The great con - Electionz.com or Electionz.con?

Wikipedia states that prostitute Georgina Beyer "began to take an interest in local politics, first winning election to a local school board."  That statement is blatantly and deliberately misleading. 

All depends on the definition of "winning" - Beyer was never 'elected' to the Board of Trustees of Kuranui College, as the Minutes prove (more on this later).  Furthermore, Beyer's involvement with the Board was utterly disastrous, and so was the involvement of former teacher at Kuranui College, Cathy Casey, currently Auckland City Councillor and former Labour party puppeteer, who was responsible for foisting Beyer on the Board.

Casey was the girlfriend of Matt McCarten, both of whom were involved in the Alliance Party, then the Labour Party.  McCarten is usually referred to by media as a "spin doctor", or paid liar.

It seems that Casey and McCarten hatched a plan to create a political career for Beyer in a cynical attempt to capture "the gay vote", beginning with a seat on the Kuranui College Board of Trustees.

Casey was the staff representative on the Board.  The Minutes of the Board meeting held on 21 October 1993 show that the Board was in disarray, and Casey was pulling the strings.  Of particular interest is the first item under General Business.  The Minutes show evidence of being altered after they had been typed up, with the addition of the following handwritten words:  "Dr Casey read a Curriculum Vitae on Ms Georgina Beyer and suggested that she would be a suitable candidate to fill the Carterton seat."  Enquiries to "Dr" Casey as to what she is actually a "Dr" of have been consistently refused, the Wikipedia page of "Cathy Casey" sheds no light on the affectatious title and the information on that page is extremely brief indeed (see link in first paragraph).

The Minutes record that there were 4 votes in favour of Casey's "suggestion", 3 against, and 1 abstention - hardly a glowing endorsement of the idea!  Following the recording of the motion the Board moved into committee (excluding the public) to discuss urgent matters of legal liability facing the Board as a result of their previous incompetence.  The full Minutes can be read at the link in the preceding paragraph.



The following month the Minutes of the Board meeting held on 18 November 1993 further evidence Casey's manipulative scheming, recording Casey's objection to a meeting with Beyer prior to "co-opting" Beyer to the Board:

So the claim on Wikipedia that Beyer's political career began with Beyer "winning election to a local school Board" is clearly nothing more than a pack of utter lies.  Beyer's entire political career was the stuff of smoke and mirrors - created by political puppetmasters Casey and McCarten.  Casey "read out" the CV instead of providing a written copy to the Board which prevented any validation of Casey's fanciful claims regarding Beyer's background, which were almost certainly a pack of lies.  Beyer was a transvestite prostitute who had never had a real job in his life - the son of a convicted thief - a thieving policeman no less George Bertrand,.  Beyer's rise to fame and fortune, like Labour party pet Jevan Goulter's (see page 26 onwards at the link), was based not on what they knew but who they knew, and how effectively they were able to blackmail them, including local journalists and media. 

The penultimate page of the November Minutes show Casey's opposition to due process regarding the proposed "co-option" of another member of the Board, Mrs Win Morris, and the penultimate page of the December Minutes show Casey and Beyer again trying to circumvent due process regarding another "co-option" to the Board, under paragraph (ii), "Co-option of a Maori Representative to the Board."

The next Board meeting, in February 1994, records the intensification of division and dysfuntion within the Board, and evidence of Casey moving a vote of no confidence in the Board.

Shortly thereafter the Board was relieved of its duties by the Minister of Education and Brian Lochore was appointed Statutory Manager on March 24.  So much for Beyer's much lauded involvement on the Board, and Casey's for that matter.

Between 1993 and 1995 Beyer formed a close association with "media celebrity" Paul Henry Hopes (commonly known as Paul Henry), and received considerable public exposure due to involvement in the taxpayer subsidised local radio show produced by Henry.

Following news of Beyer's "election" to the Carterton Mayoralty in 1995 there was intense sycophantic media cheerleading, contrasted by the media totally ignoring the many calls for a recount of the vote, and widespread incredulity by many members of the public who suspected voting fraud.

Casey was the author of a propaganda publication on Beyer's fictional "life story", and responsible for conning members of the Labour party, including Sonya Davies, into supporting Beyer's entry into politics.

Beyer's "election" as MP coincided with the appointment of a limited liability company operating from Christchurch, Electionz.com, to run almost all of the New Zealand elections.  Their website contains the following self promotional blurb: "With our internet voting (also known as online voting or e-voting), telephone voting, fax voting and postal voting options, no election is too large, too complex, or too small for our experienced, independent elections management team."

In fact, the company was under scrutiny from the media regarding serious flaws in its processes.

Mediaworks owned TV3 news reporters contacted the writer (Katherine Raue), who was standing as a candidate for the Council and the Mayoralty in 2007, requesting an interview regarding these flaws, including the fact that Carterton voters had been sent voter information packs for the candidates from Central Otago.  Postal voting was being introduced, which meant this was a serious issue, with only a limited time frame to correct the problem.  Many voters were confused and it was widely suspected that there were a considerable number of invalid or ill-informed votes cast.  Mediaworks broadcast the interview with Mrs Raue at the time on the evening news, and carried the video of the interview on their website for a time, but it abruptly disappeared following Mrs Raue's allegation of voting fraud started to gain traction, requests for a copy of the recorded interview have been refused, and the entire article regarding the matter has been re-edited and moved to a completely different URL on the Newshub site following the re-branding of Mediaworks as Newshub, after massive taxpayer funded cash injections from the Key government, made in the face of overwhelming advice to the contrary.

Beyer the prostitute was succeeded as Mayor of Carterton by Gary McPhee, a drunken, violent bullying bikie, who claimed to be the boss of the "Seven Day Club", a bikie gang devoted to drinking to excess for seven days in a row.  This 'club' managed to get their hands on a great deal of funding before letters to the funders were sent informing them of the true nature of the 'club'.

McPhee and another Council officer, Chris Keegan, who was appointed by McPhee because he was a "mate" rather than any actual ability to do the job, committed a vicious, violent home invasion and assaulted the occupants of a local flat.  Local Police refused to act on the numerous complaints they received regarding the matter, and in fact lied in the local 'news' paper, claiming that the reason they could not act was because no complaints had been received.  Of course this was a blatant lie - Police stated that their inquiries were prompted by calls from the occupants of the flat, who rang Police to report the violent assault and home invasion!

Local journalists at the Wairarapa Times-Age and corrupt local Police officers rushed into damage control mode and conspired to publish a series of propaganda articles beginning with a report taking up most of the front page, titled "EXCLUSIVE - McPHEE - WHY I DID WHAT I DID", complete with a historic photograph of McPhee wearing his best clothes and looking respectable instead of the dishevelled, drunken lout he was.  Like the Mediaworks interview, this report has since been edited and the photograph and actual caption removed on the Herald website.  The original report in the Wairarapa Times-Age has also been removed from the website, it is reproduced below:




Further investigation shows that this limited liability private company Electionz.com is controlled by one director, Stephen John Kilpatrick.  The company is controlled almost exclusively by "Steve" and his wife Geraldine, with a shareholding listed as "Hagley Trustees" representing two other private individuals, Peter John Cordner and Timothy John Hill.

