More on the lunatics in charge of the asylums:

Here's a link to the story of a Nigerian drug smuggler who fooled immigration officials to get a job as a hospital psychiatrist.  He was yesterday jailed for 16 months.  After arriving here in January last year, Chidozie Emmanuel Onovo, 40, got a work permit and was employed as a psychiatrist by the Canterbury District Health Board.  The board said no concerns were raised about his competence or treatment of patients.  - I wonder what the patients said though!

It was not until August this year - after Onovo applied for residency with an application denying any past offending - that he was found out.

Immigration checks revealed he was a convicted drug smuggler, and that at the time he claimed to have been working in the medical field in Nigeria, he was serving his prison sentence in Britain.

Then there's this link:  A community mental health provider says it saw nothing to arouse suspicion when it employed another Nigerian fraudster who was using false passports.

Richmond New Zealand employed Hakeem Amoo Ewebiyi from June 8 last year until February 26 and, according to his lawyer, he worked successfully in the rehabilitation of sex offenders.

Ewebiyi was yesterday sentenced in the Christchurch District Court to two years and two months in jail for using two false passports.

Have we learned nothing?  Here's a link to the story of Linda Astor.  While she was in New Zealand she released a very dangerous man into the community - a man who would later decapitate his partner Fiona Maulolo.

Astor took a job at Hutt Valley Health after arriving in New Zealand from the US.

She was initially allowed to practice under supervision, but within a year she had the top job in mental health services at Nelson Marlborough Health.

Her probationary supervisor deemed her "definitely fit to practise".

But while at Hutt Health, Astor illegally signed papers that freed schizophrenic Les Parr when he was under a compulsory detention order.

Parr's father, Lesley senior, visited his son and was shocked that he was allowed to go home...he says it was very clear to him that his son was unwell.

" He was nowhere ready to be released or go home."

"You could just tell it in his behaviour," Lesley Parr told the Sunday programme.

To add to the family's concern, Les's uncle Bruce says from the time Les was released into his father's care there was no contact with Hutt Hospital.

"Nobody will take responsibility, they pass the buck and pass the buck and then when it gets to the top they close the door and say 'go away we don't want to talk to you about this,'" Bruce Parr said.

Les Parr was acquitted of murder due to insanity and is held as a special patient at Wanganui Hospital.

The Maulolo family are still angry. The family fought Hutt Valley Health for damages, but the fight was futile.

Here's another link, note the pathetic comments from MP Nick Smith, and "none of the police involved in the 'investigation' were available for comment" - yeah, right!  There was no investigation, that's why.

Certain doctors conspired to keep me locked up for over three months for criticising the Wairarapa police,  - funny that, because if you go to the links at that post, you'll see that it was a view held by the majority of people in the community.  Watch this space for the emails between the doctors and lawyers, coming up soon.
