There is an old Hatchet that has been in our family  for many years , it  has been handed down from father to son and has served  loyally each generation . The head was sharpened a few times and then the handle broke  so  it had a new  handle  , then the head   was beyond sharpening and it  got a new head , I think it has had five new Handel  now and three new heads.  But its still the same old trusty Hatchet.. despite the fact that the handle is now  varnished and the head is blue .

What has this got to do with the SPCA.. well everything

Look up Wikipedia  this is the definition shown

A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is a common name for non-profit animal welfare organizations around the world. The oldest SPCA organization is the RSPCA, which was founded in England in 1824. SPCA organizations operate independently of each other and campaign for animal welfare, assist in the prevention of cruelty to animals cases, rehabilitation and finding homes for maltreated and unwanted animals that can be reestablished into new homes. Policies regarding animal euthanasia, handling feral cats, and similar issues vary by organization.

As you can see this fits in pretty closely with the old constitution purpose which has existed since 1995

The Objects for which the Royal Society is established are:
(a) To prevent cruelty to animals by:(i) Encouraging and sustaining an intelligent public opinion regarding man’s duty to animals;
(ii) Enforcing where practicable the laws which exist for animals’protection;
(iii) Promoting further legislation for the protection of animals, as may be appropriate;
(iv) Any other ways and means as the Royal Society may deem appropriate.
(b) To co-ordinate the activities of the various Branches and Member Societies;
(c) To promote Branches in districts where there is no Branch or Member Society in existence;
(d) To generally do all such acts and things as shall or may be for the benefit of Branches or Member Societies or in the interests of animals and their welfare

the new constitution which has just been adopted MJC-101622-1-4205-1 RNZSPCA Constitution Final Adopted 17 June 2017

4. Purposes
4.1 The purposes of SPCA are to create a better life for, and prevent cruelty to and neglect of, Animals and in particular to:
a. be the lead organisation for Animal welfare in New Zealand;
b. educate New Zealanders about their Animal welfare responsibilities including developing and delivering programmes and activities;
c. establish and maintain facilities and provide services primarily throughout New Zealand and, if it considers it necessary to do so, also Australia and the Pacific Islands, to improve the welfare of Animals using standards, policies and practices based on best practice and scientific knowledge;
d. promote and advocate for Animal welfare legislation and standards;
e. act as an Approved Organisation under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, including taking action against those who fail to comply with their legal obligations relating to the physical, health, and behavioural needs of Animals.

the proposed branch constitution   is also has the objects   changed  MJC-101622-1-4206-1 RNZSPCA Branch Rules Final 17 June 2017  but   since they  are looking at winding up the   branches  the  wording of the constitution is   basically irrelevant as  once   this is adopted the  branch will be wound up and  cease to exist  under the  one policy  following this transition MJC-101622-1-4207-1 RNZSPCA Transition Regulations Final

A new CEO  is being recruited Final Position Description CEO SPCA to do the  dirty work  of  transitioning from a society which exists to prevent cruelty  to animals to one which    rely on  animals suffering for an income stream.

To me this appears to be a juxtaposition , as the stated  aim of “act as an Approved Organisation under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, including taking action against those who fail to comply with their legal obligations relating to the physical, health, and behavioural needs of Animals”   cannot occur  unless  animals are harmed  and since there is a financial benefit in enforcing  the act the SPCA may no longer act  to PREVENT   cruelty  as  from an accountants point of view   the $$$  occurs when animals are harmed.

Mr Trainer is an accountant,  ex  Ernest and Young , is he going to spend  some of the 25 million on educating people and  prevention methods or is he  going to make  $$$ for the society by prosecution  ?   What would an accountant  do ????

Of course  they would “promote and advocate for Animal welfare legislation and standards;” as this will ensure more  stringent levels of compliance   and more $$$

I have to wonder why  Andrea Midgen  wore two hats for this time, was it because  her two hats suited this part of the transition , despite it  being a gross  conflict of interest, why not    advertise for an  independent CEO  10 months ago  ????All too contrived my  my sense of comfort.

So if you are the   applicant  for the position of  the new CEO  responding to this email please be aware that you will be  assisting in the destruction of  what was once a  trusty old society .

Recruitment – RNZSPCA CEO

To: Centre Managers/CEOs, Chairs
CC: National Office staff and RNZSPCA Board

 Please forward this email to your Committee/Board and to the staff/volunteers in your Centre

 Dear all

Following the strong vote in favour of the One SPCA entity at the AGM on Saturday 17 June, the Board has decided to initiate the process for the recruitment of a permanent CEO for the RNZSPCA. As you are aware Andrea Midgen has been ‘double-hatting’ for the past 10 months as both the CEO of Auckland SPCA and the Acting CEO of RNZSPCA.

The CEO of RNZSPCA is probably the most critical role in our new structure and it would be highly advantageous to have a confirmed CEO in the role during the months leading up to “Day 1” (1 November 2017) to ensure strong and focused leadership during the transition phase to One SPCA.

We have made a decision that, in the first instance, we will open this role to applications from internal candidates only, i.e. employees within the SPCAs across the country. If we are unable to find a suitable candidate from amongst our ranks we will then go to the wider external market.

As you can see from the attached position description this role requires (amongst other things):

–          Strong leadership skills and proven experience in managing and developing leadership teams

–          Experience in leading change

–          Good all-round management competencies

–          Strong financial and commercial acumen and experience, and

–          A collaborative working style with a track record of building effective relationships.

We have asked Kira Schaffler as the Project Manager for the One SPCA project to coordinate the initial steps of the internal recruitment process. Kira has extensive experience in the recruitment and appointment of executives and will provide a strictly confidential coordination point for initial applications.

Our planned timetable for this process is as follows:

Internal candidates submit their CVs to Kira Schaffler. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence	By 14 July
Remuneration, People Dev & Nominations Committee (sub-Committee of the Board) interviews short-listed candidates and recommends preferred candidate to the Board	By 28 July
Appointment of CEO	By 11 August

Please forward this email to your staff and volunteers in your Centres. It’s important that all employees are kept informed about the recruitment process for this key leadership role in our future SPCA.

If you have any queries about the process please contact Kira Schaffler on 021 924 845 or kira.schaffler@spca.nz who will be able to answer your questions on a strictly confidential basis.

Regards

Gordon Trainer

RNZSPCA President

I wish to file this formal complaint with the charities Services  

on the grounds

• significant financial loss to the charity, or the illegal or corrupt use of the charity’s funds or resources;
• serious harm to beneficiaries (especially to vulnerable beneficiaries);
• charities deliberately being used for private pecuniary profit or to abuse New Zealand’s tax laws;
• where a charity’s independence may be compromised;
• serious wrongdoing by a charity, its officers/trustees or employees, that damages or has the potential to damage its reputation and/or the reputation of the charitable sector;
• serious non-compliance in a charity which could constitute serious risk to  public interest;
• damaging public trust and confidence in Charities Services  as an effective regulator

I am a  member of the Hawkes bay  branch of the RNZSPCA ,  That branch is one of  the many members which make up the RNZSPCA.

