Kelvyn Alp - how a REAL politician gets results from corrupt public servants:

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?

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!

South End School - corruption turns into perjury:

This is the document written by corrupt Police Constable Harvey Pope and presented in Court as the basis for charges against me.  It is blatantly untrue and corrupt.  It is a serious attempt to pervert the course of justice and slander and defame me further.

There was no "bad behaviour" whatsoever on my part, if there had been, there would be a record of it, a note, an incident report, there is no such thing.  If there had been, it would have been mentioned in the letter to me from the Board (below).

"Efforts to sever ties with Raue turned hostile."  Yes, they did.  I received the letter dated 25 March 2009, after Police called a meeting with School staff and the Board of Trustees, and at this meeting Police slandered and defamed me, and lied in saying that they had charged me regarding the allegations of Michael Francis Murphy and Tracy Feast.  Efforts to sever ties with me coincided with funding grants to the school for the vegetable garden, which I had created at some personal expense.  The Board, who had shown no interest in the Garden for a year and a half, suddenly wanted to take it over and get rid of me when it was established and producing good crops, after I'd done all the work with no help from them whatsoever.

I told the school principal and deputy principal repeatedly that the accusation in the letter was untrue and I had never been charged with any such thing in my life.  I also repeatedly asked for a meeting with the Board of Trustees to discuss the matter, and all these requests were refused.  Board member Emily Brown turned up  unannounced at a friend's home while I was visiting and began raving on in front of my friend about how she was concerned about my mental health and had contacted police and mental health.  There's clearly something wrong with Emily Brown's mental health, my requests for a meeting were appropriate, polite, and entirely logical.  The Board of the South End School is corrupt and needs to be replaced.

Of more concern is that Constable Pope and other Wairarapa police are corrupt liars, who have instigated a number of malicious, vexatious, corrupt prosecutions against me.  Also of concern is the policy of local police of sharing all information about individuals with "community organisations", which is described in a front page newspaper article, published in October 2008 in the Dominion Post.  This post is about how that policy actually works, the evidence speaks for itself.

Police shared information about me with Michael Murphy, who then came to my home and violently attacked me.  I raised concerns about Michael Murphy neglecting his child and his violent behaviour, police told him I'd raised concerns, which is the only thing they did about the allegations at all, and encouraged Murphy to come and attack me.  They also encouraged him to return to my home some weeks later to steal a computer disk I had acquired with evidence of his violent attack on it.  Murphy has never been charged for the attack, nor have his co-offenders.

Repeated requests for "all information about me held by the school" have been ignored, the school lied to the Privacy Commissioner, and denied having received any letters of complaint from parents regarding the letter sent to me and the actions of the Board and staff, until confronted with the evidence.

Pope charged me with Offensive Language.  The statements of his witnesses refer to me calling the Principal and Groundsman "liars", "thieves" and "corrupt" - not offensive language at all, statements of true fact, unlike the documents presented to the Court by Pope.  Pope has long history of corruption during his career, which is why he's never been promoted.  Pope told the school he'd charged me with an offence, which was nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

I have now been ACQUITTED of this charge after the complainants failed to turn up to Court - aware that they would be immediately charged with perjury if they attempted to repeat the orchestrated litany of lies which I now have EVIDENCE of - INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE CLAIMS AGAINST ME ARE NOTHING BUT AN ORCHESTRATED LITANY OF DELIBERATE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED LIES!  An update on these matters can be found at this link.

Privacy Commissioner approves of Police breaking the law:

Local police are blatantly breaking the Law, throwing hundreds of child abuse files in the rubbish bin and lying about it, and "sharing information" with the many incompetent and unprofessional people involved in running local "community agencies", organisations, etc:

Police bend rules in battle to curb domestic violence. - Dominion Post October 2008.