It is evidence that the limited liability company is subject to no oversight whatsoever.  Mrs Raue was eligible for the return of her nomination deposits of $400, but Electionz.com appointed a staff member at Carterton District Council, Julie Hallam, as Receiving Officer.  Ms Hallam was up to her neck in the fraud at the former Carterton Community Centre, perpetrated by herself and others associated with the District Council, conflicts of interest were many, and the evidence of fraud indisputable.  Ms Hallam simply lied and claimed that no record of expenses had been received, and Mrs Raue discovered that there was no process to dispute that lie, no checks and balances, no way of holding the Receiving Officer to account.  Despite a number of letters to Police from senior lawyers Police refused to act regarding the evidence of fraud at the Community Centre, and instead embarked on a campaign to discredit Mrs Raue, charging her with Bill Sticking for allegedly putting up a notice advertising a public meeting to discuss the evidence of the fraud, instead of investigating the fraud and charging those responsible.

One of those responsible for the fraud was Beyer the Liar, who was Patron of the Carterton Community Centre at the time and had enjoyed a close association with the District Councillors who comprised the committee of the Centre - despite the fact that the Council was a major funder of the centre, and thereby establishing a clear conflict of interest.

Beyer was eventually forced to resign the day after a vote of no confidence in the government following the distribution of indisputable evidence of Beyer's interference in a police investigation regarding the fraud.

Gary McPhee is reported as dying from suspected suicide in 2016, comments on the 'news' reports regarding his death were heavily censored and limited to comments in praise of him, any criticism or differing views were swiftly deleted.

Recently RNZ broadcast two reports raising concerns about internet voting.  In the report titled "Is internet voting secure enough to use?" Vanessa Teague of the University of Melbourne outlines some of the reasons for concern regarding internet voting.

In a swiftly produced follow up report Steve Kilpatrick can be heard defending internet voting.  Anyone who is capable of thinking for themselves can soon work out that the man and his claims are simply not credible.

Even the oily whale is on about it.

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:

New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union - more dodgy elections :

Democracy is fundamental to a civilised society.  Fair elections are fundamental to all else, they are the cornerstone of justice.  When you have the incumbents controlling and manipulating the election process itself, and receiving and deciding on complaints with that process, the election becomes a travesty.

While the NZ Police are regarded rather sceptically by many, NZ Professional Firefighters are generally regarded as the most trustworthy professionals in the community, and for good reason - because they generally are.  Professional standards in the NZ Fire Service are high, and firefighters take great pride in maintaining those standards.  

It was therefore rather disturbing to learn recently of a distinct lack of transparency (and legality apparently) regarding the recent Ballot for the position of President of the NZ Professional Firefighters Union.

One hundred and seventy votes were apparently deemed to be invalid, and there is evidence of a manipulation of the voting process and incorrect advice given to the scrutineers by the Returning Officer (Derek Best) as well as several other 'irregularities' involving Derek Best and Peter Nicolle.

Peter Nicolle

This resulted in widespread criticism, formal complaints being lodged, and requests for a new Ballot to be conducted.  There is evidence of widespread non-compliance with the Rules of the NZPFU regarding the election, which seems to be a result of incorrect instructions being given to the scrutineers, a very high proportion of allegedly invalid votes was recorded, and serious questions were raised regarding the process followed by the Returning Officer, and National Secretary of the NZPFU, Derek Best, and the 'elected' President Peter Nicolle.

The election process was undermined by the fact that one of the candidates who had campaigned extensively pulled out at the last minute and encouraged all his supporters to vote for Peter Nicolle.  

Alarmingly, when the Union received formal complaints about the matter, Derek Best took control of the 'investigation' of the complaints against himself.  He referred to the complaints as 'suggestions' and 'proposals', and the tone of his responses was arrogant, dismissive and unprofessional.

One has to wonder if Peter Nicolle is related to former Act party spin doctor   'strategist'  Brian Nicolle (-listed under "Losers" at that link), who also campaigned vigorously against MMP.  There certainly seems to be a similarity in political style . . . a letter from the incumbent President:

NEWSLETTER TO NZPFU MEMBERS No 28 – 30 JULY 2012

PRESIDENT – BALLOT
There has been a deal of speculation, rumour, and conspiracy theories circulating regarding the large number of Invalid Votes recorded in the recent Presidential Ballot.
The reason for this is very simple. 

Some Ballots (15) were declared invalid because the intentions of the voter were not clear.   A number for example crossed out all the names and one indicated a vote for Batman. 

The largest number of invalid votes (155) was from a Local where the person forwarding back the ballots themselves, did not include all of the Signatory Sheets.
This meant the Scrutineers and the Returning Officer could not be sure that the ballots received came from persons entitled to vote – a very important consideration. 

Consequently, the Scrutineers and the Returning Officer had no choice but to declare all those votes invalid.  It would have been quite improper for them to have been counted.
In any event, this did not materially change the final result – that is – Peter Nicolle would still have been elected – albeit with an increased majority if the invalid votes had been counted. 

If these invalid votes had been included, the result would have been: 

Jeffrey McCulloch 220
Gregory McPhee    576
Peter Nicolle    659
Boyd Raines      63

Some relevant documents are on the NZPFU website:

We await further information from Derek Best regarding legal advice he claims to have received regarding this matter, and proposed changes to the NZPFU Rules.  If legal advice was provided to the Union it should be available - in its original form, rather than an interpretation of that advice by the very same person the complaint is about - to the Members of the Union.

So far, the correspondence has gone like this:

"Tena koe Derek Best,We have received a substantial number of concerns regarding the last NZPFU elections, inter alia, and I am writing to request all information regarding those elections, and a copy of the NZPFU Rules please (mailing address is 243 High St North, Carterton).  
We have received information that shows that there were disputes regarding the election of the Union President, and a large number of invalid votes, and that the disputes were apparently dealt with by changing the Rules, and that you made statements regarding the legal advice you received regarding the disputes.  Have any changes to the Rules been made recently?  We have also received information that you made comments regarding legal advice received by the Union regarding the dispute, and the changes to the Rules, and in the interests of transparency we are requesting evidence of the legal advice received regarding the disputed election.  It seems unfair that the person complained of should 'investigate' the complaint, and simply tell people about what legal advice was received instead of actually providing a copy of the legal advice to the members.  How much has the Union spent on legal advice over the last two years?
Yours faithfully,
Katherine Raue
Transparency NZ"

(Email from Derek Best):

Hello,Who are you?

(My response):

Katherine Raue.

 (Email from Derek Best):

What is your organization?

(My response):

We promote transparency.  Could we have a response to our enquiry please?

There's been a resounding silence for several weeks now from Derek Best.  I sent him another email this afternoon - we'll see how long it takes him to come up with another witty and erudite response . . .

