Planet Key - Electoral Commission censors freedom of speech:

The Electoral Commission has issued a statement banning the broadcast of a song because it deems the song to be "an election program."





The hypocrisy is breathtaking - this decision follows the refusal to uphold complaints about John Key's hour long show on Radio Live. 

Radio Live is owned by Can West and Mediaworks, and the free showcasing of Key's propaganda broadcast was no doubt influenced by Key's forty three million dollar interest free loan to Mediaworks, which was made against legal advice.

Beyer the Liar - election by deception:

Disgraced former MP Georgina Beyer should be in prison for interfering in a Police investigation into serious allegations of fraud and corruption at the former Carterton Community Centre, of which she was Patron at the time.  The committee was comprised of a group of people associated with the Carterton District Council, a major funder of the Centre.  This involved serious conflicts of interest which were the subject of a number of petitions and letters of complaint to Police from myself and a number of senior lawyers and other taxpayers and ratepayers.

These complaints were dealt with by Police, IPCA and a number of other taxpayer funded organisations tasked with addressing such complaints, with utter contempt and indisputably corrupt responses.

The media are yet again trying to con the public while the leader of the so called Mana party has lost the plot - and any credibility or integrity he ever possessed - by putting up a bunch of convicted criminals, thieves, liars, and incompetent and corrupt has beens to stand for the so called Mana Party instead of any of the many capable and competent potential candidates.  Minto, Bradford and Sykes are being silenced and threatened in favour of Donna Awatere-Huata, Georgina Beyer and dodgy Kim Dot Con.

Disgraced former MP Georgina Beyer was deeply involved in the cover up of the massive fraud and other malfeasance at the former Carterton Community Centre, Beyer interfered in the Police investigation into the formal complaints about these matters - which is why 'she' was booted out of parliament the day after there was a vote of no confidence in the government after we faxed the EVIDENCE of Beyer's corrupt interference to all other sitting MPs - the funding ceased immediately the funders became aware of it - Beyer is a FRAUD - those thefts were from the most vulnerable members of our community! The media created a cult of celebrity around Beyer and thug Gary McPhee that is nothing like the reality - Beyer should be in prison - and WILL be, it's only a matter of time!

I made another formal complaint at the Masterton Police station just the other day about these matters and others and Beyer's involvement in them.  I was told to piss off and threatened, as usual.

Beyer's involvement in not only that matter, but the sale by MAF of infected horses to a local meat works and other matters is evidence of serious corruption - which is why Beyer was booted out before 'she' could collect lifetime perks!

Beyer is guilty of fraud and serious corruption! The son of a thieving policeman who was jailed for theft - Beyer will be jailed for fraud and corruption before EVER being sworn into parliament again - people in the Wairarapa are SICKENED by this utter BULLSHIT! - Trying to prop up lying losers like Beyer and Awatere-Huata who was jailed for EXACTLY THE SAME THING - THIEVING FROM VULNERABLE CHILDREN!

The Wairarapa regularly has over twice the national rate of suicide and local Police have been found to have been deliberately covering up a massive amount of paedophilia and child abuse in order to protect the perpetrators - in many cases the Police officers themselves and their mates. Many people swallowed the media version hook line and sinker - but those who bothered to look at the real story are well aware of who Beyer REALLY is - and that's why Beyer has never held a job since being booted out of parliament in disgrace the day after a vote of no confidence in the government. And that's why Beyer is unemployed and broke, instead of working at the UN with aunty Helen and touring the world on whirlwind of acclaimed speaking engagements - Beyer is a fraud - after being booted out of parliament there was the business of the cancelled show in Dunedin - letting everyone down again, the media fawned and grovelled - the Dancing with the "Stars" footage is truly cringeworthy, Beyer is just a silly old drag queen who used to lip synch and posture in my husband's strip club back in the day, and then go and stand on the street corner afterwards - no offence to prostitutes either - but Beyer was quoted recently saying that the legislation was a mistake because it hasn't made things better. Beyer tried to introduce another Bill (to confirm that 'she' was a woman basically), and it was thrown out with ridicule, like a petition Beyer initiated.

The picture painted by the media of Beyer and 'her' mate Gary McPhee was nothing like the reality. Both turned a blind eye to fraud, suicide, child abuse, both achieved their positions by bribery and blackmail and fraud.