Recently I attended a meeting of  Taupo residents  and Taupo branch members who were concerned   about being disenfranchised  from  their  society  .

What the Taupo  members and I have in common  is that as members  we have not been able to vote on  the one SPCA proposal

It appears  that there is a group of people who  have taken upon themselves to promote  the one SPCA concept  but have manipulated the   branches and  member societies in such a way as to ensure that their  objective of   disestablishing the   smaller society and taking their   assets is achieved.

Andrea Midgen  has now filed a new constitution which was allegedly passed last week in circumstances  which stretch  the  concept of democracy  as delegates  for at least 15  societies   had no mandate  from the members who  they purported to represent .

The new constitution for he RNZSPCA  which went  live today   differs entirely from the   previous  constitutions and  has  adopted new objectives for  the society  this now reads

4.1 The purposes of SPCA are to create a better life for, and prevent cruelty to and neglect of, Animals in New Zealand and in particular to:

a. be the lead organisation for Animal welfare in New Zealand;

b.educate New Zealanders about their Animal welfare responsibilities including developing and delivering programmes and activities;

c.establish and maintain facilities and provide services throughout New Zealand to improve the welfare of Animals using standards, policies and practices based on best practice and scientific knowledge;

d.promote and advocate for Animal welfare legislation and standards;

e.act as an Approved Organisation under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, including taking action against those who fail to comply with their legal obligations relating to the physical, health, and behavioural needs of Animals

Since the  objectives of the society  have changed  they may now  no longer qualify for charitable status

I note that   in particular they wish to provide a better life for animals  ..  this probably needs to be read in conjunction with this  you tube recording which  demonstrates the   wastage of   donated charitable funds.   Providing a better life could include buying a better car for the owner of the  animal  something which according to this  recording  has happened in the past .

To be the lead Animal welfare  organisation .. sounds like empire building, in the other  hand Andrea Midgens boss, Gordon trainer has already registered a company called  SPCA Aotearoa.  this brings about a potential of conflict of interest for her  as acting CEO of the RNZSPCA and raises the question  is she acting for the RNZSPCA or for her employer  the  Auckland SPCA and sole  share holder of  SPCA Aotearoa  Ltd

Gordon Trainer  is the sole director  of SPCA Aotearoa  Ltd  he  is also the only person  from the Auckland SPCA  who   has  control of some sort of the   25 million dollars which unsuspecting benefactors have left the the SPCA and which has found its way to the   Auckland SPCA. In  the mean time  smaller branches burdened by extra financial  commitments by being billed to take on an employee of the RNZSPCA choosing , have been   wound up

educate New Zealanders about their Animal welfare responsibilities  , they are currently  euthanizing more animals than ever before  , they  are spending more on   human  resources  and corporate wages  particularly looking at getting the inspectorate   going and prosecuting more new  Zealanders.    so is education  going to be through prosecution ?  It has to be of note that it is the SPCA   and not the RNZSPCA  who have the team of lawyers on board .

.establish and maintain facilities and provide services throughout New Zealand to improve the welfare of Animals, since the one spca movement began a number of  local SPCA”s have  been  disestablished , their buildings sold  and   as a result  there are fewer SPCA’a than before , e.g. Te Kuiti, Waikato  , Te Awamutu  etc

promote and advocate for Animal welfare legislation and standards  again their objectives appear to be more in line with a law enforcement authority than a charity  whose beneficiaries are animals

act as an Approved Organisation under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, The government  has responsibilities for animal welfare this is primarily   performed through the MPI and the police .   A former  RNZPSCA  president , Neil Wells ,who was also a barrister wrote the bill for  animal welfare act and was  Independent adviser  to the select committee  and  did not declare his conflict of interest when he included  the provisions for the concept  of  Approved organisations.

Mr Wells went on to   set up his own ” approved organisation  The animal welfare institute of new Zealand   which in reality did not exist and was just a trading name for himself.  He relied on  what I have found to be a fraudulent application, followed by misleading information to the minister there is more just search this site  using the  key word AWINZ

The persons who have been behind this drive for the  SPCA to develop the inspectorate just happen to former  MPI inspectors . this   whole concept is not about  being a charity but  about starting a law enforcement group  using  the 25 million or so ,this has been   side lined into trusts.

These funds  which were given to the SPCA have been deprived  from the true  beneficiaries , the animals.   there appears to be a massive misappropriation of charitable funds  because  people dont realize that the SPCA  has been hijacked.

The new powers are equally   frightening

establish a Board, commissions, committees. forums, and other groups, including consultative groups,and to delegate its powers and functions to such groups;

be an Approved Organisation under the Animal Welfare Act 1999 with such powers and .authority as specified under that Act

invest, lend, advance or otherwise deal with monies and secure the payment of such monies with or without charges, or guarantees; ( these are charitable funds ! )

produce, develop. create, own, licence and otherwise exploit. use and protect Intellectual Property;

purchase or otherwise acquire all or any part of the property, assets and liabilities of any one or more companies, institutions, trusts, incorporated societies or organisations whose activities or objects are similar (in whole or in part} to those of SPCA, or with which SPCA is authorised to merge or amalgamate,or for any purpose designed to benefit SPCA;

And this is the bit where   I believe SPCA aotearoa comes in

establish, acquire, carry on or participate in any business or enterprise which fulfills the Purposes of SPCA (in whole or part);

q. be a member of, affiliate or be associated in any other way with, any organisation which has objects which are similar, in whole or in part, to the Purposes of SPCA; and.

With the   change in the objectives   the transformation is complete   below is the  former purpose  for comparison

OBJECTS

5. The Objects for which the Royal Society is established are:

(a) To prevent cruelty to animals by:

(i) Encouraging and sustaining an intelligent public opinion regarding man’s duty to animals;

(ii) Enforcing where practicable the laws which exist for animals’protection;

(iii) Promoting further legislation for the protection of animals, as may be appropriate;

(iv) Any other ways and means as the Royal Society may deem appropriate.

(b) To co-ordinate the activities of the various Branches and Member Societies;

(c) To promote Branches in districts where there is no Branch or Member Society in existence;

(d) To generally do all such acts and things as shall or may be for the benefit of Branches or Member Societies or in the interests of animals and their welfare.