POLICE are flouting privacy laws to save the lives of domestic violence victims.
Officers battling to curb domestic viol­ence in a region described by one mur­derer as “the most evil valley in New Zealand” are sharing files relating to offenders and victims with agencies that are not party to official agreements allowing information-sharing.
The decision to bend the rules has the support of agencies receiving the poten­tially life-saving information — and even the privacy commissioner accepts priv­acy laws should not stop information sharing where safety is at stake.
In a broad approach to curb domestic violence, Wairarapa police identified the 10 most violent families in 2003 and began working with three of them.
The worst family was seen by police for serious violent incidents every 14 days on average — 25 emergency calls in a year. There were a further 49 callouts for crimes committed by children in the family, which police say were linked to seeing their father assault their mother.
Another 40 families are now on the list, though police say that is just the tip of the iceberg as many domestic violence incidents fall below the radar.
Wairarapa’s police chief, Inspector John Johnston, said his staff no longer waited for permission before sharing in­formation with non-governmental anti-violence agencies not covered by memor­anda of understanding or agreements covering government agencies.
Investigations by commissioners into child murders, such as those of Masterton half-sisters Saliel Aplin and Olympia Jet­son in 2001, blamed a lack of information-sharing for the deaths and continuing cycle of violence.
Mr Johnston said it was better to say sorry later than put a life at risk. “We are prepared to go to a meeting with all the agencies and slap a file on a desk and say, ‘Take out of it what you want," and hell yes, it is making a difference.
“In the past we would not have taken that step. Now we say, ‘You can see the situation clearly, we don’t care if it’s the weekend and a bean-counter has said wait tifi Monday. Just get that kid out now.’”
Privacy Commissioner Marie Shroff said that, though police needed to con­sider the Privacy Act when disclosing personal information, it was a question of trust. “We don’t expect the police or other government agencies to share our infor­mation without a good reason for doing so. For example, it may be necessary
to disclose information to avert a threat to someone’s safety.’
She said agencies should still have a clear policy on what they disclosed, to whom, and when.
Women’s Refuge Wairarapa coordi­nator Lyn Buckley said that, when it was about safety, the rules surrounding priv­acy had to move. “You can have all the rules about silence that you like but if that child is still at risk what good is that? It is about that child’s safety.”
Mr Johnston said the focus on at-risk families would not stop. “A Mongrel Mob member — a convicted murderer — said to me, ‘This is the most evil valley in New Zealand. It is where you kill your kids.’
“It made me think hard about the area we live in and even more determined to make it a safer place ... for our children especially.”

TRAGIC TOLL:

June 1992: Raymond Ratima stabbed to death two adults and five children in Masterton — three of them his sons. Ratima approached 13 sources for help in the 24 hours before the killings.

July2000: Hinewaioriki Karaitiana-Matiaha (Lillybing), 23 rnonths, after being shaken by her aunt, Rachealle Namana in Carterton. She was found to have been scalded and to have suffered genital mutilation capable of killing her, had she not been shaken to death,

January 2001: Two-year-old Thomas Schumann suffocated by ex-boxing champion Hugh Bryant, 23, who was boarding in Masterton with relatives. Bryant found not guilty by reason of insanity.

December 2001: Saliel Aplin, 12, and Olympia Jetson, 1 stabbed to death in their beds at the Masterton home by stepfather Bruce Howse. The community was shocked as allegations of sexual and physical abuse, and details of frequent intervention by social agencies, emerged at Howse's trial.

September 2003: Featherston’s Coral-Ellen Burrows, 6, beaten to death by her mother’s partner, Steven Williams, who was high on P. Coral-Ellen’s birth father had called CYF nine months earlier to say he was worried about his children.

_______________________________________________________________________________

This policy of sharing information is adding to the problems, not solving them. The standard of the people 'working' for the 'community agencies' is appalling The police are sharing information with the offenders in many cases. For example, local "advocate" Tere Torea. I was advised by local community organisations to ask Tere Torea for assistance - what a mistake! Here is a picture of his appalling, and uninviting window display for his "social services organisation.

I rang him and explained my problem, he then turned up at my home and brought his mate, Dave, who he informed me used to be employed at Rimutaka prison, until he was sacked for bringing contraband into the prison. I was horrified that he could bring this loutish mate of his to my home without even asking me if I minded him blabbing about my personal matters with his extremely dodgy mates let alone bringing them to my home. At the end of our "meeting", Torea insisted on us all saying a prayer, then he insisted on giving me a hug - a disgusting embrace of his fat smelly body, which nearly made me sick!

Torea said he'd pick me up and take me to Court the following day, but sent 'Dave' instead. I reluctantly got into his unwarranted old bomb of a car (only because I had no other choice at such late notice) and was taken - not to the Court at all, but to Dave's house.

