point Sgt Wilson stood up and said that if the Court wouldn't accept Constable Dallinger's "Hearsay evidence" the Police would offer no evidence.  Judge Hastings sensibly ruled that the charge was dismissed.

John Banks formally charged with electoral fraud, summons issued:

John Archibald Banks has been summoned to the Court regarding his electoral returns, and donations from Kim Dotcom, etc. Judge Mill in the Wellington District Court (and transferred to Auckland District Court).  Wellington businessman Graham McCready, of the NZ Private Prosecution Service is taking a private prosecution against him:

Arthur Allan Thomas - Police Complaints Authority nothing but blatant cover up:

Arthur Allan Thomas has spoken out about the blatant corruption of the residents of what is commonly known as "Bullshit Castle" - Police National HQ.  Commissioner Peter Marshall adds insult to Arthut Allan Thomas and every New Zealander, to the injury to the reputation of the NZ Police, by endorsing the disgraceful utterances of Deputy Commissioner Mike Bush:

Something needs to be looked at regarding NZ Police "information sharing":

So while the IPCA are justifying local Police officers like Constable Jackson telling the victims of assaults he "can't be bothered getting off his backside" and the so called inquiry into how a number of senior officers were involved in deliberately throwing hundreds of child abuse files in the rubbish bin and lying about it, senior local officers are plotting how to shut down my website apparently, in an appalling act of cyber bullying, because I am allegedly "using" my "Blog" to "make statements regarding our staff" according to these two senior officers!   

This email, sent from one senior police officer to another, says "Something needs to be looked at regarding RAUE using her blog to make statements regarding our staff."  Anyone who doesn't believe me can obtain clarification very easily using the Official Information Act, and this is a good site to do that if you wish.

As usual, if anyone has an issue or a complaint regarding the content of this site, they are most welcome to request the correction or removal of any of it, by emailing me at the address listed on my blogger profile, or commenting on the relevant (or any) post on the sites.  Few people bother, and most who do are advised to sue and never do for obvious reasons.  One did, and lived to wish he never had.

Here's the email I recently received (click on the image to open, or open in Paint program, if you have trouble viewing any of the images):

 

Judith Collins has just brought in "anti cyber bullying laws" as she quaintly likes to call them - but what they really are are an unprecedented assault on free speech and basic human rights!  It has a nice name like anti cyber bullying law so people will nod their heads and think "that's a good idea", but the reality is that all we needed were amendments to existing laws regarding threatening and offensive behaviour and communications, to include digital devices as well as telecommunication devices.  

Local police are worried about the statements I'm making on this site and others about their staff all right - like the statements at THIS link about we've got twice the national rate of suicide because they're corruptly covering up a massive paedophile ring!

It get's worse - shortly after this email was sent, I was corruptly incarcerated in a high security mental institution, labelled with delusional disorder - or "Delusional Disorder" as the "Doctors" like to call it, with nice big capital letters to try and legitimise their eugenics agenda - the DSML is largely utter quackery!

I told the people responsible for these outrageous and corrupt acts that I would document them and publish the evidence on the internet as soon as I got out, which I did.  Our mental health system is an utter disgrace - a travesty - a tax payer funded circus of incompetence and corruption, because of incompetent and corrupt governance that allows and enables it to continue.  A lot like the Police force, and other so called 'public services'.