Evidence  that the RNZSPCA has not  been acting  in accordance with its former objectives  can be found   by looking at

1. the increase of euthanasia this is not in the interest of animals
2. the closure of branches which could have been saved  with charitable funds which according to this recording have been misappropriated 
3. the   replacement of volunteers with paid RNZSPCA staff and then passing  the   costs on to the branch so as to  cause financial hardship  which is then used to  wind up the   society
4. the unlawful ” administration of  incorporated societies “
5. by denying members the right to contact  other members and by  calling only a SGM when it suits the RNZSPCA but not  calling a  AGM in three years ( Taupo) or allowing  new people to become members.  This is not  acting in the benefit of branches
6. there is a gross conflict of interest between the  Auckland SPCA   and the RNZSPCA  . there has been a  historical    fight for power , it now appears to me ,  that the  Auckland SPCA   which has posed as the SPCA see here   has succeeded   in taking control of money and is now taking over the  RNZSPCA  and  will pass that control   through to   itself  by virtue of  this new constitution .

all that is required is  for the  smaller branches to   wind up and the Auckland SPCA will   take over  the RNZSPCA  and put it under the umbrella of SPCA aotearoa.  Public money  corporate wages private gain and a private law enforcement power  with strict liability offences and a  licence to print money .. certainly not  acting charitably  in my opinion

Constitutions  for branches taken into administration , (for which there is no legal provision) , have been unlawfully filed  to ensure that the latest constitutions  state  that on winding up or dissolution the assets go to the RNZSPCA.

I have been told that  well over 2 million dollars of charitable funds have been used for this restructuring. Money which could have been put to good use  by saving branches which have been closed down   by  people other than the members.

The new constitution allows for the   new organisation , (that is what it is   as the  whole constitution appears to have been replaced in one go) to pick and choose its members

the emphasis is  on   the inspectorate   and it is  not  coincidental that   Mr Wells who wrote the legislation also set up the training program at Unitec for inspectors,  so by  becoming inspector focused there is a financial spin off for others  but what has been forgotten is that before a prosecution can occur  an animal has to suffer . so the  society for prevention of  cruelty no longer fulfills its   traditional  role  having instead become an enforcement agency  and therefore by definition is no longer a charity .

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I therefore request an urgent revue of the RNZSPCA   with regards to its charitable status, misappropriation of charitable fund and the grounds stated above

I have posted this on transparency in the interest of transparency .

Dear Grace

Thank you for your email regarding the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Incorporated (RNZSPCA), registration number CC22705.

The concerns that you have raised have now been reviewed, however Charities Services has determined not to initiate an investigation into the RNZSPCA.  We will only consider exercising our legislative powers under the Charities Act 2005 when there is evidence of:

•          the charity no longer meeting the requirements for registration;

•          a breach of the Charities Act 2005;

•          ‘serious wrongdoing’ in connection with a charity.

Serious wrongdoing is defined under section 4 of the Act as:

(a)  an unlawful or a corrupt use of the funds or resources of the entity; or

(b)  an act, omission, or course of conduct that constitutes a serious risk to the public interest in the orderly and appropriate conduct of the affairs of the entity; or

(c)  an act, omission, or course of conduct that constitutes an offence; or

(d)  an act, omission, or course of conduct by a person that is oppressive, improperly discriminatory, or grossly negligent, or that constitutes gross mismanagement

Charities Services is unlikely to investigate disputes that relate to the governance of an entity or service delivery matters. We will also not become involved if your concern is about a decision made by the officers of the charity that is within the law or within the rules of the charity. Charities Services is unable to overrule a decision made by officers that is within their powers to make, simply because others do not agree with it.

The decision of the SPCA delegates to form one national organisation from it 45 independent centres is one that the organisation is able to make, and not one that Charities Services has the legislative mandate to overrule.

You may wish to contact the SPCA New Zealand directly, or seek independent legal advice, in regards to your concerns.

Kind regards

If you are a member of  any of the following  then you  need to  read this

and listen  to this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHcgXhoBlf0

The first  column is the date  of incorporation of your society

the second is the legal name of your society

All of the  above are deemed by the Legal persons in their own right  and the sole control of each is by its respective  members .

The legislation which is relevant is the Incorporated Societies Act 1908

An incorporated society must have at least 15 members , the members   file their constitution and run their  society according to the constitution.

As can be seen by the dates of formation  various communities had  individuals who came together and formed the   intention of  forming a local SPCA for the common good of the community

Often farmer brown gave a corner paddock  and  the  local  trades men go together and constructed a premises for the  volunteers to  work out of    . The societies were names  the  “what ever”  society for prevention of cruelty to animals, the assets  came from the community and were for the benefit of that community .

Each society acted independently  until  a federation was  formed which lent a common voice and  support structure to all .

Neil Wells  was involved in action which appears to have substituted the  Federation  for the RNZSPCA , possibly by  a name change which is no longer recorded  at the   registry  of societies.He also wrote the animal welfare act and made the provision for inspectors to  be employed by the RNZSPCA  and  introduced  offences which are almost impossible to  defend ( strict liability )

The federation  disappeared and the RNZSPCA became the national body  effectively having    one representative from each of the  member societies.

A move then occurred  to change member societies into branches  and a number of branches were taken over by stealth by  a group of persons  whose objective was to   disenfranchise the members and substitute   their own  constitution for that previously  accepted and passed  by the members.  Hence the members no longer   had control of their own society  it was some one else’s rules

The  particular victims of this mover   are  the following branches

Persons posing as   officers of these  societies did so without any mandate from the members , they effectively took over the assets of that society  and dealt with them as though they had  a right to do so. In some instances property   including real estate was sold , there is no evidence as to where the   funds went .

There is no provision in law which would support this action and in reality I believe that  these persons are  committing  fraud  by holding themselves out  as having legitimacy over the asserts and running of the   societies they have taken over.

These persons  who include the following  have had absolutely no legal    right to act in the manner  which they have  yet have bamboozled volunteers  and members alike , taking advantage of the  fact that most  ordinary citizens don’t know  that the  people  from  the so called Head office  who they trust   were actually setting them up to take over  their society and asset strip the local community .

those  above have been assisted by  those who should know  better  Geoff Sutton employed by the RNZSPCA  is a former MPI man and he  and his mate Alan Wilson ( also x MPI)  are very keen  to see the  inspectorate kick into play as this would ensure them a position in the new  order. These persons  have a vested interest as they have been assured a position in the new order and are looking after their own financial interest in the new structure

It has to be remembered that the” P” stands for prevention     not for prosecution  and by the time prosecution occurs  the animal has already suffered .

so essentially   the  SPCA  is no longer functioning  as the society it was set up  for   and instead  being a society which relies on animal abuse for its existence.

In Britain the  SPCA  is out of control   a great   face book page to follow on that one is the shg

an article on the  dangers of the SPCA inspectorate is https://www.spectator.co.uk/2013/02/off-the-leash/#  Does the RSPCA think it’s the FBI?

