Dear Vince,
Please stop defaming me. I do Not trade under the TI name or under the TINZ name (or a fictitious version) in any way.
Nor does the New Zealand government or any government agency fund me or my personal activities.
Yours sincerely,
Suzanne Snively
Executive Chair, TINZ
Dear Suzanne
Please find here with your linked in page from last year which I saved and is attached . You will note that it states
Executive Chair
Transparency International New Zealand Ltd
November 2010 – Present (3 years) | New Zealand
As a country with low corruption, New Zealand has the potential to be an examplar to others,
demonstrating how this can improve business profitability through lower cost of doing business in
overseas countries, better access, lower cost of capital and for those listed companies, a higher
yeilding share price.

I notice that you have now changed it http://www.linkedin.com/pub/suzanne-snively-onzm/27/92b/56b
and you who defend no corruption in NZ now accuse Vince of defamation .. isn’t that under hand ????
As to the funding You may wish to refer to your own correspondence which shows who your sponsors are. They look suspiciously like Government departments . I have taken the liberty of saving those documents as well .
Unlike transparency international Inc , Transparency New Zealand is totally self-funded and receives no funds from any one
We are totally independent and do not have connections with international banks such as credit Suisse ( previously Jarden & Co) or large audit companies who promote NZ as an investment centre.
I have for years tried to tell you about corruption in New Zealand but you deliberately turn a blind eye/ Deaf ear. The instance I have is that of identity fraud ,Funny then that you should change the identity of the company you claimed to represent ( by the way who or what is New Zealand Army Leadership Board)
I see identity fraud in companies all the time I know how corruption is perpetrated in New Zealand through our slack controls and systems , it must be heaven for money launders.
New Zealand keeps its “ least corrupt” status through your hard work -as an economist you must be aware that an unblemished reputation is vital to business growth so let’s encourage some growth .
As a former Police officer and now Private Investigator I find that honesty is the best policy and I would rather be in a corrupt country knowing it is corrupt than a country which uses smoke screens and mirrors to hide corruption.
I have conclusive evidence of a person writing legislation for his own business plan .. advising on the legislation and then applying for law enforcement powers under a fictitious name .. and getting it due to deceiving the minister.
He then ran this operation from council premises using council resources and infrastructure .
He covered up using a fictional trust which I can prove is fictional but I can’t get the court to comprehend this overwhelming evidence.
This is all apparently condoned in New Zealand its not corrupt therefore there is no corruption .
When Vince questioned the ethics of Stiassny, he promptly had his arse sued off .. can’t have any one questioning our business practices.. what will the world think ?
Suzanne when we have to lose your home , marriage , go to jail and/or substantial sums of money as a result of being a whistle-blower on serious government corruption then NZ cannot claim to be the least corrupt.
The least corrupt country would have procedures in place to investigate such claims and would take notice of the evidence placed before the court. Instead we allow the civil court to be used to pervert the course of justice .
The least corrupt country would not facilitate a business man paying crown law office to drop 22 fraud charges , they would make him face the court and let the judge decide.
Suzanne you can’t keep your head in the sand and plead ignorance , you are deliberately portraying New Zealand to be corruption free by ignoring stories of real corruption which are being ignored by the very government departments who support your organisation and pay your wages for the so called integrity study.
You must know that if you do an honest integrity study your funders will not support you next time round, and you will find yourself like me doing it all for NIX , I can tell you it’s not easy.
Suzanne You claim to be the director of Transparency International New Zealand Ltd when there is no such company , you apparently don’t know the difference between an incorporated society and a limited liability company.
You probably wouldn’t recognise corruption if you fell across it.. it’s not just bribery , it goes deeper than that and if you were truly interested you would sit down and talk to persons such as Vince and myself instead of threatening defamation.. we have both been there done that .. boring.
When you take time to look at actual case studies of corruption in New Zealand and report your finding from both sides then you would be giving a fair picture, but when you totally exclude people from your organisation because they have a corruption story to tell then you are showing bias which in a situation such as your is in my opinion- a corrupt practice.
I have asked to join many times but You have told me that my company name is too close and that is why I can’t join.. for the record I tried to join about three times before I set up the company .. Transparency New Zealand is a limited liability company you are transparency International ( New Zealand ) Inc .. quite different.
Any house wife will tell you that you can sweep dirt under the rug for so long but sooner or later it is will start to smell. In Auckland we can smell it , we can see it and we are just waiting for the government to cover it up and tell us that we were all wrong about our Mayor …. see no corruption.
See no evil speak no evil let’s keep those foreign investments rolling in keep the share prices up . Good for economy.

Since de-regulation
Leaky Homes – so called public enquiry The spokesperson online told me – in no holds barred “We can’t stifle innovation, you know”
This was after I asked her if builders were still using untreated timber and faulty materials to build new homes. I pointed out that State houses in Cannons Creek lasted longer as they had been built with better materials.
50% of Earthquake home damage was deliberately denied so as to avoid pay outs. They were told that they had leaky homes etc. The investigation team went around in unidentified cars to avoid the help they were supposed to be giving.
Generic medicines report – some years ago – resulted in withdrawal of a great deal of drugs; as cheaper materials had been substituted some being unfit for human use. The censorship of some damming evidence was censored – Oh we can’t have the public losing faith in the health system. The hepatitis testing kits report – censorship . Why were the new generation testing kits not approved, which consequently resulted in serious results for patients who later sued & were compensated for the gross error of decision makers.
The Auditor General recently had to make a huge payout on her report errors at Mangawhai development up North.
Interesting that a previous Auditor General ended up in prison – Botswana Sunsets, strawberries & champagne & home made chocolates. Of course falsified travel claims. The trouble with getting too close to Laise Faire Govt, Officials stance is that these people fail to carry out their regulatory duties, whistle blowers amazingly have to be protected as they face sacking or pay offs or death as in the City Banks gentleman that found information on a second hand computer disk. Corruption in high places is blatantly eroding our ability to be transparent, Oh the PM thinks we should not be jealous of the rich. Well the head of ACC or Social welfare could easily take half of t $500thousand & fill the roles they are there for – rather than filling their pockets,