I was taken inside and told that Tere Torea would be meeting us there and we would go to Court from there. I immediately felt very uncomfortable and asked Dave to take me straight to the Court and Torea could meet us there. Dave refused, and eventually Torea arrived and started shouting at me in an authoritarian manner about how we had to do everything his way and let him do all the talking in Court - he has no law qualifications or any other qualifications for that matter! He started to go on about working with the police rather than against them and how I should plead guilty to the ridiculous charges. He refused to listen to anything I said, shouting and sulking and throwing his weight around and finally I had to walk to Court. He is an utter creep, who receives funding because he tells the funders he does this and that and provides advocacy for people like me when nothing could be further from the truth! Women do not want hugs from disgusting creeps like him, I've spoken to other women who have also experienced his disgusting groping and religious BS. These are the people the local police are "sharing information with".

Above is the disgusting window display for his "Services", and a newspaper cutting regarding the murder of Paul Irons, saying the sentences given to the killers were an insult to all Maori. Paul Irons wasn't Maori, the 3 men that murdered him were, and the whole community was responsible, just like they were all responsible for Coral Ellen Burrows murder too, because these men were always time bombs waiting to go off and nobody said a thing. Torea is mates with the killers, and using Iron's family to raise his own profile with this rubbish. Local Wairarapa TimesAge chief reporter Nathan Crombie, and other journalists, are responsible for promoting Torea and his unprofessional mates. Others who the local hack journalists promote include the following:

Ex Mayor Gary McPhee, who is on the committee of Victim Support, who told me to piss off (like Woman's Refuge manager Lyn Buckley, quoted in the news article about the Privacy Act breach policy), after the home invasion by Michael Francis Murphy in 2009.

There were numerous complaints about McPhee's drunken violent home invasion in 2005, which Police refused to even acknowledge, he was also involved in the attack on me in my home in February 2009 which is well documented.

Victims of violence are committing suicide in droves locally because this is what passes for advocacy and leadership in the Wairarapa. "Tell someone" Barry Taylor says - we've told him that the victims of violence and bullying and abuse in the Wairarapa are having to suffer further abuse and violence when they try and "tell someone" like Gary McPhee, who is on the committee of Victim Support, after committing a violent drunken home invasion at a local flat, and incompetent and/or unqualified people who don't know what they're doing.

Kiwileaks Exclusive: Privacy Commissioner, Corrupt or Incompetent?

This is the arrogant and dismissive response from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in response to the issue of the South End School.  Faithful followers of Transparency in New Zealand will recall that I received a letter from the Board of Trustees of the South End School in Carterton in sacking me from my job because, according to the letter, the Board was distressed to have received information that I had been recently charged by the Police for an offence involving a child.

This was despite an earlier visit from the Deputy Principal, to ask me if the allegation was true, because she had been so shocked to discover that the Board was proposing to send me the letter.  Of course, I told her in no uncertain terms that this was utter rubbish, and that I had never in my life been charged with any such offence, never mind recently!  I was therefore very surprised indeed to receive the letter some 6 weeks later saying: "The Board of Trustees were distressed to hear of you recently being charged by the police.  The vetting policy at the school is designed to reduce risk to the children at South End School.  Whereas your previous Court incidents did not have this risk the present one involves a child.  This does present a risk and therefore a problem for the Board.  With this charge over you the Board of Trustees requests that you stop your work in the school gardens.  Should you be found guilty of the charge the Board could not permit you to resume your work on the school garden.  As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty of the charge as this would remove our problem.  We appreciate the work and enthusiasm you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future." - what hypocrisy and lies!

Of course I immediately rang the school and made an appointment to see the Principal, Rod O'Leary, who I had previously had a very good relationship with through my job at the school teaching gardening and running the school gardens, which I was solely responsible for creating and developing.  The school gardening program I introduced was wildly successful.  It brought out all the best qualities in the kids, and they learned so much, because gardening is a holistic sort of process, and it teaches kids to look at life holistically, it teaches commitment, planning, risk management and all sorts of interesting things as well as growing food, a very basic but essential life saving skill, especially in these economic times.