Dozens of ordinary householders have been convicted, fined and even tagged for offences such as killing squirrels in their gardens, or not arranging adequate veterinary care for a sick pet. Those animal owners who fall foul of the RSPCA include the elderly, sick, bewildered or poor. Some of the prosecutions have been little short of farcical. Householders who kill garden pests have been convicted on the basis that the only humane way to dispatch a squirrel is to take it to the vets for a £70 lethal injection. Worse, there is a growing suspicion that not all RSPCA evidence of cruelty is what it seems.

an other article sent to me was  this What’s gone wrong with the RSPCA? How a cherished charity which symbolised Britain’s love for animals has been hijacked by zealots who care more about pets than humans (and has now lost its third chief in five years)

Wake up NZ    we need to   educate  people and care for  the animals  . Those taking control are lawyers and accountants    it is a power game  and   more animals than ever will be put  down and   caring owners will be the target of prosecutions.

If you do nothing  then you are part of the problem , Please  help prevent cruelty  not make  cruelty the  aim of  financial gain.

Please contact me   we are working  on something  that will hopefully restore integrity to the  SPCA’s nation wide

You can help by speaking out    please do not remain silent on this one ! 

While assisting some people with their dilemma of the local branch of the RNZSPCA, I came across  a company called  SPCA AOTEAROA LIMITED (5343361) Registered

The company is allegedly owned by The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Auckland Incorporated   but  despite  the fact that it was incorporated  30 June 2014  no mention of this company can be found in the annual reports    2015 annual report   or the  2016 annual report.

Mr Trainer files his own  directors form , showing that he is self appointed   he does this through the auspices of his  own company Lomond group limited

Having noted that  the  Auckland SPCA  prefers to use the  generic name SPCA and  its  chairman  Gordon Trainer is also the national president of the RNZSPCA

Gordon trainer was co opted to the national board  September 2015  and it would appear  on what I can see , that he became  president   when he had already set the wheels for  SPCA aotearoa in motion .

What is  the difference you may well ask   well it is an important one  summed up on the RNZSPCA web site

There are  some 40  incorporated societies which are  members or branches of the RNZSPCA , The RNZSPCA  is the national body    on which all of the individual branches and member societies have  a representation  . Those persons who are the appointed members to the RNZSPCA  then select  their  office bearers from their number.

But what so often happens   is that one  person  becomes  entrenched in the role  and that is where the propensity for going off the rails occurs.

For many years Bob Kerridge has been   both the  chairman of the Auckland SPCA and the  national  president of the RNZSPCA  , he was  followed by Gordon Trainer.

Now the SPCA Auckland would be the  first one to admit that  throughout the country there is much confusion about   the number of SPCA’s  many think there is only one.

The reality is  that the Auckland SPCA is  the equivalent status of any of the branches, it is a member society which just happens to  hold the reins through its chair man.

Further confusion arises though the RNZSPCA’s own web site  where  the royal society refers to itself as  SPCA and  has actually registered the  a logo  

The donate page on the RNZSPCA web site makes you  think that you are donating to the SPCA   and in the mean time   the   Auckland SPCA  which is  now apparently driving the take over bid   registers documents at the  Registrars office as 

this is simply achieved by leaving the  real  name off by dropping the word Auckland.

This particular  example was signed By Andrea Midgen  who is now travelling the country and telling societies  that once amalgamation takes place they will have to change their names if they are not part of the one SPCA.

So  simply put the  confusion as to the entity “SPCA”  is no accident  and people  who leave   funds to  the SPCA   in their will  do so with the best of intentions and frequently with the expectation that it will support the  SPCA activities  where they live . Instead   the  funds go to  the Auckland SPCA and  are   shuffled off into Auckland SPCA trust

The wording of trust deeds is important   and in this case the wording of the SPCA trust is such that  the  funds do not have to go to the  the Auckland SPCA, RNZSPCA branches   etc  but   simply for the  purposes as set out here 

This means that the  funds can also go to Community Cat Coalition Incorporated or New Zealand Companion Animal Council Incorporated but apparently it does not go to  RNZSPCA branches which have felt the financial burden of having a paid employee thrust upon them by   the national body .

Financial hardship  is one way of making    groups change their view  on autonomy and by   creating financial pressures  on a society   control can be gained.   the Te Awamutu  Branch   reportedly  was wound up  in this manner   and Waikato closed its doors despite that  fact the $400,000 appears to have  shifted sideways from a trust where the RNZSPCA branch was once a trustee .

So the  whole one SPCA thing  looks very much as a  being contrived and driven by The SPCA,  Millions of dollars which shoul dhave gone to animal s have gone on corporate wages fro this restructuring.

The SPCA’s which have been closed could have  survived if the money paid to consultants had  found  its way to the  volunteers who  were using it for de sexing and  re homing of animals

INSPECTORATE

In March this year    an article appeared in the law society news  Anita Killeen: SPCA Auckland Pro Bono Panel of Prosecutors

In the New Year, I met the Chairman and the Board of the SPCA Auckland and gave a presentation that included a proposal to take charge of developing an initiative I believed would save the organisation money and further its goals. The Board appointed me as a Director in early 2009, and, shortly after, I implemented the strategy which is now known as the Pro Bono Panel of Prosecutors for the SPCA Auckland.

Note that this is only For Auckland.

But the   appointment  of inspectors is through the  animal welfare act   to the RNZSPCA

The organisation known as the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Incorporated is an approved organisation for the purposes of this Act.

Rumour has it that  the   one SPCA is all about  developing the inspectorate and apparently also about giving  work to a lot of  well meaning lawyers who have been sold half a story .

The animal welfare act  is a very dangerous piece of legislation a  law paper can be found here

The author of the paper   was also  apparently fooled with  the SPCA/ RNZSPCA  concept as only the SPCA gets a mention

What the author points out  about strict liability offences is   a very serious point.  In a strict liability offence the  Inspector only needs to think that your  limping Moggie needs to have gone to the vet and you  could  well be up for a massive fine .

Run with a team of lawyers  and  over zealous  inspectors  no animal owner will be safe and I fear that more animals than ever will be put down .

It will be a licence to print money  by the  monopoly which   appears to be being set up  by  bullying the  volunteers who have been  the very fabric of society out  to set up their own  organisations in their area   but will live in fear of  being  be wound up by  the    inspectors of the  mighty monopoly.

Corruption = Monopoly + discretion – Accountability

The SPCA  will be the only   private law enforcement authority .  I know the problems well I saw it with AWINZ.