Kiwis need to wake up - there is no shortage of good role models with "gender issues" or whatever the pc term is and that's got nothing whatsoever to do with my criticism of Beyer - Beyer failed the three strikes test - useless and incompetent regarding the MAF issue, and outright corrupt regarding the Community Centre/District Council matters, suicide, child abuse - South End school - Kelvyn Alp did what Beyer and the rest of the 'professional politicians' couldn't be bothered doing - writing to the Ombudsmen and demanding that the so called investigation into the shutting down of the program that was REALLY feeding the kids - helping and empowering the kids to grow their OWN kai as well as actively preventing the child abuse and suicide, creating employment, strengthening communities, etc, and it paid off.

Beyer and his mate Jevan Goulter are an insult to democracy and justice!  Corruption, greed and incompetence need to be challenged - the National Business Review reported there is an alarming amount of bribery in New Zealand, Beyer bleated about having to abort the last political attempt because 'her' Taiwanese financial backer died - who needs politicians who are controlled by dodgy anonymous Taiwanese bakers and hypocritical deranged and deluded rent boys who seem to be above the law?!

Here's who's behind Beyer - in more ways than one - Hone Harawira's "Executive Assistant and Press Secretary", Jevan Goulter.  :

As for "feed the kids" - Goulter used to post this sort of thing daily until he was recently reined in a bit - he's a selfish lying hypocrite who is completely self focused as the emails below prove, not to mention the updates which are coming shortly - this is par for the course when daddy's pulling the strings:

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!

John Key rates himself - with a slap in the face for the Pike River mine families thrown in for good measure:

John Key has just rated himself a 9 out of ten for his handling of the Pike River mine fiasco - which has been proven to be due to the negligence of HIS OWN MINISTER - Kate Wilkinson, who was "gone by lunchtime" when the inevitable report was released.  He's rated himself an 8 out of ten for his handling of the Dotcom fiasco.  

Unbelievably, after uttering this pathologically narcissistic and incredibly insensitive and thoughtless rubbish - to which the good old sycophantic media bought into hook line and sinker as usual, Key had the gall to say he was looking forward to spending some time with his family - as if he wasn't at the baseball with his family while the Dotcom fiasco raged - this man is a pathological liar and self obsessed narcissist with delusions of grandeur - feel free to add a comment with your own ratings below this post.


Over two years later John Key continues to treat the families and friends of the men inside the mine with utter contempt.  He continues to manipulate the media with grand but hollow announcements and vague proclamations - declaring that he rates himself with a nine out of ten for his handling of the fiasco that caused the deaths of twenty nine men and left grieving wives, mothers, fathers, brothers and sister and children all over the world.  The media fawn over John Key's embarrassing "Gangnam style" dancing - Andrew Little clearly cares more about this rubbish than the Pike River miners' families too - and then there's John Key's gay marriage to some bloke called Bryce.

Listen to his mumbling deceitful bull**** for yourself:


There's more of his whoppers at this link, like this only worse, and more about the Pike River mine at this link.  More shite straight from the horses mouth - top marks to journalist Fran Mold:

High Court Appeal successful - 18 December 2012

Today the High Court heard my appeal against conviction and sentence on a charge of trespass at the Mobil garage in Carterton, Smith Hare and Christison.  The appeal was granted and the conviction quashed by Williams J:

The Crown submissions, which I didn't get to see until after the hearing had finished, was an orchestrated litany of lies, deliberately intended to mislead the Court and pervert the course of justice - at the taxpayer's expense - what a travesty of justice!

For example, the Crown submissions contain the following whoppers (after waffling on for three pages regarding various case precedents narrowing the options on technicalities, etc):

"The matter took almost a year to be heard, due in no small measure to the appellant failing to appear and warrants for her arrest being issued."  - What utter LIES!  The police prosecutor and deputy registrar in Masterton are a de facto couple and they like to have my matters set down for 9:15 instead of 10:00 - they know I don't have a car, rely on public transport and can't get there till ten o'clock, they just like to obtain the warrant because they know that if they can get a certain number of warrants it increases their opportunities to detain me for nothing in the future and inflict more of their sadistic unnecessary taxpayer funded cruelty, and make me look like some kind of criminal or something just because I'm reliant on public transport, so they set the matter down for 9:15 every time and then obtain the warrant purely in order to pervert the course of justice - knowing full well that I'll be there shortly after ten o'clock - except if they've moved the Court across town and not informed anyone!