We met and I told him that the allegation in the letter was untrue.  I requested all information the school held about me, and in particular all information regarding the letter sacking me because of the false and extremely offensive allegation.  The meeting was pleasant, but I was clear about how I felt about receiving the letter from the Board, after I'd made it perfectly clear to the Deputy Principal that the allegation was untrue when she had put it to me 6 weeks earlier.  I asked for a meeting between myself and the Board as soon as possible.  This request, and all other requests for a meeting with the Board were refused, as was the request for information.

I wrote a considerable number of letters to various individuals and organisations, all of which concentrated more on explaining to me that it wasn't really an issue they wanted to deal with for one excuse or another.  This letter from the Privacy Commissioner's Office is a good example.  The Principal provided one or two documents to me and told the Privacy Commissioner that was all the information.  I asked for the minutes of the Board meeting where it was decided to send me the letter, and the notes of the staff representative, which the Deputy Principal had told me she had sighted, documenting that the Police had given the Board the erroneous and slanderous information, along with other false, slanderous and defamatory information.  This would be in accordance with their announced policy of sharing gossip with anyone who's interested:  (Click on these images to enlarge, or open them with Paint program.)

The principal lied to the Privacy Commissioner, repeatedly stating that no other information existed, well after he, and the Board of Trustees, had received a number of complaints from parents.  When confronted with the evidence, in the form of a copy of one of the letters of complaint, he was forced to accept its existence, grudgingly.

Contrast this with the article in the Dominion Post October 2008 which boasts how police blatantly flout the privacy laws, giving free access to basically any idiot on the committee of any little community organisation.

The people in charge of the community organisations in the Wairarapa are mainly corrupt and incompetent (a notable exception being Ken English of the Heart Foundation, and I wish him all the best in his retirement, he deserves it and we'll all miss him a lot).  This article quotes Lyn Buckley of Women's Refuge, Masterton, who told me her organisation wouldn't be assisting me in any way when I asked if they could assist with urgent accommodation and assistance after the recent assaults at what's now Gallon Road.  There's no shortage of greedy, incompetent, unscrupulous and outright corrupt people running so-called 'community organisations' round here (and elsewhere I suspect).

I had also written to the Privacy Commissioner about the refusal of the Police to provide an audio recording of the call to 111 emergency services from Clair Cook and Kelly Wilson regarding the attack on me in my home by Michael Francis Murphy of 18 Wyndham St Carterton on 11th February 2009, and the letter from the manager of the Police Communications Centre, Inspector Wayne Ewers, in which he states the reason for the refusal: "according to the Privacy Act you are not entitled to any information that is created by other people." - what rubbish!  Rubbish which the Privacy Commissioner and the Police have refused to acknowledge.  The newsclipping file has deteriorated (Bob told me about jpeg files), readers might like to try and get a copy from the offices of the Dominion Post, it was on the front page in October 2008, next to an equally large photo of a female police officer breastfeeding her baby instead of doing what she's paid to do, exposing way more breast that Christine Rankin.

My complaint, which is referred to insultingly in the Certificate of Investigation issued by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (at my request in order to progress the matter through the proper channels, the Human Rights Review Tribunal and the Ombudsman), is that (inter alia) the Principal of the South End School, Rod O'Leary, is lying to the investigator and everyone else, in saying that I told him I had recently been charged by Police with an offence involving a child.  He knows perfectly well I didn't and no person in their right mind would believe that!  I don't make things up, he does, and he made up this lie deliberately in order to get rid of me, in conspiracy with members of the Board of Trustees, because after I had slaved away to build beautiful gardens at the school from nothing, and investing a huge amount of time and resources in to the gardens, and hundreds of dollars of equipment, with no help whatsoever from the Board or other staff, the school finally managed to get funding for gardens, and wanted to get their hands on it unhindered by me.

I told the Privacy Commissioner's investigator, Diane Swan, that Deputy Principal Dallas Powell had told me that she had seen the notes of the meeting, that they were clearly about me, and that she would verify that I told her the exact opposite of what O'Leary claimed.  I also asked for any evidence whatsoever of O'Leary's claim, such as notes, incident reports, anything whatsoever, and asked her to contact Deputy Principal Dallas Powell and ask her directly, and obtain a statement from her about the matter.

Swan rudely refused, like Mike Flahive, who signed this rude letter - how much taxpayer's money was wasted - or pocketed by him and Diane Swan - over this little racket?!  I DID NOT TELL O'LEARY ANY SUCH THING HE IS A CORRUPT LIAR WHO HAS PROFITED CONSIDERABLY FROM THIS CORRUPT CONSPIRACY.