Why cant   SPCA staff simply call on  MPI or Police to  take action  and prosecute .The SPCA has a vital role in education and  support services for animals

The whole fact of SPCA is about to change and as one person said

THIS WEEKEND ANIMAL WELFARE IN NZ DIED

There is nothing open and transparent about this Take over  , it is contrived, manipulated  and deceitful . There is no ability for   whole societies to be taken over  by a group of people   and those   who are posing  as  members of a society taken over by stealth should be held  accountable  to the full extent of the law , they have no legal right to file constitutions   on behalf of the members and   run  up financial burdens for the society , each should be personally responsible..  Isn’t that what Andrea Midgen said ? So why should she not be responsible for the actions on the half dozen or so  incorporated societies she claims to have  rights over when  there is no  mandate from members.

The SPCA is being corporatised ,  its  going to be  big business  , it will kill volunteering, community  groups and  will make animal lovers live in fear of persecution .   the funds which  have been given to local communities  to set up shelters  will be liquidated into corporate   wages for  accountants lawyers and consultants .

The animals will be  just  a commodity  and  in my opinion  it will be a fundamental abuse of animals to use them for the $$$ game

This is of national importance and   I certainly hope that  there will be a public investigation into this as  to me it appears that there is a gross misappropriation of charitable funds .

I also hope that  the charities commission  will  remove the charitable status of an organisation so apparently  driven for profit.

There have been power games between the SPCA and the RNZSPCA   since    Adam was a boy  the

222889 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AUCKLAND INCORPORATED  formed  19/10/1926

218546  THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS INCORPORATED formed 11/09/1933

I have already  covered off the in fighting in  the  late 70’s  and the fact that   the law enforcement powers of the inspectorate was   only given the the RNZSPCA and speculation has been that the SPCA,  a member society has always wanted to take over the RNZSPCA . From what I have seen in this last week that appears to be very much the  case.

There is significant blurring of boundaries between the SPCA and the RNZSPCA, this I believe is intentional with $$$$$ in mind

The  legal name of the Auckland  member society is  The society  for the prevention  of cruelty to animals Auckland  yet you refer to yourselves as  .

 You , Andrea signed as CEO for this  entity on  the latest rules filed at the  companies office

you  use the logo  which is in reality registered to the  Royal society  see here  

On Thursday night I attended a meeting  and was confused when I heard that you would be there  as you are the CEO of a member society of the RNZSPCA  and without providing any evidence as to your lawful appointment  as  acting CEO of  the RNZSPCA, you addressed a group of  Taupo people about the RNZSPCA  amalgamating into one.   I suspect the reality is   that this about the SPCA  taking over the  RNZSPCA and its  member societies and   branches.

The locals who attended expressed concerns that  despite the fact that a number of them had been volunteers at the SPCA they had been denied the opportunity to become members  and had been told that  no new members were being accepted  until after the one SPCA vote had been taken.

It appears that the person in charge of the Taupo SPCA and in control of the membership list is One Geoffrey Sutton who is actually a paid employee of the RNZSPCA .

I  also noted that  you  had become an alleged officer of the  Taupo SPCA  by  the  filing of  a document  just days before  the meeting claiming that you had been an officer of the Taupo  society since September 2016. The method of your appointment is to say the least  dubious   as we were  discovered that the society had not  had a meeting of members  in three years so I have to question  how you could possible have a mandate from the members .

The unique thing about incorporated societies is that   the members are always  in control  of their society  yet it appears that the RNZSPCA and the SPCA have taken over the governance and control  of various  societies without  any  formal mandate to do so .

Constitutions have been filed with the registrar , circumventing  both  the prescribed formal processes and the resolutions of the members

Further you are the CEO  of the SPCA   and  now claim to be the acting CEO  of  the RNZSPCA, is this not a conflict of interest as the SPCA  appears to be paying your wages . I have always found that  who ever  pays a person has their loyalty   so who are you acting for  and how are you legally  appointed for  the RNZSPCA

I also note that Jennifer Temple , project and change  Co ordinator mentioned here  is  also actually  an employee of SPCA  . so my question is  who is driving this One SPCA ?

On 5 September 2016   you not only became  a  Officer of the  Taupo SPCA but also  the  Thames , Wairarapa, Te kuiti, central King country  branches and on  23 January 2017  the Waikato branch. This may require  some explanation  and you may have to provide a legal basis  for these appointments  as there certainly does not appear to be any provision under the   Incorporated societies act which would have allowed for such an event.

You claim that

you   have association with these branches due to the fact that they are under administration,   could you please  advise where under the   Incorporated society act you have any power to  disenfranchise the members of an incorporated society and take charge of their assets.  You may wish to follow this link  following  to be  informed as to the apparent lack of  legitimacy of ” administration

I also need to point out that the  constitutions which you appear to rely on   generally  appear to have been filed  with the registrar by  means other than the formal requirement of being accepted  by  a AGM  and the process of filing  these constitutions  may  actually be  in  breach of the  act and you and your  associates may be committing fraud by  pretending that you have the lawful capacity to file these  documents.

It was pointed out at the meeting that  The Taupo branch  Operated  in a positive financial manner  until the  RNZSPCA ” placed the branch into administration ” Since then the number of staff have increased and the results have dropped back and   losses occurred.

I am personally aware  that  such tactics have been used on  societies which have been wound up   and when they were wound up they were not wound up by the members, but  by the persons who  posed as members and arranged for the assets to be taken out of the district in which they were gifted and used for SPCA functions else where.

This brings me on to the “poverty “which the SPCA pleads    this does not take into account the  25 million in The Auckland SPCA Trust.

I note that the trustees are

Mark Vickerman    Barrister

Bob Kerridge  Former  director

Benjamin D’Arcy Palmer    Life line  director

Gordon Trainer   current director SPCA  and sole  director of  SPCA Aotearoa Limited

Donald Brian  Bendall   accountant

While   small SPCA’s  struggle on this massive pot of money is   increasing annually   should some one not see where this money comes from, are these bequests which are  being made   from all over the country and ending up in the coffers of  this trust which appears  not to  share. Given the confusion that you yourself have introduced  in the  companies register as shown above it is  of no surprise that the general public and the lawyers and trustees of bequests are also confused.

The annual report is of significance it shows  the trust funds 

It also provides this blurb about the  donations 1 million a year is certainly generous  when   the income form legacies is well in excess of this  

 and what is up with SPCA Aotearoa Limited   formed 30 Jun 2014

Why is there  no mention  of this in the 2015 annual report   or the  2016 annual report and why  were the societies  lawyers not involved in setting it up  and  just Mr Trainer  a director  with the SPCA  Auckland sole share holder .. Odd I thought

Back to Taupo

Geoff has now called a SGM to   give a perception of  legitimacy to the  resolution to become  one SPCA yet  in three years has  not called an AGM and has  actually been  obstructive in allowing members to contact each other  so that the members  themselves could  arrange for an AGM and elect a new committee.