The delays were caused by police failing to provide disclosure, etc, and the prosecutor's conflict of interest on the ACTUAL date of the first fixture, which was July 4th.  They regularly issue the warrant at 9:45 and I arrive at ten and the matter proceeds, they are just trying to establish a case against me for not turning up to Court and nothing could be further from the truth - it's the POLICE who fail to turn up - regularly!  - If I arrive at Court they either don't show up or try and get an adjournment in the hope that I won't turn up next time - because they only way they can get convictions against me is either have then set down before corrupt Judges, or hold the hearing in my absence!

There is a very long history of police failing to turn up to Court, and of them withdrawing charges, and of my being acquitted.  There is also a long history of local police LYING about me.

Then there's the matter of Judge Barry's "Minute" of 1 February 2012 which makes it quite clear that I was illegally imprisoned in February 2010 after Police and Court staff tried to conspire to manipulate the Court process but were caught out by Judge Behrens, and then corruptly obtained a warrant by lying to the Court, telling the Court that I failed to appear - when the fixture was a figment of their imagination and a purely a result of their own incompetence!  Back to Williams J, and the continuing, deliberate, misleading fiction from the Crown prosecutor, Mr Murray:

"The first fixture was set down for 16 July.  Ms Raue did not appear and the case was adjourned until 12 September 2012.  Again she did not appear and the matter proceeded by way of formal proof."  

What nonsense!  The matter was set down for a formal proof hearing on July 4th 2012 - NOT July 16th!

I arrived at the Court at the appointed time for the formal proof hearing on July 4th, Court was being held in the Frank Cody Lounge in Masterton, having previously been held in a variety of venues including a caravan.

The police prosecutor, Sgt Lawrence, disclosed a conflict of interest to Judge Hobbs, who adjourned the hearing accordingly.  So that was the fault of the police, not me, they should have sorted that out before the matter was called (which was about 11:30), they should have had another prosecutor available, but as usual, they couldn't organise a picnic in the park never mind a proper Court hearing - the manner in which the Masterton District Court operates is an insult to justice and an utter travesty.  Evidence of this point is contained in the Court record, which states (scan will be posted soon):

"04 July 2012 - P A H Hobbs, District Court Judge: RAL [remanded at large] to 16/7/2012 - 9:15 am nominal date to set new fixture date.  Sergeant Lawrence the prosecutor knows Mrs Raue - prosecutor feels uncomfortable in those circumstances.  Mrs Raue regards the prosecutor as a good friend and does not want her prosecuting in those circumstances.  No other prosecutor available.  - Mrs Raue's attendance excused on that date, Mr Hard to advise of new date."

Sgt Warwick Burr seems to be responsible for that particular debacle - he was present in the Court and appeared to be trying to bully Sgt Lawrence to proceed regardless of the conflict of interest and regardless of the fact that he knew perfectly well that the charge was corruptly laid and the information the prosecutor was being told to present to the Court was a litany of lies!  The Court record makes it clear that the delays were NOT caused by me they were caused by the police and the lawyers!

The Masterton Police have a habit of wasting Court time and taxpayers money on this sort of malicious vexatious vendetta, going right back to the charge of Bill Sticking they laid against me - police were forced to apologise to me for dragging the matter out for about two years and then not turning up in Court on the day of the hearing after it became obvious to everyone that they were never going to win the case and were likely to be pinned down in cross examination in a most incriminating manner regarding the fraud at the former Carterton Community Centre and the involvement of the local constable's girlfriend in the serious fraud going on there, and the refusal of the police to investigate those matters and others.

The decision of Williams J notes two points from my submissions, the first being that Mr Hard advised me of the new date and I advised him that I couldn't attend on that date because I was house sitting and managing two rental properties hundreds of miles away at that time.  There was also the fact that the Court moved on 14th August from the Frank Cody Lounge to the Shop Rite Supermarket site (I kid you not) - there was an armed 'stand off' the day they opened there, it is horrible and dangerous.  Nobody advised me - or any of the other defendants by the look of it - that the Court had moved.