Then a few things happened.  Deputy Principal Dallas Powell left the school abruptly.  I was issued with a trespass notice, preventing me accessing my tools and equipment at the school.  When I was hailed by the school's bullying and lazy groundsman one day I responded by stopping and asking him to move our property from his locked shed on the grounds to the gate so that I could remove it from the site, and when he said it was not going to be returned, I called him a thieving crook, and the Principal, who he was speaking with at the time, and was charged by the police with using insulting language.  All three prosecution witnesses failed to turn up to the hearing, wasting considerable Court time, Police time, and public resources, after numerous preliminary Court fixtures.

Court Summary of Facts, written by corrupt Constable Harvey Pope states: "In 2009 the defendant RAUE was Trespassed from the grounds of CARTERTON South end School (sic).  She was at the time a volunteer at the school and involved with the school's vegetable gardens.  During this involvement her bad behaviour in front of the pupils caused the schools' teachers and board members to become concerned.  Efforts to sever ties with RAUE turned hostile."  The document alleges that I was cycling past, stopped and shouted "abuse" at the "Principle and grounds man" (sic).  A very serious crime in Carterton apparently.

Efforts to sever ties - like sending me a letter accusing me of child abuse and a trespass notice effectively stealing my property - certainly did turn hostile in the face of the obvious lies and corruption.  There was no "bad behaviour" because if there had there would undoubtably be some record of it, such as a single incident report, a note, there's nothing at all, and there is considerable evidence from witnesses that this is an utter lie.

What a waste of taxpayers money this all is.  Are people too stupid to see it, or what?

Police breach Privacy Act and slander innocent Community Worker

On the left is a copy of an article which appeared on the front page of the Dominion in August 2008 describing the arrogance with which the local police flout the very laws they are paid to enforce, by 'sharing information' with all the unprofessional people running the local 'community organisations'. on the right is a letter to me from the Board of Trustees of the South End School in Carterton, which says:

"The Board of Trustees were distressed to hear of you recently being charged by the police. Whereas your previous court incidents did not have any risk the present one involves a child. This does present a risk and therefore a problem for the Board.

With this charge over you the Board requests that you stop your work in the school gardens.

Should you be found guilty of the charge the Board could not permit you to resume your work in the school garden.

As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

As I've told everyone from the moment I heard of this preposterous allegation, there never WERE an charges involving a child, and I have been acquitted of any other charges which were not withdrawn. Rod O'Leary never turned up for Court and should be charged with wasting police time and making a false complaint. He didn't turn up because if he had repeated what he said in his complaint under oath he would be guilty of perjury as he well knows.

I was wrongfully sacked from my job as Boarding Matron at St Matthews College in Masterton too after the police rang the principal twice to complain about "Mrs Raue's behaviour and manner in dealing with matters in the community", referring to publicity in the newspaper about the petition I started, calling for an inquiry into the allegations regarding the illegal takeover, mismangement and closure of the former Carterton Community Centre, and calling for the affairs of the Centre to be investigated and audited by a lawyer and an accountant. There is nothing wrong with that. The principal of St Matthews made notes of these conversations, they will be uploaded shortly, and the records which the Ombudsmen ordered the school to release showed that there were NO complaints from anyone else, or matters of concern even. Police refused to charge anyone regarding the blatant fraud and other offences, home invasions, etc, but they were worrying about a petition calling for an inquiry into the Carterton Community Centre - why? Because local 'artist' Jo Roffe was creaming wages of over six hundred dollars a week through the Centre, using it as the 'funding umbrella', for her part time disaster of a craft course for at risk youth, and having it off with Constable Steve Wakefield, who was and still is famous for his sleazy corrupt behaviour, taking advantage of vulnerable women. His son, Constable Mike Wakefield is not much better, just as corrupt but maybe not so sleazy. They used to write letters in support of her funding applications ;)

Shortly before the takeover of the Carterton Community Centre, in October 2000, the committee of the Carterton Community Centre, who were nearly all associated with the Carterton District Council - major funder of the centre - conflicts of interest all over the place - attempted to close the Community Gardens, because they had committed the fraud involving the fake 'personal grievance' - which I can talk about with impunity because it never went anywhere near the Employment Tribunal, the committee just decided to gift one of their mates eleven thousand dollars, which they stole and defrauded from the bank accounts of several other organisations that they had access to and signing authority on, and then they could'nt get any more funding because we wrote to the funders and showed them the indisputable evidence.