It appears that  with all these  high  flyers involved   that  the SPCA  is actually the   entity taking over the RNZSPCA  branches and its member societies . I personally  believe  that this is to expand the  Inspectorate   and  enforce the  strict liability offences under the act.  It will be licence to print money .

At the meeting  Andrea,  You attempted to  strike fear into the  gathering by telling the  people that   as employers of inspectors the  individual societies would have to mitigate  significant  health and safety issues  , but why have an inspectorate at all  ? the police can be called up on to assist in any instance of animal welfare  concerns

Every constable is, by virtue of his or her office, deemed to be an inspector appointed to act generally throughout New Zealand for the general purposes of this Act.

It appears to me  that this is all about money, the   involvement of   former Ernst and young Tax accountants  and their lawyer friends prove  this  to me   and   from a personal perspective I am concerned that funds that  have been given to a local SPCA’s  for  animal welfare in the area  are  being misappropriated for  uses other than   for which it was donated. I  therefore believe that this  is not about  animal this is about power and control .

It is not as if the  SPCA is broke  the money has been shifted side ways into  trusts another example is  the Waikato SPCA  has been closed yet its money has been moved side ways

On the other hand  the local branches are  being lumbered with financial   obligations by the RNZSPCA  such as the wages of   the likes of Geoff Sutton   and work which was previously done by Volunteers.

Waikato has  had a trust which  had the Waikato branch as a trustee, it was later removed  and that trust has been  struck off and  presumably transferred its funds to a similarly named trust  see THE WAIKATO SPCA TRUST  and SPCA WAIKATO TRUST BOARD some where in this transaction  some $400,000  has   been  whisked  away from the  branch  see There is profit in animals .. or why is the RNZSPCA restructuring and what is Neil Wells connection. and The Waikato SPCA is being forced to close as it struggles with financial woes.

How much of the 25 million  sitting in the  Auckland SPCA account was actually given to Waikato , but because lawyers were unaware the money has ended up in the one and only nest egg

I think it is time for a massive audit  before you start   winding up smaller  entities  due to financial pressures.

As the person who  is  fronting this  ” amalgamation ”  I am asking you Andrea to make certain that   it is all   above board. There is no rush, by creating   urgency you could be   the whole country up for one massive  financial scam.

I will be happy to publish any explanation you give.

The future  of animal welfare in New Zealand hinges on your integrity  will you do the right thing ?

The SPCA  is  voting on the One SPCA concept this week this is their power point

One SPCA Regional Meetings Master All Centres

Neil Wells has worked  hard over the years to change the structure of the  SPCA ,

in  a job application he proudly states

Undertaking a constitutional reform of the SPCA as National President of the Royal New Zealand SPCA by drawing 45 independent SPCAs into a national society, and as National Director by establishing the first National Office in Auckland.

this was just prior to  drafting the animal welfare act and in the act provided only for  the RNZSPCA to have  the ability to   employ inspectors . His intent appeared to be  that he would be training the inspectors  and  thus have control over enforcement and provide himself with $$$$ .

That was phase one  they are now  working on Phase 2

Over the past few years he has been   amalgamating  SPCAs and when he became chair man of te Kuiti  he set about changing the name of the  SPCA  see  The significance of a name change Te Kuiti RNZSPCA or King Country SPCA.

Central King Country SPCA and the Te Kuiti Branch of the RNZSPCA fact or fiction

Te Kuiti Branch of the RNZSPCA committee resigns

In the brief time that Wells was chairman of the Te Kuiti SPCA he purchased a building . this property has now been sold  at an apparent loss .

the interesting thing is that  he purchased it from his neighbours  Wells lives at 1308  and the previous owners of the building live at 1338 

see title documents here Comprehensive Title and Transaction Report

The previous owners were  Sstjnr Limited  owned by Steven Henry RICKARDS and Sarah Edith RICKARDS 

We have to question how it was sold as the local  Te Kuiti branch appears not  to have had any involvement. No meeting of the members was called when the chair walked out , the  RNZSPCA simply walked in and took over

Why is it so dangerous for  the spca  to have control.

Look at the legislation which Neil wells advised on and drafted.

the concern of  the  attorney general  with the  first bill was that it infringed on the bill of rights see here 

the  new legislation  now states

13Strict liability

(1)In a prosecution for an offence against section 12, it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that the defendant intended to commit an offence.

(1A)In a prosecution for an offence against section 12 committed after the commencement of this subsection, evidence that a relevant code of welfare was in existence at the time of the alleged offence and that a relevant minimum standard established by that code was not complied with is rebuttable evidence that the person charged with the offence failed to comply with, or contravened, the provision of this Act to which the offence relates.

(2)Subject to subsection (3), it is a defence in any prosecution for an offence against section 12 if the defendant proves—

(a)that, in relation to the animal to which the prosecution relates, the defendant took,—

(i)in the case of an offence against section 12(a), all reasonable steps to comply with section 10; or

(ii)in the case of an offence against section 12(b), all reasonable steps to comply with section 11; or

(iii)in the case of an offence against section 12(c), all reasonable steps not to commit a breach of section 12(c); or

(b)that the act or omission constituting the offence took place in circumstances of stress or emergency, and was necessary for the preservation, protection, or maintenance of human life; or

(c)that there was in existence at the time of the alleged offence a relevant code of welfare and that the minimum standards established by the code of welfare were in all respects equalled or exceeded.

(3)Except with the leave of the court, subsection (2) does not apply unless, within 7 days after the service of the summons, or within such further time as the court may allow, the defendant has delivered to the prosecutor a written notice—

(a)stating that the defendant intends to rely on subsection (2); and

(b)specifying—

(i)where the defendant intends to rely on subsection (2)(a), the reasonable steps that the defendant will claim to have taken; or

(ii)where the defendant intends to rely on subsection (2)(b), the circumstances of stress or emergency, and the reasons why the act or omission was necessary for the preservation, protection, or maintenance of human life; or

(iii)where the defendant intends to rely on subsection (2)(c), the relevant code of welfare that was in existence at the time of the alleged offence, and the facts that show that the minimum standards established by that code of welfare were in all respects equalled or exceeded.

Section 13(1A): inserted, on 19 December 2002, by section 4 of the Animal Welfare Amendment Act 2002 (2002 No 53).

This means  that an inspector can make   allegations based on their opinion   and   unless you  file a defence within 7 days  you   are  guilty  

No other legislation in New Zealand has such a draconian   provision  ,  this is legislation written   to  provide $$$$$$$$

History often repeats  and the  view is frequently clearest when looking back

The SPCA’s Public relations officer mentioned in the article along side is now none other than Mrs Christine Wells

from the events of this last week   and of the past 11 years I can see a trend emerging.   Neil Wells Good ..Grace Haden    Bad.