Hi Derek,I am writing to request a copy of the NZPFU Rules please (mailing address is 243 High St North, Carterton).  
Have there been any recent changes to the Rules, in the last two years?  
If so, what are the changes.  
Thank you for your attention to this request for information. (Katherine Raue, TNZ)

This is disturbingly similar to the way corrupt Carterton District Council employee Julie Hallam fraudulently retained my $400 electoral nomination deposit and perverted the course of justice regarding the Carterton Community Centre AND the local body elections - corruptly ensuring that her employers retained their positions on the Council!

Mr Key goes to Hollywood - the Secret Life of Information:

The Key Spinometer goes into overdrive - "Approaching warp speed now Captain!"

Just after 2 pm on 27 September 2012 National Party leader John Key announced his apology to Kim Dotcom, and every single other New Zealander, for illegally spying on us - many of us - including me.  But only after being made to after the Inspector General of the Government Communications Security Bureau issued his report this afternoon:

Here's his apology and his media release:

"I apologise to Mr Dotcom, I apologise to New Zealanders because every New Zealander that sits within the category of having permanent residency or is a New Zealand citizen is entitled to be protected from the law when it comes to the GCSB, and we failed to provide that appropriate protection for him," Key said this afternoon.

"My own view is the agency has let itself down very badly, it essentially failed at the most basic of hurdles, there are a number of times when it could have resolved the issue, and in fact New Zealanders were entitled to believe the agency would have performed a lot better."

Dotcom was arrested, along with three others, in January after police raided his rented mansion at the request of the FBI, after deceiving the Government Communication Security Bureau, which wasn't very difficult apparently - and worryingly.  The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing because there's no brain working.  Not to mention that the right hand doesn't see anything wrong with the left hand signing things it hasn't even read!

Before the raid, police had asked for information about Dotcom from the GCSB. The GCSB gathered the intelligence even though it had no jurisdiction to do so,and it appears that the GCSB, the Police, John Key, Bill English and John Banks and others, all knew perfectly well that they had no jurisdiction to do so and that their actions were seriously illegal - spying on New Zealand citizens again only a couple of months after the Urewera fiasco - when is Key going to apologise to the victims of the Urewera raids for illegally spying on THEM I wonder?

The GCSB had been wrongly told by the police that Dotcom was a foreign national and fell within their responsibilities.  This beggars belief - firstly that the police either didn't bother to check or they deliberately lied, and secondly, that the GCSB didn't bother to check - a simple and basic procedure - or else they also deliberately lied - which ever way you look at it it's either gross incompetence or serious corruption - and either way all those responsible should be sacked - forced to join the unemployment queue and get their snouts out of the public trough!

Justice Neazor is in charge of the GCSB and his report is entirely predictable.

On Close Up Key appears to say he doesn't think we need an inquiry into it.

This news coincided with the announcement that current affairs program Close Up is to be shut down and replaced with something else because "the public want more entertainment" according to a TVNZ spokesperson.

This coincides with an interview shown a few days ago on Close Up, with Tim McBride.  Every Kiwi should watch that interview.  After they have, they'll realise that the replacement of a current affairs program with "more entertainment" is no coincidence at all, it's deliberate muzzling of the media.

Our media is no longer our own, it's controlled by Warner Brothers, politicians, and anyone with enough money to 'pay for the news'.  The space in the papers and time on television and radio is for sale to the highest bidder.  The NBR reported that there was an alarmingly high amount of bribery in New Zealand.  That was two years ago, it's getting worse fast.  Equally concerning is that our police force is no longer 'ours' either - it's been for sale for years - with officers taking bribes left right and centre, covering up child abuse, and top brass Rob Pope and Peter Broad being booted out in disgrace only recently.

On 24th September TVNZ also announced that Bill English had signed an indemnity agreement that Kiwi taxpayers would be liable for all costs arising from any legal action regarding the fiasco.  The top cop at the time of Dotcom's arrest theatrically boasted he had signed an assurance that he would pick up the costs if it was found the police messed up. I wonder if he'd have been so cavalier if he had to pick them up personally, rather than the taxpayer.

John Banks has got amnesia and Key "sees no reason not to believe him".  What utter bollocks.  No wonder there was such a fuss about poor old Bradley Ambrose leaving his tape recorder on the table at their little tea party photo opportunity.  Key's actions were described as "political vindictiveness" by business analyst Dr Bryce Edwards and the NZ Herald.  Richly ironic when you consider the extent of the spying the government does on our own citizens - all taxpayer funded of course.  New cyber-monitoring measures have been quietly introduced giving police and Security Intelligence Service officers the power to monitor all aspects of someone’s online life. The measures are the largest expansion of police and SIS surveillance capabilities for decades, and mean that all mobile calls and texts, email, internet surfing and online shopping, chatting and social networking can be monitored anywhere in New Zealand.

The morning after the Neazor report was released Green's Russel Norman laid a formal complaint with police under the same legislation Key used to implement the 'political vindictiveness'.  The difference is that in this case police action is clearly in the public interest.  Green's co leader Metiria Turei has been equally accurate with her skewering of Key in the House.

How on earth could Key meet the GCSB 15 times and they not mention once the largest FBI operation against an individual in NZ's history against someone who lives in his very own electorate?  I mean, it's not like Mr Kim Dotcom is reclusive, or keeps a low profile, he's pretty hard to miss really, except if you're living on some other planet.  Then there's the fireworks display and mega party Mr Dotcom held to celebrate his citizenship, how on earth did Mr Key, Mr English, Mr Banks, the Government Communications Security Bureau and the police all miss that I wonder?  National voters must be asking themselves how they could have been so taken in by this incompetent poser.  Key couldn't attend the funerals of our troops killed in Afghanistan, because he was attending urgent talks about this fiasco - the baseball game was a cunning excuse.  He's known about all this for months!  Key, Banks, English and the National caucus are making an utter mockery of this country, its justice system, law enforcement and government!

More information regarding this matter, and the role of the police, and OFCANZ (Office of Financial Crime Agency New Zealand), in this blatant corruption, is on Frank Macskasy's site.

News reports get more sordid by the day, as more evidence of Key's dishonesty and shady dealings are revealed.  Journalist Fran Mold even gets a mention.

Then there's the involvement of Key's government with the Chinese company Huawei.  The company is almost certainly a front for Chinese intelligence agency activities according to a leading defence analyst.  The Australian government recently intervened to ban Huawei from bidding on the Australian broadband network, and they are banned in several other countries too because of serious security concerns - John Key says they're fine, who trusts his judgement any more?  New Zealanders should be very afraid with Key and his Keystone Kops in charge (paragraph 62 at that link).

This is after fantasist Stephen Wilce left the NZ Defence Force and SIS red faced not so long ago!  "We need assurance that there are not similar failings in other Top Secret vettings" said the State Services Commissioner - "similar failings" have occurred right across the Board because of a lack of governance and proliferation of bribery.  Immigration head Mary Anne Thompson, Maori TV boss John Davy and many others, including  "psychiatrist" Linda Astor.