The other point Williams J noted was that there was very strong and indisputable evidence which contradicted Constable Dallinger's claim that he served me with a trespass notice on 4th March as he claimed, and I explained to the honourable Williams J why I could prove beyond reasonable doubt on the basis of three different pieces of evidence - one of which was actually POLICE evidence, that Dallinger's claim was not true.

Dallinger corruptly refused to investigate the fraud that has been occuring on a regular basis at the local Mobil station, with certain staff taking customers' EFTPOS cards and then telling them that "the EFTPOS machine is out of order, we'll have to do a 'manual transaction'" - what the customers don't realise is that the staff involved are stealing the card details and using them to defraud their bank accounts.  Be warned, check your receipt AND your bank statement carefully if you do business at the Mobil station in Carterton, and keep checking the statements - the fraudulent transaction from my account occured several weeks after the card details were stolen.

I have a huge amount of other evidence and witnesses regarding this matter, the charge has been corruptly laid.  We will be cross examining Constable Dallinger about his malicious vendetta and how he and Constable Pope kicked in the bedroom door of a fourteen year old girl during another malicious incident of corrupt bullying, when he tried to charge me for theft of a bicycle which wasn't stolen, so he kicked in the door and arrested me for allegedly swearing at him.  I told Williams J that he is a rogue officer (they seem to gravitate toward the Wairarapa where they know corruption and incompetence are par for the course).

The Secret Life of Information - Outrageous conduct of British media:

"The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers, which are cited to justify it."

President John F. Kennedy

Address to newspaper publishers, April 27, 1961

 The Privacy Act has special provisions dealing with the 'news medium' and 'news activity'.  Journalists are subject only to the jurisdiction of the Press Council and Broadcasting Standards Authority, both are a bit of a joke, and good examples of the failure of self regulation and lack of ethical or moral standards in what passes for 'journalism' today.

This has been demonstrated by the recent scandal involving Rupert Murdoch,Rebecca Brooks, David Cameron and several other British politicians (who enjoyed 'riding' and other activities with Ms Brooks) - hacking the phones of teenage murder victims among other things - perverting the course of justice.

Here in NZ we've got John Key acting against legal advice (again)  and 'giving' the media a big handout right around the time of the last election which - surprise, surprise, he won after his controversial 'radio show' which was the subject of formal complaints shortly before the last election.

On the morning of 7 December the body of Jacintha Saldahna was found, news reports indicate she committed suicide, after two Australian radio station hosts made a "prank call" to King Edward VII hospital where Jacintha Saldahna worked.  She left two little children, and grieving family and friends.

Alcohol and journalism don't mix:

The question mark in the title of this article is a real Freudian slip. This is a work of fiction, designed to cover up a firmly entrenched local problem of alcohol abuse. Police support and condone it because they are among the worst offenders.

Sam Priestley died after being pressured to drink a yard glass of beer in the family home and then go to the pub and drink some more. The reporter, Nathan Crombie uses words like "the traditional quaff" "cheered on by family and friends", etc, to try and 'normalise' and excuse this behaviour. Sam was a really, really nice guy, his mother worked with me at St Matthews Collegiate, as a Boarding Matron, she is an alcoholic, she encourages and approves of this culture of alcohol abuse and is in total denial of the fact that alcohol was almost certainly involved in the death of her son, and was almost certainly the cause of it. Recently it has been reported in the news that the Department of Corrections is stating it is dangerous to drink a similar quantity of WATER in a short period of time.

Nathan Crombie is a great supporter of this sick attitude to alcohol and bending the truth to the point of lying, it's time to have a good look at the journalists who shape the opinions of the community with this fiction. They invent and fabricate stories like this to protect their friends and their reputations.

This attitude of denial, and "cheering on" this "traditional quaff", is causing the problem. Five days after Sam died people who should have known better were proclaiming that it had "nothing to do with alcohol or drugs." - Alcohol IS a drug for goodness sake and this kind of "reporting" isn't journalism - it's FICTION and propaganda!  It was another year or so until the Coroner's report.

Five days after Sam died, the irresponsible authors of fiction at the Wairarapa Times-Age published the following:

"Sam died suddenly of an undetermined medical condition at his 21st birthday party at the Homestead Tavern on Saturday."