By smearing a person  and throwing a lot of mud  there is  the  hope that some of it will stick  and people do tend to say  where there is smoke there is fire , well sometimes  the apparition of the fire is actually a smoke screen.

Mud slinging can only be addresses with truth  and facts  and so often the person doing he slinging  does so to keep the focus off himself.

To look at what Mr Wells has been involved in  we need to look at the trusts which he  has operated with total  disregard of the law.

You have to remember that  He was a barrister  , by definition and officer of the court and a person  legally charged to uphold the rule of Law in New Zealand

4 Fundamental obligations of lawyers

Every lawyer who provides regulated services must, in the course of his or her practice, comply with the following fundamental obligations:(a)the obligation to uphold the rule of law and to facilitate the administration of justice in New Zealand:

This week the  RNZSPCA  will vote on amalgamating the branches and  the  member societies  into one organisation . It is a foregone conclusion fed by misinformation and stealth in taking over   branches on the  false presence that  the branches   are obliged to  comply with the directive of the  RNZSPCA   .

What has to be remembered is that each branch  , each member society is a firstly a  legal person in their own right   and secondly affiliated to  another group of their choosing . The only persons in charge of an  incorporated society   are its members.

It also has to be recognised that there is a distinct difference between the RNZSPCA  and the SPCA   .

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AUCKLAND INCORPORATED   formed on 19-OCT-1926  incorporation number 222889

THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS INCORPORATED    Incorporated      11-SEP-1933 number 218546

7/7/78  the SPCA village was built A rift occurred at about this time  and Neil Wells left the SPCA   see PDF version here   2 December 1978

and the following year a new group started.  15/3/79 

During this time  Neil Wells was still the  president of the Royal new Zealand federation  here he is signing  the rule changes for the  royal federation  this is  filed on the THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS INCORPORATED  document page  suggesting that he federation may have had a name  change in 1981 when Wells again signs the documents.

Strange then that in his  cv   he makes no mention of the federation

1989 finds him in  the office of  the world society  for protection of animals and in 1993 Wells    resigns after another row as head of ethics and sets up as barrister  sole .

IN 1994 he  approaches  the Waitakere city council  with his idea of  combining  animal welfare and animal control and suggests to the council that they could set up an SPCA type organisation

Wells is well connected to  government  through   his former business partner Bob Harvey,  Harvey  is now  the Mayor of Waitakere city council  and later as   president of the labour party  Bob   seemingly facilitates  AWINZ in  being  granted law enforcement status .

to be continued

Recently I applied to join Transparency International  ( again)  the new Zealand branch of Transparency International  appears to be at odds with the rest of the movement and I have again been rejected .

Today I signed the THE DECLARATION AGAINST CORRUPTION

I found the declaration after  visiting  the  Unmask the corrupt  pages by   Transparency international   .

It would appear that internationally we  are exposing corruption but Transparency International New Zealand  feels uncomfortable  even with acknowledging that there  is such a thing as corruption in New Zealand.

The events of last week  have driven it home to me just how corrupt we are and how  unseen cowards can pull strings in the background to  ensure that whistle blowers are dealt to .

A small Probono job  in 2006  saw my life change  and 11 years later I am still suffering the fall out, that is because I stumbled on corruption which is being actively concealed by the National   government and the last Labour government .

The man involved is a labour man  an animal welfare lawyer who  wrote legislation for his own business plan, advised on it  as independent adviser to the select committee  and made what I know  to be , a fraudulent application to  the  crown  for law enforcement for a fictional organisation which in reality was just him.

He ran his  “ approved organisation “ from Waitakere city council  premises where he was manager . He  used the staff, infrastructure  and vehicles  to  run his operation and re branded the building  to give it the same appearance as the  fictional “ organisation” which had the extensive law enforcement powers of search seizure and prosecution.

The logo top right was that of his  fictional organisation  the buildings are the dog Pound at the then Waitakere city council  where  he was the manager.

When I asked questions of  council  and MAF I was sued by him for defamation    , I was denied the statutory defence of truth and honest opinion for stating that the  trust AWINZ could not have made an application in 1999 as it did not exist at that time and was only created in 2006 to  effect a cover up to conceal this in court .

IN  2007  he  wrote to MAF expressing  his intention to bankrupt me

He  had about a  dozen attempts at bankruptcy  and even put my company into liquidation using a  false affidavit .  The  liquidation was reversed ( by court order )  and I fought off bankruptcy. there were no concerns about my  health and  well being   I was  severely depressed  dam near suicidal and the attacks  kept coming .  But as they say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger  so  it woudl appear that this sick old man has come back for a second attack on me because he is so fearful that he will be found out .

Apparently standing up for your rights  is  being called  litigious .  But guess that sounds better than  saying  I  fought for  .. justice . which is a silly fight as I do not believe there is any in NZ.

Questioning  the lack of existence of AWINZ has devastated my life and torn my family apart. I moved to Napier thinking it was all   over  and hoped  that one day   the barrister would  be found out.

Next thing my private investigators licence cames up for its 5yr renewal and is declined because the “authority”   thinks that the opinion of a police woman,  who spoke to me on the phone  in 2012, matters   and calls me a conspiracy theorist on that basis.

This is such an important issue that  when I appeal the declinature of my  Private investigators licence it makes headlines in the news.

For my appeal I do some research , I  see what  penalty lawyers ( Officers of  the court ) get for committing real offences  as opposed to being judged on their perceived opinion .  I find an article on the lawyers  news site    see here

I read it and  from the information provided  and my knowledge identify the lawyer

At last  I saw him for what I know him to be  and in a blog , exercising my right  to freedom of expression and right to hold an opinion. I expressed my opinion   as to the identity of this person.

I  am aware that suppression in the lawyers and conveyancers act is given by not releasing his name , hence he was called mr M  I was not part of the process and did not know that  he had been before the tribunal  I just  knew of the circumstances outlined in the  news item, in fact I had known  since 2006 that he was attempting to get his hands on  the funds of  this dear old lady  and  even had correspondence relating to this.

Two weeks  after my publication  I was charged  , No one has been able to  provide me with a  “ order “  for suppression and the police charge is ambiguous using  wording for one alleged offence and the statutory  basis of another .

I was provided with an almost totally  redacted document    when the full version is publicly available on line .

I did  note  that Fear appears to be plaguing  Mr M states  at 26 the practitioner has in the past been pursued by a litigious and irrational person who might be expected to re-engage in a campaign against the practitioner should the present matters come to that person’s attention. And then puts the boot in  stating “[27] The litigation pursued by this person has been the subject of adverse judicial comment at all levels.”( yes prompted by his lawyers  who never checked the facts  and were good at  attacking  character but lousy at identifying facts ) see Is the AWINZ Charity complicit in fraud on the courts ?