And now there's a police investigation into how Gerald Shirtcliff stole the identity of an engineer and who supervised the construction of the CTV building, which collapsed during the Christchurch earthquakes, killing hundreds of people.

Key's only 'man date' is John Banks (or Peter Dunne-Nothing, take your pick) and that only THREE PERCENT of New Zealanders support his asset sales plan!

Then there's all the other whoppers he's told lately at this link.

Meanwhile, Key's trying to get the TPPA signed under secrecy in order to rip us all off even further.

Here's Russel Norman's speech during the urgent debate in Parliament about this fiasco (using two different html codes as well as a link for this clip because the video keeps disappearing for some reason, and like Tim McBrides interview, it needs to be heard).

Anyway, he hasn't had his eye on the ball for a long time.

A "top secret review" has been ordered into whether "top secret spy documents" should be released to Mr Dotcom, regarding to evidence gathered illegally by the Government Communications Security Bureau, a senior lawyer is being sought to conduct the review after the Court's preferred appointee, David Cooper QC wisely declined the appointment.

GCSB head Ian Fletcher is pushing scapegoats forward as he attempts to hang onto his job.

Sean Plunket's comparison is worth reading.

Mr Dotcom's been busy, visiting parliament to watch the weasels squirm, and recording a new song, titled "Live My Life".  His penultimate composition, titled "Precious", features himself and his wife Mona, singing about their children, the two youngest, twin girls, are New Zealand citizens (as his Mr Dotcom, and the rest of his family), born here after the Court bail conditions prevented Mr and Mrs Dotcom travelling to Hong Kong for the birth as planned.

The stench of blatant corruption hangs in the air as Key refuses to sack Banks, in the face of the ever mounting and indisputable evidence, for exactly the same thing Key ruled out working with Winston Peters for not so long ago, and in spite of  Banks's own staff confirming that he's read the declaration he signed.

Embarrassed Epsom voters are vowing not to be sucked in again.

And Key thinks it's just fine for Banks to sign things he HASN'T EVEN READ!  And he obviously thinks it's fine for the police and the GCSB and OFCANZ to do so too.

As usual, the police are covering up for the fact that one of their senior officers committed perjury - in line with the fact that Police National HQ is commonly referred to as "Bullshit Castle" by the troops.

It's pretty rich that Key accuses Russel Norman of a "political stunt" after this tea party posturing and the blatant cheek of Sir Botox Banks BS, and then there's the irony of all this illegal surveillance of Dotcom over alleged copyright infringement and the matter of the "Meet John Key" promotional DVD which had to be withdrawn after accusations of  = copyright infringement!

Key thinks it's fine for Banks to sign things he hasn't read.  Here's more evidence of John Key basically lying, and deliberately misleading Parliament, and the public of New Zealand.

Vote no confidence in the government before he signs the TPPA!

Here's more EVIDENCE of his blatant LIES!

Election by Deception Part 2 - Idiots in Power, Political Science 101:

More on what passes for democracy in New Zealand these days, and anyone who thinks our elections are democratic needs to think again and face the facts. There are two main issues that need addressing, the role of the media in its reporting of matters involving politicians, and the corruption of the actual election process. Firstly, the role of the media:

This is ex Mayor of Carterton Gary McPhee, who is now on the Wellington Regional Council, after he and current Mayor Ron Mark 'helped' each other get elected. Gary McPhee is a bullying and violent lunatic and it's well documented. He is incompetent and corrupt and it is largely thanks to him and Georgina Beyer and the other local "politicians" that the Wairarapa has regularly has twice the national rate of suicide in a country with some of the highest rates in the world. Thanks to this incompetent and corrupt "leadership", Wairarapa also tops the child abuse statistics. Shortly after McPhee was elected he was involved in a particularly violent drunken home invasion and assault at a local residence.  He avoided being charged because of corrupt local police officers and journalists, who claimed that no complaint had been received, a common refrain from local police - and contradicted directly by the fact that the victims called the Police and complained to the local 'news' paper, as well as the evidence of a number of victims and witnesses.

What's also interesting to note is that a few days ago it seems eleven people "liked" Gary McPhee, 'Politician', according to his Facebook page, but today only nine do. How do these people get elected if only nine people like them? Or eleven, for that matter? The picture on it shows him with an insane grin on his face, holding a baby who is crying, while he is making the baby hold the bumper sticker he's invented that says "Kill Violent People".  - Note, it seems the page has been deleted since this post was published - no surprises there.

Anyone who advocates killing people should be ashamed of themselves, and so should anyone who "likes" them as a politician.  We've got serious problems with violence in our communities, and here's a politician advocating killing people and setting the utterly disgraceful example he is. A recidivist violent offender advocating killing people. Great! The same person who kicked in the door of an innocent person minding their own business in a drunken violent home invasion!

We need to adjust people's attitudes. We need jobs. We need resource centres and community gardens - regarding the jobs and the gardens - McPhee sold the Carterton Borough Farm to a local dairy farmer because he "couldn't understand what an educational reserve was" according to him, so the Wairarapa missed out on the international Cordon Bleu Cuisine School, which was perfectly suited to the Carterton Borough Farm, and at one point a real possibility for the Wairarapa, and would have brought billions of dollars to the local economy! And provided many training opportunities. McPhee's an idiot. Nobody wanted a six million dollar Event Centre (that only seats 300 people anyway). People wanted a Community Resource Centre that focused on important local matters - not a bad taste monstrosity of an edifice for the elite to perform the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. One of the leading lights of the local theatre is Mark Hinton of Wollerman Cooke and McClure (link to all their misdeeds will be up shortly, watch this space).

Here's Gary McPhee, Politician's facebook page, the one with 9 "likes" is today's, 26 November 2011, election day, how ironic.

(Update - it appears the facebook page has been removed since we drew attention to it, to spare McPhee the embarrassment of everyone seeing that only 9 people liked him.)

This is an article in the local paper shortly after he was elected Mayor, written by the local sycophant journos at the biased and prejudiced Wairarapa Times-Age, following a nasty drunken violent home invasion, committed by McPhee and his mate, fellow Council employee Chris Keegan. McPhee alleges this violent, drunken criminal attack was in response to "a noise complaint" - from some complainant he refuses to name because they are non existent, or some drunken delusional biker mate of his - for one thing neither McPhee OR Keegan was the local noise control officer so neither had any authority for the attack WHATSOEVER, and for another thing, since when is it alright to smash your way into someone's house and assault them with a weapon in response to a "noise complaint" anyway?!:

________________________________

FLAMBOYANT Carterton mayor Gary McPhee has broken his silence over an incident in the town last Thursday that led to him being questioned by police.

The rangy first term mayor, who stands 6 foot four inches and is a Harley Davidson fan, has described his role in the High Street incident as being something he regretted, but he was not backing away entirely from it.

"I do regret it. It's something I wish I hadn't done but if someone else had done it I would have supported them," he said.