Mainstream media reported on whether Solitaire Robertson was Adrienne Staples illegitimate daughter, deeming that to be in the public interest, but they won't investigate whether Mrs Staples is related to Helen Staples the recipient of this fraudulent payment.

A friend and I formed an organisation called Friends of the Carterton Community Gardens and proposed to the committee that our organisation take over the Community Gardens and run them voluntarily. This was refused, but after publicity in the local newspaper, the committee gifted the Gardens, and “everything on the site” to Oasis 'Trust', a Masterton based church, apparently founded and run by local cult leader, Masterton District Councillor and ex policeman Jonathon Hooker.

Oasis made it clear from the start that they didn't want anything to do with our Gardens, and their own Gardens consisted solely of a small plot at Jonathon Hookers house and another small plot at the home of Oasis's administration manager, gardens which certainly did not benefit the community, they benefited the Hooker family (any "community garden" should have been on the land his trust owned in Lincoln Rd, where the poor people could access it!. They promised to apply for funding and “act as an umbrella for funding purposes” if our organisation did all the work at the Gardens.

So Friends of the Gardens took over the running of the Gardens, with great success. For the next few years we worked hard to develp the site, an old rubbish dump, which had been condemned by the Council years earlier as unfit for use due to the state of the section. We weeded and dug, planted seeds and cuttings and grew heaps of vegetables which we provided to people in need, we also assisted many local people to complete Court ordered community work sentences, and used this opportunity to interact construtively with those people and assist them into jobs, drug treatment programs, and generally improve their lives and improve their relationships with the community. We achieved enormous success in the area of attitude adjustment, gardening does that, it strengthens families, keeps people busy, and improves their self esteem. We helped people realise that they actually liked working. There were apple trees, grape vines, a lemon tree, a feijoa tree, and plum trees, including one that had the biggest reddest most delicious plums imaginable.

We helped people establish gardens at their own homes, and provided ongoing support, after they finished their community hours. We've been doing this ever since, and the benefits to the community cannot be overstated. Attitude adjustment results in a new outlook, new view of life, new goals, new habits. Give me the boy till he's seven and I'll give you the man the Jesuits say, well give us the wounded, the scarred, the wayward, and in 40 hours or so we'll give you a way better person. Give us the children during the holidays and we'll give you better young people when they go back to school.

In about 2006 the Council drove a digger through all our vegetables and smashed a row of new fruit trees we'd planted and changed the lock on the gate later granting grazing rights -for free - to one of their mates, the brother of the Council officer who accompanied disgraced ex Mayor Gary McPhee on his drunken home invasion, he put sheep in and the Council cut down all the fruit trees, the grape vine, ripped out all our edible plants and replaced our garden with a bleak, unimaginative, uninviting "Passive recreation reserve" - nobody goes there, it's horrible.

We simply continued the Gardens at the property I rented up the road, a farm house owned by Mr Tubby Rose, bless his soul. Friends of the Gardens are indebted to Mr Rose and his family for their kindness and support over many years. They made it possible for us to raise chickens and keep horses, hawks, fish, and other animals, and grow a reasonable quantity of fruit and vegetables, which we used to achieve great results with troubled young people in particular, and to teach relationship skills, trust, courage, risk management and many other useful skills, as well as continue our conventional work in the Gardens. Mr Rose had put goldfish in the cattle trough years ago and visitors to the Gardens used to greatly enjoy feeding the fishes and the hawk and chickens and other animals, especially children. Older people used to also enjoy coming to the community garden at Rose Farm. We taught cooking and preserving, quality, marketable arts and crafts, music (if neighbours in town complained about students of the drums they used to bring their drums out to the farm where we didn't have neighbours), and all sorts of other things, useful life skills, work skills.

Sadly Mr Rose passed away peacefully on the morning of Christmas Eve 2000, in his 90th year, and the farm was eventually sold.