So again I am made out to be this   less than desirable person  and  despite the fact that this lawyer has now committed  what appears to be a criminal act he gets his identity  withheld  and Is not charged  with  his serious offences  .

I go  to court the press is there  and  next day my  name age and  the fact that I have been charged  appears in the local paper, nationally on line and  nationally on the radio .  Do you spot the  irony here  I do  . I thought you were innocent until proved guilty  .

If the prosecution guide lines had been followed for me then  I would not have been charged . But  it is  so very important to charge me and   publicly execute me before The trial , while Mr M    comes out  unidentifiable and   unscathed.

I have to wonder     Why am I so important  and why   do the various ministers that I have written to over the years  not  care  about the   use of public office for private gain  by the man who got law enforcement powers for a fictional  organisation.

Ministers have the  ability to   investigate  ,  I have written to Amy Adams   recently and over the years have written to half of cabinet. For some examples see  2014 Open letter to Mr Key – will you condone corruption?   2011Inability to question corruption in NZ – open letter to John Key

Do the ministers not understand  what corruption is   or are they condoning it

Corruption destroys lives   it has to be an election issue

You need only look at the  news item   regarding the censured lawyer and you will see that the  Lawyers tribunal is effectively condoning   theft by a person in a special relationship  ( theft by failing to account )  they should have sent this matter to the police for criminal prosecution  .   If they can condone serious offences such as that  why I am  being persecuted for  exercising my rights under the bill of  rights.

If this is not “ evidence”  of a corrupt society  what is  ?  what are our standards ? Warped  I would  say .

Protect the lawyers   crucify whistle blowers  only means one thing.. there is a lot more corruption than they like to pretend.

Looking forward to having an investigation into AWINZ   11 years is long enough   it is not going to go away

This week I had the opportunity to speak to  Bill  English , I voiced my concerns with regards to corruption and the apparent apathy that those in  government service have to it .

I  can only guess that nothing will happen  but will  follow up with David Elliott  who is standing   for  Napier .

It was Particularly  pointed for me this week .A complaint made on 4 May saw me charged with  offences less than two week  later  despite there being no obvious evidence  of the order which I allegedly breached and had no access  to .

Yet in 11 years  no one has looked at the   fictional law enforcement authority,AWINZ   and  the way that a charitable  trust was used  to fund the court action and the apparent fraudulent use of the charity involved  .

Due to my journey I have become  an expert in spotting  potential  danger spots , my skill was recognized by a former  lawyer who  took me to court for the act of simply breathing, this was because he was so scared of what I knew  about the multitude of companies that he  and his wife operated. What I had stumbled on was  the equivalent of the panama papers , Latvian directors , Panamanian companies Ukrainian money laundering and  arms trade. These events  led me to  organise a petition  for an independent commission against corruption, this was   at least 18 months  before the Panama papers  story broke .  Our government  knew but did nothing .

Andrew Little  presented the petition  to Parliament   where I was the lead petitioner . This was just after  the  National party took office  and it was thrown out by Mike Sabin ( what happened to him ?  )    when I  produced the evidence in  support .  see What happened to the petition for a commission against corruption ?.

The Press was  not there   nothing was heard .    But hey  me being charged  now that is  news !

In December 2015 the UN convention against corruption  was finally ratified   by NZ . We had been a signatory for many years and ratification was a  well kept secret  and slipped by the news media, I recall the news that day was of some poor vegan gentleman who had found a slug in his  fresh pack salad.

Todays paper  there ws an article  by one of  our very few investigative journalists  on   foreign trusts…Officials fear $140m charity tax rort  . I noted all the hall marks of potential fraud are there and I have to wonder  how these trusts were register as charities in the first place,  but then I remind myself  its quite easy  No one checks .

Just like AWINZ the   law enforcement authority that did not exist.. no one checked .  the  Order whihc does not exist yet I am charged with breaching..  no one checked. I would still like to know why an application made on 22 November can be made by a trust which did not  exist.

The three trust deeds  involved in this international   rort are located    at the charities web site   The Mulligan Charitable Trust,   Shepherd Charitable Trust   and the The Birdy Charitable Trust

The officer details for these trusts are respectively   Chasselat Trustee Limited ,Bellerive Trustee Limited, Alpage Trustee Limited, these companies again  follow the structure of  off share trusts , overseas  shareholders and directors and local directors to appease the  Law .

All three were registered  in 2013 ,  and I have to ask  what do the  people who rubber stamp these applications check for,or is the process automated ?    the directors for the three trustee companies are  two  Swiss the other  three  New Zealanders .

Kevin George TAYLOR involved in 26  roles  in companies

Lauren Cherie WILLIS  involved in 67 roles  in companies

Megan Shiu Chui WU involved in 7 roles  in companies

They are  connected to a larger frame work ASIACITI TRUST NEW ZEALAND LTD  Graeme Walter BRIGGS  together with  Taylor and Willis .

As with the companies I identified with the lawyer  the overseas trust business is  still alive and kicking  and now operating from A 82 symonds street under the control of Eduard PATKEVYCH who up until a  few weeks ago was still operating GT Gloria Limited see the news here

It is by far easier to have a checking mechanism in place  that way people  don’t get ripped off or hurt.

Had there been simple due diligence done on AWINZ  then Neil Wells would not have been able to  have committed  what appears to  be a fraud on the government, one which is too embarrassing to   deal with   so it is far easier to shoot the messenger and execute the whistle blower.

all I want is the the law to  work the same way for these  crooks and rip off merchants as it does  for me expressing an honest opinion  and exercising my right under the bill of rights.

In the mean time   Neil Wells, Tom Didovich, Wyn Hoadley and Graeme Coutts   continue to live in fear that one day they will be caught out . Neil Wells is still the only one running the charity which has never done anything but sue me,  misappropriate the funds from the lord Dowding fund for  Neil’s own  enrichment see The Animal Welfare Institute Of New Zealand.  

He appears to have friends in high places  because he  is Teflon  offences    dot even  slide off him   they are  just  not an ingredient he is  exposed to .. But me  >> well I am a different story

what is the lord Dowding fund ( Wells received in excess of   $100,000  from Beauty with compassion)   he has used it  to sue me  and now there is only $22,990 left , He  pocketed 57,000  for himself  but no one is interested. Further  it doesn’t take a mathematical genius to go through the accounts and see that he has switched accounts  and made false statements  in the accounts, but if setting up a fake law enforcement  charity   is not a matter of public interest  what is . .. Oh yes forgot  it is expressing an honest opinion  and blogging… must not blog

Whistle blowers lives should not be devastated because the government is incapable of  introducing  due diligence in to the public sector . If

Whistle blowers  are  attacked and perpetrators of fraud  get protection then    we have a   corrupt  system

It is the governments task to  ensure that   there is one law for all and it is enforced equally .

 which  party will  Help  ?