The incident that led to him being interviewed by police involved Mr McPhee pushing his way into a flat in the centre of town and arguing with the people inside.

According to Mr McPhee - and to police ? (sic) the flat had been at the centre of many police inquiries.

Mr McPhee said on Thursday he had a few drinks with friends and had fielded yet another complaint about the flat.

He had " rightly or wrongly" intervened by visiting the premises, forcing the door open and confronting those inside.

There had been a "verbal exchange" and he said he had then left without further ado only to be later spoken to by police.

No charges have been laid, or official complaints made." [THIS IS UTTER LIES, A COPY OF THE FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS HAND DELIVERED TO THE OFFICE OF THE WAIRARAPA TIMES-AGE!]

"Mr McPhee said the flat had been a problem area for a long time.

He said he had "reacted, or possibly over-reacted" when he had received the complaint on Thursday night.

"Carterton is my town." [NO GARY, IT'S OUR TOWN.]

"I am proud of it

"I want it to look good and for people to feel safe." Yeah, right.

Mr McPhee said he has been negotiating with the owner of the flat, which is tenanted, over its future." [BLACKMAILING THEM MORE LIKE IT!]

"The mayor was back at work yesterday after being in Tauranga during the weekend and in Wellington on Monday.

He said he has talked to the council's chief executive officer Kieran Shaw over what had happened, but not to his councillors.

"It's really nothing to do with the council." [Yeah, right - nothing to do with the community either, according to the nasty, drunken, bullying oaf.]

________________________________________

It's time people stopped believing what the local journalists tell them about our politicians and started having a good look at who they really are. This was allegedly in response to a "noise complaint" - neither of these two drunken oafs was the noise control officer and if there WAS a noise complaint - which there wasn't - there would be a record of it - which there isn't - and it most certainly WOULD be Council business!

McPhee is a bullying bikie with a drinking problem and a violent and aggressive personality.
We've just had the suffer the noise and frightening spectacle of the Boobs on Bikes White Ribbon hoons roar through the town, The Christmas parade had hardly finished!

Yesterday a cyclist was knocked off her bike by a car right outside my house and it will be interesting to see what Constable Sykes and the Masterton Police Prosecutors do about it. Kids don't like these great big Harley Davidson's roaring past with these big fat blokes in black gear and intimidating helmets and balaclavas etc.

Drivers need to be WAY more careful when opening car doors and when pulling out of driveways. This driver was not looking where she was going, and she was going too fast. Drivers open car doors in front of me on an almost daily basis, then deny it, then abuse me, and other cyclists I know confirm it happens to them all the time too. Look before you open your car doors please motorists, the edge of a car door in the face does really terrible damage. Look before you come out of your driveways please, because the point is, that could have been a child yesterday. The victim was thrown several feet onto the road, and could well have been hit by a vehicle, the area is near a 100 kph zone and speeding is common in the area.

It's not safe for kids to ride their bikes on the roads and it's safe for them to do so on the footpaths as long as they show consideration for pedestrians and motorists, slowing down and getting off whenever necessary, and wearing high visibility reflective vests at all times.

Kids round here get bored because there's nothing for them to do, they want to go and play, and ride the Community Garden ponies, but yesterday we were told off by Emily Brown's mother in law, who works for the Council who told us "This is the dogs park. You're not allowed here." We weren't bothering anyone. Her dog should have had a muzzle on and there was nothing stopping her from running it off the lead as she was claiming our presence prevented her from doing. Kids have nothing to do here, because the Carterton DIstrict Council have sold off the Community Centre, Health Centre, Borough Farm, and everything like it to pay for the $6 million Event Centre that nobody wanted - for the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!

Me being safe, High visibility safety vest, helmet, glasses, bell, rear vision mirror, and looking for traffic and pedestrians.

McPhee in his usual get up, he regularly refuses to wear a helmet, and wouldn't be seen dead in a reflective vest - he REGULARLY crashes, and here he is moaning about having to pay ACC fees!

Me showing someone how long McPhee will be Mayor for, or how big his brain is or something.
.

Media reports show a clear and indisputable bias in favour of Georgina Beyer and Gary McPhee, and several clear and indisputable attempts to slander and defame other candidates, and minimise or ignore relevant news items about other candidates.

This is a link to the TV3 report on the 2007 local body election after it was revealed that there was widespread problems with the election, you will see that the video has been deleted and the font reduced in size. The video included an interview with me, and the fact that the local elections were a farce and a travesty! A request to TV3 to have the video replaced on the website was refused as was a request for a copy of the deleted video footage (and any other footage of the interview) to be mailed to me.

Here's how it works - local media blackmail incumbent Councillors and violent bullying Mayor to pay protection money for the propaganda on offer!:

John Key - I can see his lips moving, but what's that coming out of his mouth?!

Here's John Key talking rubbish and telling whoppers:


Watch this clip, and listen carefully, especially from about 1:33 onwards, to Key's statements regarding the report from Standard and Poors, and what he alleges Standard and Poors said about the Labour Party.  It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry really.  Santa Claus indeed!



Now watch this.  I can see his lips moving, but - what's that coming out of his mouth?!

Standard & Poors told him a downgrade would be much more likely under Labour government indeed!  What utter bollocks. 
*  It appears as though the above video clip has been censored because it's evidence of John Key lying, deliberately.  It's amazing what a 43 million dollar interest free taxpayer funded loan buys - especially if you ignore expert advice.


It is John Key's government which got the double downgrade, not the Labour government,and this is outrageous propaganda to be broadcasting on state television this close to an election - and the media should be reined in - the reason we have idiots in power is because we have journalists like the ones at the Wairarapa Times-Age.


The Wairarapa Times-Age refused to publish my candidate profile when I stood for election, because the editor said it was actionable.  It wasn't actionable at all.  I later published it with no consequence (other than widespread respect), and other information which the prejudiced, politically biased WTA refused to publish, about Georgina Beyer MP, which made "her" position in parliament untenable and resulted in "her" resignation.  There is currently another complaint before the Press Council.  Here's a link to another article about political bias of the local press.

__________________________________________________________

An explanation of the real state of the economy from a local expert:

Under British Law (the Representation of the People Act 1983, - see link below), there are criminal penalties in place for those convicted of making or publishing false statements about election candidates, and that should certainly be the case here. This is to protect the democratic process and is in addition to the general, civil law on libel (which must obviously also be observed when reporting elections).

Here's a link to the Hansard report that contains the following exchange:

Electoral Amendment Bill (No 2)---Defamation Provision

9. Hon. PETER DUNNE (Leader---United NZ) to the Associate Minister of Justice: Does she agree with the chairman of the freedom committee of the Commonwealth Press Union that the proposed new anti-defamation law ``not only constrains media freedom, it constrains freedom of speech and that affects everyone''; if not, what were the reasons she gave to the Cabinet and the Caucus for proposing the amendment?