Mr Phillips said it was "not pills or booze or anything like that" that led to Sam's death, but "faulty wiring was probably the best way to describe it".

Sam's father, Randall Priestley, agreed with this assessment, but added an alternative view.

"Maybe his heart was overfull ? look at everyone here." (sic).

An undetermined medical condition is one that doesn't exist yet basically.

Recently another young man died, and it will be a long while before it's known exactly what caused his death - if ever. It's possible it may be to an undetermined medical condition, but it's important to examine the decisions of coroners.

This is a link to another creative decision from a Coroner. This young woman expressed a clear intent and a plan, and then took the action she said she would for the reason she gave, no matter how much others don't like that, and the decision that it isn't suicide is outrageous quite frankly. If it's not, if it's "text bullying" - then the NZ Police need to charge Rachel Betteridge and her husband forthwith for sending me messages saying "you need a bullet" and "watch your back" - not to mention PERJURY!

Betteridge lied to police, I did not send her "over 60 offensive text messages" at all - I didn't send her ONE offensive text message! Statements from two Justices of the Peace, George Groombridge and Ken English, state clearly that they examined the phone Betteridge alleges she received the messages from, and found those two threatening and offensive messages FROM Betteridge in the text message 'Inbox'.

Subject: Raue complaint

Hi Mary,

In response to Ms Raue's request regarding the statements that were legally unsafe to publish.

The statements in her complaint, which she asked to be published in full, which would have been of concern to publish were:

"Because a person believes that the Wairarapa police and Court staff are unprofessional to the point of being corrupt doesnt' mean the person is delusional. Making hundreds of child abuse files "disappear" and claim they were "lost" is basically corruption. Claiming that the file regarding the investigation into the allegations of fraud regarding the Carterton Community Centre "does not exist" to cover up the fact that the investigation never took place is corruption."

 Also the statement ending:

 ... apart from depression and stress due to the ongoing campaign of harrassment, and unfair treatment, from the local police."

Another concern about publishing the complaint in its entirety was that it refered to a number of matters which were not published in the Times-Age.

Yours sincerely,

Hello Kate,

It is now two weeks since I sent you the email from the editor, and the deadline of 5 March has passed without any response from you.

If I haven't received your comments by 1.00pm Friday 9 March I will consider that you no longer wish to proceed with the complaint and will advise the Council members accordingly.

Regards,

Mary

7th March 2012:  "Oh I most certainly want to proceed with it Mary, and I HAVE responded in part so don't you forget that, and am still waiting for specifics of what part of my candidate profile that I paid $400 for were deemed potentially actionable as you know very well!
Please hurry up and provide it without further delay!!!  I provided all the correct information regarding the report under complaint to the WTA and they deliberately ignored it and published these utter lies about my health!  Now stop mucking around and tell me what the specific reason was that the profile wasn't published - this is a separate complaint and one forthcoming about the article I have just been made aware of on the Stuff website!  More shortly on that!"

"Twelve days?  I have had to wait MONTHS for this pathetic and laughable excuse and now you want to give me twelve days to respond, when I have told you I am under pressure to deliver urgently required social services in the community because of all the child abuse and suicide,which is made infinitely harder by the utter claptrap which is printed in the Wairarapa Times-Age.

One thing you can address immediately is the fact that Wairarapa Times-Age are operating a facebook page as an individual instead of a media organisation or local business, which means that they can print all the propaganda and lies they like, while the victims of this cannot comment or defend themselves without sending a "friend request", which is then used by the admins of the page to make malicious complaints to facebook admins regarding "making friend requests to people you don't know".

This is unethical and despicable.

I will respond to this email by within seven days from today's date, which is when I received it.  You might have to postpone your meeting."

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!:

The Secret Life of Information - Wairarapa Times-Age Backpedals:

Here's a link to the latest response from the Press Council, with the attached correspondence.  Note the sheer, utter arrogance and cheek of both the reporter AND the editor!  Not to mention the fact that they are both proven WRONG.

Here's the link to the original article, published over two months ago:

Here's the link to some more of the politically biased rubbish they print.

Here's the link to the evidence that there is not, and never was, anything wrong with my health.  Here's a link to more evidence of that, and there is even more evidence at the posts after that and the posts after that.

The evidence is overwhelming, and numerous links can be found to it on this site and many others.

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."
