reply to Wendy Brandon Counsel for Auckland Council
Subject: RE: complaint with regards to Wendy Brandon
I wish to clarify the fact with regards to AWINZ. I am not on a campaign and I’m not in contempt. I have asked questions from council repeatedly with regards to the right of “AWINZ “ to operate from council premises .. AWINZ does not exist it is a fiction created by the then manager of dog and stock control . I cannot be in contempt for questioning something which does not exist and something for which there is no court order.
Council has never investigated this use of council resources for private pecuniary gain and it has been covered up by both you and the previous counsel for council.
I am the victim of gross injustice , I questioned serious corruption in council and was sued for it in circumstances where I was denied a defence and the uncorroborated evidence of the council manager is the subject of a perjury complaint.
The matter is now before the court to overturn the judgement which was obtained by fraud. The evidence to show that the judgement was obtained by fraud was evidence which the council manager sought to have withheld from me.
To get the evidence it has been like extracting hens teeth. Had Waitakere council and Auckland council conducted an investigation at any time they would have found that the council premises were being used for other than council business.
This is evident from the audit report of MAF which states “it was at times difficult during the audit to distinguish where the structure of AWINZ finished and where WCC began hence it was at times difficult to separate the AWINZ organisation from that of WCC. For example AWINZ inspectors are not employed by AWINZ but are all employees of WCC page 9 all personnel ( including the AWINZ inspectors ) based at the WCC animal accommodation facility (48 the concourse ) are employees of WCC It must be noted that AWINZ does not have any employees as such , apart from when they contract to the film industry to monitor AW issues, this did lead to some confusion regarding he demarcation between the two organisations” these words are not mine they are the words of MAF source http://www.transparency.net.nz/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/final-draft-audit-2008.pdf
You appear to have a fixation about concealing this corruption in Waitakere and then on top of it you do business with Brookfields who are heavily involved in the court action and against whom I have lodged complaint with the LCRO and the Law society.
I make a complaint about your actions and you see it fit to have my emails diverted so that they only go to you , where does that fit in with the ethical requirements of lawyers ?
Please provide me with the authority which enabled you to do divert me emails You have an obligation to the law and as Counsel for council you have to ensure open and transparent governance as set out in the Local Government act.
I consider your actions to be a gross conflict of interest and corruption.
I am somewhat confused by your statement
I also confirm that all of the information, records, reports, correspondence and material that is the subject of your ongoing requests has been provided to you by Auckland Council and its predecessor local authority, Waitakere City Council, or it cannot be located, or it does not exist.
I know that I did not obtain everything that was in the Waitakere animal welfare file so how can you make the statement above ? It appears to be a fob off to me, I am sorry if it is an inconvenience to you that I ask for transparency on a very serious matter of council corruption.
I have asked you to look at just a few documents, if you were only a half competent lawyer those documents would have had alarm bells ringing.
The evidence and the questions are set out in my email and blog entitled Councillors kept in the dark with regards to corruption
The evidence which proved that your council manager was involved in corrupting are in your own documents you have no place in protecting employees, former employees or fellow lawyers. You are paid by the public and need to protect the public from what was a perfect fraud.
I am writing to you in an effort to deal with this before taking it to the law society , I look forward to you providing answers to the following urgently Please provide me( by way of privacy act ) and as a provision of the lawyers and conveyancers act rules of conduct.
- with the authority which gave you the claim of right to divert me emails from the council computer system.
- With copies of all my emails which did not go through to the person or persons to whom they were addressed and were intercepted by you
- The memorandum which you sent through to the person in charge of the computer system instructing them to divert emails from me.
- Any correspondence between yourself and Brookfields lawyers which pertains to me.
- I would like you to address the criminal offences section 248-253 crimes act what I am looking for is your evidence that proves that you did not breach any of these provisions of the crimes act when you sought to have my emails diverted. I would also like to know how these criminal offences fir in with your interpretation that “Such diversion is entirely legitimate and simply a practical measure to ensure that your correspondence is managed appropriately”
Looking forward to your prompt reply
Regards
Grace Haden