Hon. PHIL GOFF (Minister of Justice), on behalf of the Associate Minister of Justice: Any anti-defamation law, including the Defamation Act, constrains the absolute freedom of speech. However, section 5 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act allows constraints that are ``justifiable in a free and democratic society''. The reason for the amendment was to discourage people from making and publishing statements about candidates in an election campaign, knowing them to be untrue and defamatory, with the purpose of damaging candidates' reputations in a way that is calculated to influence voters.

Hon. Peter Dunne: Will the Associate Minister now spell out to the House the reasons that led her to claim twice last week to the House that media ownership was one of the factors behind this change?

Hon. PHIL GOFF: I do not have the benefit of seeing what the Associate Minister said last week, but the reasons for the change were as I explained to the member in reply to the primary question.

Jill Pettis: Will the Minister please explain to the House whether the Electoral Amendment Bill (No 2) will be passed this week, now that clause 199B is to be removed?

Hon. PHIL GOFF: It is important that this bill be passed as soon as possible, in order to give electoral institutions the time needed to make the necessary administrative changes. However, its passage will depend on progress on other items on the legislative agenda, and on the cooperation of all parties in the House.

Dr Wayne Mapp: Why did the Minister, who was apparently described today as one of New Zealand's most pre-eminent lawyers, chose to ignore the advice of officials who said that criminal defamation would be an unreasonable restriction of free speech?

Hon. PHIL GOFF: I do not know what happened under previous Governments, but in this Government Ministers take responsibility for making decisions. They listen to officials' advice; they do not have to slavishly follow it.

Dr Muriel Newman: In the light of the widespread opposition to the proposal to introduce criminal libel into New Zealand's electoral law, and of the Government's sudden U-turn on it, will the Minister consider removing the press-gagging laws that make it a criminal offence to report on the Family Court; if not, why not?

Mr SPEAKER: That is rather wide of the original question, but the Minister may comment.
Hon. PHIL GOFF: No. (abridged)

Here's Phil Goff's press release calling Key a liar:

John Key caught in double downgrade lie
Monday, 10 October 2011, 11:29 am
Press Release: New Zealand Labour Party
Phil GOFF = Labour Leader 10 October 2011 MEDIA STATEMENT
John Key caught in double downgrade lie
Prime Minister John Key has been caught out misleading New Zealanders and Parliament about comments made by ratings agency Standard and Poor's, says Labour Leader Phil Goff.
"In Parliament, John Key claimed that Standard and Poor's had said if there was a change of Government then a 'downgrade would be much more likely'. That has now been proven to be a lie.
"Standard and Poor's has today rejected the claims made by John Key, saying 'we don't rate political parties. We rate Governments’,” Phil Goff said.
“In fact, Standard and Poor's has praised policies under a Labour Government, saying on savings we should get back to what New Zealand was doing 3 years ago.
"Labour will today lodge a privileges complaint about the Prime Minister's decision to blatantly lie to MPs and the New Zealand public.

"John Key was clearly so worried about the failing grade given to his Government by Standard and Poor's that he decided to mislead his colleagues, Parliament and Kiwis.
"This was the first downgrade for 13 years and came after 3 years of a National Government.
"National has used every excuse in the book to explain away the double downgrade and has now clearly resorted to lying in an effort to try and cover for its failings that led to the double downgrade.
"The reality is as a direct result of National's economic mismanagement, Kiwis will likely face interest rate rises on their mortgages at a time when they are already struggling with the rising cost of living.
"Instead of making up fairy-tales about what Standard and Poor's had to say, John Key should have been apologising to New Zealanders for his failed economic policies which led to the double downgrade.
"National has stated that it will not alter its economic policies in light of the double downgrade even though these policies are clearly failing
"Labour has a plan to create a strong economy. We will invest in KiwiSaver and have a tax system that is fair to all Kiwis and pays off our debt without selling our assets."

Here he is telling more porkies - deliberate porkies - about his share portfolio and certain transactions indicating insider trading and other deceit - Fran Mold does a great interview:

Here's more about his shareholdings, in the Bank of America:

More of his mumbling misleading half truths at this link.

Stranger than fiction - Supreme Court Invents Its Own Laws:

New Zealand has a new hero.  Sir Edmund Hillary was the last real hero we had, honest, courageous, and trustworthy, a humble family, a man who made good decisions, a real role model.  He left big shoes to fill.  I am delighted to announce that we have a new hero now, and as chance would have it, another Sir Edmund, Sir Edmund Thomas.

At 4pm tomorrow Vince Seimer is ordered to surrender at the High Court in Auckland to begin a sentence of imprisonment for telling the truth.  Read how the Judges who sentenced him stand accused themselves, in a scandalous complaint to the Judicial Conduct Commissioner by Rt Hon Sir Edmund Thomas LLB (NZ) LLD (VUW) KNZM QC.  

Vince Seimer successfully appealed the decisions of the High Court and the Court of Appeal to sentence him to six months imprisonment, and deny him a jury trial,  for alleged contempt of a civil court order to remove content from a website because the subject of the content, Mr Michael Stiassny (who had shafted Mr Seimer every which way), didn't like the information being made public.  Mr Stiassny has friends in high places, including the High Court, the Court of Appeal, not to mention his very good friends at the Supreme Court.  The appeal was allowed, because the decision of the lower Courts was found to be unlawful.

Two of the Judges who have shamefully sentenced Vince Seimer to imprisonment are Sian Elias and Bill Wilson.  Sian Elias has a conflict of interest where Stiassny is concerned, and nobody should listen to anything Bill Wilson says after viewing the evidence on Vince's site, no wonder those two want to lock him up and shut him up, they're just like the local police and corrupt Court staff who locked me up on 22nd and 23rd of February 2009 after Court registrar Liz Harpleton and her boyfriend, police prosecutor Gary Wilson, deliberately conspired to pervert the course of justice by lying to a Judge in order to obtain an arrest warrant that they knew to be unlawful.

Although winning his appeal, Vince Seimer has been sentenced to three months imprisonment by the Supreme Court, in a shameful judgement which is further evidence of the rapid erosion of justice in New Zealand.  Read the full story on Vince's site, and then read the story opposite it, titled "Bent Judge with "Feet of Clay" Losing Fight" and in particular, the letter from the Rt Hon Sir Edmund Thomas to the Judicial Conduct Commissioner, about the very conduct of Judge Bill Wilson that Vince Seimer has been exposing for ages on his site.  The conduct is scandalous, as Sir Thomas makes clear, and what is even more scandalous is the fact that it has been common knowledge for so long and it has been condoned and concealed, and lied about and lied about, for so long, by so many of our supposedly most trustworthy judges of our society.

Here is Vince's letter:

19 May 2010 

Dear Friends,

The New Zealand Supreme Court this week issued a judgment sentencing me to three months prison for alleged contempt of an interim gag injunction issued in a 2005 civil proceeding.  The judges euphemistically claimed this "allowed" my appeal against a six-month sentence of the High Court.