Friends of the Gardens then approached the principal of South End School, Mr Rod O'Leary, and asked if we could establish and develop a Garden at the school with the children. Mr O'Leary was very supportive, and for over twelve months I worked hard to develop a vegetable garden with the children, adjacent to the swimming pool. We also weeded and planted the beds outside the school gates, and around the office block and planted many fruit trees. We liaised with two teachers in particular and worked with a group of children on Wednesday afternoons in the gardens. The sessions were really popular with the children, who worked hard to plant and grow a variety of vegetables, a peach orchard, etc, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Suddenly, I received the attached letter from Mr Gavin Kennedy on behalf of the Board of Trustees.

I was shocked and distressed to put it mildly, because I'd received a visit from the Deputy Principal a few weeks beforehand to tell me that the police had informed the Board of Trustees of this allegation and that I would be receiving the letter, at which point - PRIOR to actually receiving the letter(!) - I immediately told her I had definitely never ever been charged with any such offence, and expected that to be the first and last thing I would ever hear about the ridiculous allegation - especially after I'd made it perfectly clear to the Deputy Principal, Dallas Powell, that I had never been charged with any such thing in my life, let alone recently.

Immediately after receiving the letter I met with the principal to discuss the matter and inform him that I certainly had not been charged with any such offence involving a child, either recently, or ever for that matter. The meeting was perfectly pleasant and civil because I had always had a very good relationship with all the staff at the school, including Mr O'Leary, as typified by the social call from Dallas Powell to discuss her concerns about the actions of the police and the Board in the first place - she couldn't believe it any more than I could.

I asked for an immediate meeting with the Board of Trustees to discuss the matter, and copies of all information regarding the matter, particularly the source of the false allegation. The Board has continued to refuse to communicate with me at all regarding this matter, but has since made matters much worse.

At one stage a Statutory Manager was appointed, he didn't meet with me either, because I was accused of being delusional for allegedly imagining that Rod O'Leary's new car was somehow a payoff for corruption - according to 'Dr' Brenda Sally Rimkeit. There is a clear link between these events and a violent attack on me in my home on 11 February 2009 by Michael Francis Murphy and another person. Evidence such as text messages, the Mayoral Diary, police documents, witness statements, it all stacks up into a mountain of evidence that there HAS been corruption, which is ongoing and worsening, but that it had very little if anything to do with Rod O'Leary's car. If anyone is delusional it is whoever made up the allegation that I had been recently charged by the police with an offence involving a child! And Constable Peter Cletus Cunningham, who has written an Offence Report regarding the attack which is an orchestrated litany of fabrication and fiction, waffling on for the first five pages about what some woman was cooking for tea and some soap opera script of some conversation that didn't happen at some completely different address, then goes on about some 'incident' - non specified, ALLEGED 'incident', at the supermarket - which also didn't happen. because I requested the camera footage like I did the time Murphy threatened and abused me in front of a local real estate agent in there on another occasion and it was subsequently deleted and the request refused.

Unfortunately, the matter of the South End School has still not been resolved, and it needs sorting out because we can't put up with bullying in schools and especially not bullies running schools.

The letter sent to me clearly states: "

As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

This is the remedy I seek.

It is required to make up in some small way for the damage done to my reputation, humiliation and hurt, loss of standing in the community, disapproval and censure of others in the community - there's nothing worse that being charged with child abuse round here, we've got a very big problem with it involving the police, the IPCA, and the government.

There is no evidence whatsoever to support any allegations of any alleged 'incidents' at all, according to the information released under the Privacy Act, the school has admitted it.

The allegations of Rod O'Leary that I called him a thieving crook, amounted to wasting police time, which is why he didn't turn up to Court, because I was waiting for him with a Summons! The charge brought by Rod O'Leary was dismissed, there never was any "charge involving a child", I've been acquitted of 99% of the charges brought against me by local police since 2004 (Bill Sticking, for advertising a public meeting to discuss the takeover and closure of the Carterton Community Centre and the lawyers letters about the fraud, the evidence of it, etc, a civil matter and nothing to do with police), and I had virtually nothing to do with police prior to suffering the misfortune of coming to Carterton, the Crown failed to front up with any evidence, and wrote an equally fanciful work of fiction to try and explain it away - an absolutely laughable attempt if it wasn't for the fact that it is tax payer funded corruption, and we've got bullies and liars running schools and teaching kids, and setting that kind of example.