My appeal to the Supreme Court was not for a reduction of sentence.  My appeal was for acquittal on the grounds nothing on this website [Kiwisfirst.co.nz] breaches any injunction or, alternatively, for a new trial based upon the Court unlawfully denying me a trial by jury.   Rejigging the penalty to three months was a cunning contravention by the Supreme Court of s24(e) of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 which guarantees citizens facing more than 3 months prison the right to trial by jury.  This move by the Country's highest judges to morph a Court of Appeal ruling simply to evade statutory law - a change neither party asked for - is an alarming affront to the rule of law.  The message is that judicial whim is the true law in New Zealand.

Sadly, this was not the worst.  All the evidence before the Court proved that nothing on this site breaches any injunction.  Moreover, this fact was known to the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court judges.  Not one judge has identified any content since 2007 which breaches the injunction.  But because Solicitor General David Collins misled the Court in bringing the contempt charge against me in 2008, and I was actually sent to prison as a result, the Judges have perverted the law and ignored this evidence in order to protect David Collins from criminally misleading the Court, while giving the false impression that I am not credible, as well as a lawbreaker.  The judges' aim is a political one: to shut down this legal news website because it provides valuable information to the New Zealand public on the often furtive and overtly prejudicial operations of the judiciary.

As the Supreme Court judges could not refer to any evidence, they resorted to claiming in paragraph [69] of their ruling that they are sending me to prison based upon unsworn submissions by Solicitor General Collins' lawyer! 

I will be filing a writ of Habeas Corpus, as well as a complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva.  My affidavit and evidence in support of this Habeas Corpus application show how dangerous challenges to the rule of law in New Zealand are actually coming from judges whose rulings are largely issued in a vacuum and who are never held accountable for contravening fundamental laws which protect us all.

Kindest regards,
Vince Siemer, kiwisfirst

So why is Vince going to prison for telling the truth when the very judges who sent him there carry on like this?  Because nobody stands up and says anything about it.  All it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.  Well, good on you Sir Edmund - now there is a man of true and unselfish integrity and community spirit, a true hero.

I strongly encourage readers to email Sir Edmund with a message of thanks and support for what he has done in speaking out, it was an incredibly difficult and heroic thing that he's done, and it's not over yet for him.  His email address is on the bottom of one of the pages of his letter for those who care to look.

The Wikipedia page regarding Bill Wilson of Rich Hill is interesting in that it contains remarkably little information about the matter, and it highlights increasing problems accessing legal information - in the 'Notes' at the bottom of this Wikipedia page, the information numbered '4' and '8' is not linked to (as the media reports are). 


Sir Edmund's comments about the ramifications of this matter, and the effect of condoning corruption on young people who witness it is profound and insightful, and his letters are evidence that he is a man of the highest integrity at a time when they are few and far between, with all these failed finance companies and crooked directors, and all the rest of it.  If young people grow up thinking that it's ok to lie and cheat and steal because you can get away with it, nobody will respect the law any more.

For the religiously inclined, I consider that the most overlooked of the ten commandments is:  "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour."  Where in the bible does it say you can't tell the truth.  People have said to me "Gosh Kate, it's amazing there haven't been any complaints about your sites" but the thing is this: people can complain all they like, but if information is true then it is not defamatory, and like Vince Seimer, I don't write things that aren't true, and I back up what I say with the evidence.

MAF threatened to sue me for defamation in 1999, it backfired on them rather badly as you will see.  I went to a reporter and showed him and the editor of the Dominion Post the information and they immediately knew a very big scandal when they saw it, I showed them the evidence, they published it, and published it.  The journalist won an award for one of the reports.  If information is true, there's nothing illegal about publishing it (as long as the writer respects the Privacy Act, etc).  

The big question is: why is the mainstream media ignoring  these matters?  They have a moral and ethical responsibility to report the news in a fair and balanced manner.  Instead, they gave local recidivist violent offender and local bully Gary McPhee front page publicity to boast about the drunken home invasion and assault on the occupants of a local flat: "Exclusive: McPhee - Why I Did What I Did", an absolutely sickening piece of journalism completely and utterly biased in favour of McPhee and his mate, which slanders the victims and tries to make out that they are the criminals instead.  An orchestrated litany of lies.  

Then, after I paid $400 in nomination deposits to stand in the last local body elections, the Wairarapa Times-Age refused to publish my candidate profiles because the editor said that they were "potentially actionable", which is obviously rubbish and I won't bother to respond to it because if it were actionable then this site would have been challenged in Court long ago, as Georgina Beyer has so often threatened.  Empty threats from an empty vessel.  Beyer the Liar resigned from parliament in disgrace because of the evidence, published on these sites, that Beyer attempted to pervert the course of justice by misleading the public regarding the affairs of the Carterton District Council and the Carterton Community Centre.

Then, the Wairarapa  Times-Age stooped even lower.  Conspiring with corrupt police, who laid a charge and proceeded with a prosecution against me on the word of a liar, with absolutely no evidence to back it up, as they have done many times, the Times-Age displayed large posters outside every retail outlet in the entire Wairarapa area with large type saying "MAYORAL CANDIDATE IN COURT APPEARANCE", and a "news report" warning potential voters that I had appeared in Court charged with an offence, shortly before the election:

The charges were thrown out AGAIN.  The decision of the Judge (below) records:  

"Mrs Raue, the Police do not have any evidence to offer against you today.  The information is dismissed.  You are free to go.  It is over.  The police complainant has not arrived."  

That's because the complainant was a liar, just like the other liars who have been encouraged to stand up in Court and give false evidence by corrupt local police.  More information will be posted soon about this matter.  

When I rang the Times-Age and requested they publish the judgement, the editor and chief reporter laughed at me and said nobody was interested, especially them, and hung up on me.   This is typical of the way local "news" media try and manipulate the voters - don't get sucked in any longer!
                    

This is also absolutely typical of the Wairarapa police, who have wasted a huge amount of their time and resources - our resources - our taxes! - pursuing a campaign of politically motivated personal vendettas and malicious, vexatious litigation while they are busy deliberately lying about the fact that they've been covering up an avalanche of child abuse allegations.  "Police received no complaints about McPhee's attack at the flat" - what lies!  At least two complainants delivered copies of their statements of complaint to the local 'news'paper! "There is no evidence that Michael Murphy attacked you on the 11th February", "the file number 010518/2481 does not exist", all deliberate LIES.

The police charged me with Billsticking in about 2003.  First they tried to avoid actually producing the notice which was the subject of the charge in Court, asking for my agreement not to produce the notice they were alleging I stuck on the Wakelin Centre. I refused of course, and they were forced to admit that it was a notice inviting the community to a public meeting to discuss the illegal takeover, mismanagement and closure of the Carterton Community Centre.  Of course everyone wondered why the police weren't investigating that instead of charging me with Billsticking.

Corrupt Police Constable Peter Cunningham mucked around, getting adjournments, and wasting more and more time and money, sending the notice off to a special laboratory in Christchurch and getting a specialist flown up to testify that my fingerprints were on the notice - and then he finally realised that even if my fingerprints were on the notice, that did not prove that I stuck it on the Wakelin Centre on such and such a date anyway, and in fact there was absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support the prosecution!  This has repeatedly been the case regarding these matters from then until now - the police manipulate and waste the time of the Court, only turning up when it suits them, or when there's a bent Judge sitting.

The POINT is, that while all this has been going on, there is now an absolutely monumental amount of evidence of the veracity of the allegations on the notice that Cunningham and his mate, the Police prosecutor (who was having a mutually adulterous affair with the Court Registry officer Liz Harpleton) ignored, and evidence that Harpleton and Wilson, the prosecutor, and other police, were (and are) perverting the course of justice in the Masterton Court on a regular basis, and gratifying the whims of Cunningham and other vindictive and corrupt local police officers, while a huge backlog of uninvestigated child abuse allegations accumulated.  They have wasted the time of the police and the Court on a string of vexatious and malicious prosecutions against me, while ignoring all these child abuse allegations!  Then they have the cheek to whinge about not having enough resources - what utter rubbish!  This is the true story of what they've been doing with their time, and resources, and our hard earned taxes!

These corrupt officers included the Area Commanders Rod Drew and Jack Johnston, Jack Johnston announced arrogantly in the Times-Age yesterday (20 May 2010) that he is refusing to resign over his total and utter incompetence and corruption.  Good.  Now he should be stripped of his perks, and baubles of office, and sacked in disgrace like he so richly deserves for all the victims who have suffered such fear and pain while he has covered up corruption and incompetence with lies over and over again, and condoned it openly and arrogantly. The question is, why hasn't he been sacked long ago? and why has he still got his snout so deep in the trough?  How much longer will police bosses indulgently let him keep it there?  Write to the Police Commissioner demanding he resign or be sacked forthwith.

The big question is: why is the mainstream media ignoring  these matters?  They have a moral and ethical responsibility to report the news in a fair and balanced manner.  Instead, they gave local recidivist violent offender and local bully Gary McPhee front page publicity to boast about the drunken home invasion and assault on the occupants of a local flat: "Exclusive: McPhee - Why I Did What I Did", an absolutely sickening piece of journalism completely and utterly biased in favour of McPhee and his mate, which slanders the victims and tries to make out that they are the criminals instead.  An orchestrated litany of lies.

The POINT is, that while all this has been going on, there is now an absolutely monumental amount of evidence of the veracity of the allegations on the notice that Cunningham and his mate, the Police prosecutor (who was having a mutually adulterous affair with the Court Registry officer Liz Harpleton) ignored, and evidence that Harpleton and Wilson, the prosecutor, and other police, were (and are) perverting the course of justice in the Masterton Court on a regular basis, and gratifying the whims of Cunningham and other vindictive and corrupt local police officers, while a huge backlog of uninvestigated child abuse allegations accumulated.  They waste the time of the police and the Court on a string of vexatious and malicious prosecutions against me and

Here's the so-called apology from the Police:  

Note the letter to Ken Daniels, first it says that although the letter was headed "Official Complaint", he has assumed that a letter is all that is required and so hasn't bothered to forward an Official Complaint to the PCA!  This is outrageous - formal complaints should be forwarded to the police complaints authority immediately.

Then it says: "As I've said in the letter, this is part of an ongoing difference of expectations between the Prosecutor and other staff.  The Area Commander is looking into it and I hope a solution will be found quickly."  - "Ongoing difference of expectations between te Prosecutor and other staff.?  Oh, right.


The letter to me is not an apology for wasting my time, the time of the Court and the considerable amount of tax payer's funds wasted by the officers involved in prosecuting this case, which never ever had any hope of success at all,  it cheekily apologises for "the Police failure to bring this matter to a conclusion."  I instructed Ken Daniels to write back and complain that the police were refusing to investigate the complaints of fraud and misfeasance that were the subject of the notice, and of which there was indisputable evidence, the Minutes of 31 May 2000 show that thousands of dollars was stolen from the bank accounts to pay an individual a large sum of money to go away and be quiet about their complaints about the running of the Centre by people mainly associated with the Carterton District Council - who all had monumental conflicts of interest as the Council was a major funder of the Centre.

The rest of the Minutes show many other similar examples of fraud and serious misfeasance.  The financial records of the Carterton Community Centre and the ten organisations under the administration and governance of these people on the Council show that thousand of dollars was regularly unaccounted for, and often used to pay individuals associated with the committee, and idiots like Georgina Beyer, large sums of money.  Beyer the Liar was the Patron of the Society and actively tried to cover up the fraud and misfeasance, writing the letter that finally forced "her" resignation from parliament.


The allegations that were the subject of this matter, regarding the Carterton Community Centre have been deliberately ignored by the Police, and the PCA, from then until now.


Constable Cunningham should have been investigating the illegal takeover and closure of the Carterton Community Centre and the many allegations of fraud and misfeasance regarding the Centre, or the hundreds of uninvestigated child abuse allegations, instead of pursuing the politically motivated personal vendettas of Georgina Beyer and 'her' mates on the Carterton District Council, over what was - exactly like Vince Seimer's alleged transgression - a CIVIL MATTER.  If Georgina and 'her' mates don't like what I write about them, they can put their money where their mouth is and take me to Court themselves, it is not a matter for the police, especially when there is a huge backlog of child abuse cases and serious crime.  Not one of these people would ever dare complain about what I have written about them, because they know it is all true.


Below is an even cheekier letter from Area Commander Jack Johnston which contains the damning remark about Constable Cunningham "following the instructions of his supervisors in relation to proceeding with this matter."  This is evidence of systemic, endemic corruption from the top of the police force to the bottom ranks, older officers are corrupting younger ones, and other officers newly arrived at Masterton have blown the whistle on this before.  The effect of corruption on young people is a key point in Sir Edmund Thomas's letters, that if we set this example we are going to breed a generation of people who have no respect for the law, or for authority.


This letter is a rude, arrogant, orchestrated litany of lies:

This is the pathetic rubbish people who waste their time writing to the so called Independent Police Complaints Authority receive after waiting however long and never ever speaking to an investigator.  The PCA gives the complaint to the same police who are responsible for the actions complained of, and they just write rubbish like this and consider the matter "resolved" - yeah right!

This is an utter insult to our community!  Not to mention blatant corruption.  The many complaints about the fraud and misfeasance at the Carterton Community Centre have been ignored repeatedly by the police, who keep insisting that "the matters have been addressed in previous correspondence" - and "the file does not exist" - and now even more lies!

I requested the file number referred to in the letter from Sergeant Reid of the Police regarding the complaints, and Police are now lying through their teeth (while they suck up our money with their slobbering chops) and writing me letters saying that the file doesn't exist.

They waste our money employing glorified bits of fluff like Tara Sewell to write deliberate lies like this, and "family friend" Acacia Simpson to make cups of tea for Constables Cunningham and Pope at the Carterton station.  Sack the lot of them while there's still time to undo the damage these scum have done to our community, and the reputation of the NZ Police..