In Wairarapa we regularly have double the national rate of suicide, this is a country with some of the highest rates in the world, and this is why. We need those gardens, our communities need them, our children need them. Our staff are properly trained and work with reputable community organisations, with tangible and visible results, to achieve our mutual goals and help children and others in the community reach their full potential through our community gardens and school gardens.

A witness and went to the garden I established at the school and found it in a state of abandonment, as it was all throughout the school holidays, nobody attended it, or harvested what pitiful specimens the birds didn't get. The compost bin clearly had not been used, like other donated equipment like the water tanks and related equipment as confirmed by an email from Ms Powell, we compared the photos of the gardens prior to me receiving the letter with the current state of affairs, and the other information released by order of the Ombudsmen relating to the recent funding granted to the school, which has clearly been wasted and misappropriated, because the evidence speaks for itself!

The Board of Trustees of the South End School needs to honour their letter to me:

"As a Board we hope that either the charges are withdrawn or you are found not guilty as this would remove our problem. We appreciate the work and enthusiasm that you bring to the school garden and hope that we can be in a position to resume this work in the near future. [signed] Gavin Kennedy, BOT Charman"

This makes a mockery of the claim that "Raue's manner caused concern among some staff and attempts to sever ties with her were made" or whatever Rod O'Leary's statement said - which confirms that his statement to police was an attempt to pervert the course of justice. He knows this perfectly well, his girlfriend is a lawyer. which has perhaps got something to do with his three recent heart attacks and his sudden retirement. He knows perfectly well I never told him I'd been charged with an offence involving a child or anything like it - he knows perfectly well that the story was cooked up at one of these little "information sharing sessions" the Area Commander boasts about! This is nothing more than a witch hunt and it has to stop!

Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there, it get's worse. There is the matter of the school secretary, who had to apologise to a young student for saying to her "you're just a lying little bitch".

Then there is the matter of the letters to and from the groundsman, very similar to the letter sent to me. This man is also the ex manager of the community gardens, and a decent and honourable person. The letter was given to a friend of mine by her son, who had been given it at school - a total breach of the poor man's privacy and of the Privacy Act! The man feels he, like me, was unjustifiably dismissed and humiliated and generally treated appallingly by the Board and staff of the South End School!

That was bad enough, but it get's even worse: I delivered the letters to the groundsman, and told him of the breach of privacy, and an apology was requested from the school, whereupon Emily Brown of the Board of Trustees took it upon herself to make a visit to the home of a friend of mine while I was visiting there and launch a verbal attack on me in front of my friend. I had asked Emily to please convey to the Board my request for a meeting as requested in my letter to them which had been ignored like the previous requests, but instead of responding to the requests she launched into a nasty verbal attack on me in front of my friend, accusing me of being a thief who had stolen the letters about the groundsman out of her letterbox (delusional and in denial - I told the school how I came by them and the witness will confirm it - the school simply needs to face up to it). Emily Brown then, after falsely accusing me of being a thief, said she had called the police and the mental health service about me. I asked her why she had done that, she had no explanation, and it seemed to me that she was the one in need of their assistance, not me. I don't steal things out of letterboxes (or anywhere else) and I'm not delusional, or in any way defective mentally, as has been recently confirmed by experts in the field.

Emily's mother committed suicide some time ago and her brother did the same more recently, she left her husband recently after having an affair with her husbands friend and the coach of her son's soccer team, the break up was messy and involved the police and violence, and she is not a fit and proper person to be on the Board on the basis of her behaviour at my friend's house alone! She went on and on, right in front of my friend, with all this rubbish. The police confirm that she made this false complaint to them in spite of me offering to disclose the name of the witness to the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees! The police wisely ignored it, but unwisely, and corruptly, conspired to have me locked up for a while during their failed attempt to corruptly prosecute me for perverting the course of justice, etc, which the corrupt psychiatrist tried to justify with some ridiculous fairy story about the Principal of the South End School. The evidence of the conspiracy is totally indisputable which is why expert psychiatrists stated that I was "not suffering from any mental illness whatsoever and in particular, not suffering from the onset of paranoid delusions."

As a great kiwi icon once said, "It's the putting right that counts." The Board of Trustees needs to put this right and admit that the allegations made about me are without basis and honour the letter they sent me. And that's just the start of the putting right that needs to be done.
