Mycoplasma Bovis a blessing for the greenies and waterways or simply too convenient?
June 2, 2018 |

Last year a number of news items were prominent with regards to the issues of dairy farming and the effect on waterways see here here here and here
Put simply, more cows have meant more nutrient and pathogen pollution of waterways. Across the whole country, the number of dairy cows increased by over two million between 1992 and 2011 – an 86 percent expansion. During the same period, average dairy herd size in New Zealand more than doubled from 169 to 386.
Now it occurs to me that Mycoplasma Bovis appears to be a blessing for the greenies or is it simply just a convenient way to reduce cattle numbers ? I have first hand evidence of how MPI can be manipulated and how facts are irrelevant to them.
Bryce Edwards published a great little article yesterday Political Roundup: The M. Bovis debacle deserves more debate. His opening statement totally echos my experience with MPI
What has emerged from the debate over the Mycoplasma Bovis saga is that New Zealand appears to have been let down by authorities – especially politicians and senior government bureaucrats who have mismanaged the country’s biosecurity, leaving farming in turmoil, and the taxpayer picking up most of the tab for their negligence.
I had cause to speak to a bovine vet the other day and he confirmed that the tests of mycoplasma bovis are not particularly reliable,so a whole herd is put down because one cow tested positive, this could have been a false positive but who cares lets put the whole herd down at a time when Gypsy day is seeing other herds migrate freely from one area to another . Guess that fits with the agenda of culling as many cattle as possible .
It has made me realise that the characters in the old TV series gliding on are still alive and well and working at MPI , they may of course have taken the precaution to drink their tea and coffee black .
My own experience with the incompetence of MPI ( then MAF)goes back 12 years .
I questioned serious corruption which had allowed a person closely associated with key players in MPI to write legislation for their own business plan , advise on it as ” independent advisor” to the select committee and while MPI knew this person was severely conflicted they stood by and allowed him to provide comment on caucus papers which saw the government approve an application for coercive law enforcement powers to a non existent organisation based on a fraudulent application.
MAF/ MPI are fully aware of it and have refused to undertake an investigation, my own opinion for this is that the lawyer who provided a crown law opinion was Peter McCarthy 
who gave a detailed legal opinion but didn’t even think about checking if the application he was commenting on was legitimately made and that AWINZ existed .
As a whistleblower on the AWINZ matter I was crucified , the first thing MPI did was to attempt to prosecute me for passing myself off as a MAF officer, their evidence was so thin that they resolved to warn me despite the fact that there should not have been an investigation in the first place . This was tied up with another substantial fraud see Boss invents accountant to escape $60k debt – NZ Herald and Charges over alleged fake liquidator – NZ Herald
That was the very first attempt to discredit me, and to properly conceal the matter Peter Mc Carthy was made chief legal officer of MPI
Despite untold complaints to government , ombudsmen , state services commission , police ,SFO and untold ministers this issue has been totally concealed while I was refused a renewal of my private investigators licence and was labeled a ” conspiracy theorist ”
This has been total bullying an white washing of a criminal act .
Wells was able to negotiate with MPI to withhold information from me so that the complaints to the law society etc could be dealt with without the inconvenience of facts getting in the way also see here and here .This crucial document was the audit report which totally expose AWINZ as a sham but even despite their own findings nothing was done but AWINZ conveniently stopped being an approved organisation when the super city was formed.

Catering Limited : Muse Eatery : Samuel North in Liquidation
Just three weeks after Samuel North closed the doors to Muse eatery the company catering Limited which operated the business muse eatery has gone into liquidation .
It would appear that the share holder
HANIA TRUSTEE (CATERING) LIMITED Hoggard Law Limited, 29 Hania Street, Mt Victoria, Wellington, 6011 , New Zealand
has placed the company into liquidation and appointed their own liquidators .
Samuel North was the share holder of the company but moved the share holding into a trust in april 2016 . It has all been very predictable and North continued to sell Grab one and groupon deals even after he knew he was closing, we believe that this is fraudulent.
Our suggestion is that if you are owed money that you attend the liquidators watershed meeting when it is announced and ensure that independent liquidators are appointed ( as opposed to one appointed by North ) .
When a company appoints its own liquidators the liquidation is likely not to be as transparent or fair as it would be if the liquidator is working for a creditor .
It is our honest opinion that the Liquidators will sell on the Chattels, at a nominal price and the phoenix will fly again when North purchases them .
Muse eatery opened its doors before Muse on Allen had even been placed in to liquidation and it is believed that many of its assets actually belonged to muse.
We have been contacted by many persons who are owed by North , North is avoiding service by debt collectors , there are former staff members who have unresolved grievances .
Samuel north has removed the face book page, the linked in page and the web site .

Update
Samuel North has engaged Stephen Iorns <stephen@iornslegal.co.nz> and is bleating defamation
We Hope the barrister gets paid .
Malcolm North from the ministry of social development , Bullies us again
An email from Malcolm North has been forwarded to me, it is grossly defamatory and bullying and alleges that Samuel terminated his lease. we would like to hear from any one at MSD ( ministry of social development), is he also a bully at work because he certainly is in emails, again speculating and threatening by stating ” I have spoken to xxxxxx employer about his behaviour so don’t expect him to be employed for much longer‘ it is noted that his email had this disclaimer ——————————- This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and subject to legal privilege. If you are not the intended recipient, any use, dissemination, distribution or duplication of this email and attachments is prohibited. If you have received this email in error please notify the author immediately and erase all copies of the email and attachments. The Ministry of Social Development accepts no responsibility for changes made to this message or attachments after transmission from the Ministry. ——————————-” does that indicate that he sent the email from the ministy of social developments servers and using his Muserestaurant email address. Not a good look
But getting back to the statement that Samuel terminated his lease, this generally requires a ” notice period ” so when di dhe give notice and how did this line up with the Grab one and groupon offers? https://new.grabone.co.nz/restaurants-bars-cafes/european-restaurants/p/muse-eatery-and-bar-13 and https://www.grouponnz.co.nz/deals/muse-bar-and-eatery
the pdf copies downloaded tonight are here Muse Eatery and Bar • GrabOne NZ and here Muse Eatery & Bar – Up To 60% Off – Wellington _ Groupon
We first heard the rumour that Muse was closing on the 18th January , this is just 10 days after the deals were offered on line . If you have an uncertain future then 10 days out would you offer deals . These offers are valid till end of march and early april as shown on the PDF’s so where are they going to be honoured if Samuel knew all along that he had terminated the lease .
at least 80 people spent $99 on groupon =$7,920 at least 10 people spent $195 on groupon =$1,950 total $9,870
86 people bought the grab one deal at $69 =5,934 total for the two deals potentially outstanding $15,804
We look forward to hearing from the landlord. The land lord in Allen street was left out of pocket according to liquidators papers time will tell if the name of this land lord will ultimately appear on the liquidation papers for catering company .
The web page which was paid up until the 16 th February was pulled 5 February and now defaults to the web serves page , The face book page was taken down last week .So if the web page and Face book pages were pulled why not pull these deals ? Why leave them up why no formal announcement .
We have heard from reliable sources that there are substantial debts .
Any one out of pocket with a provable debt please contact us we are coordinating a group action .
we will keep you posted we know there is more to come

Subject: harassment and bullying by Debbie Norths son and Husband.
I am a licenced Private investigator.
I have been assisting a young chef who has had all his equity in a company stolen from him by Debbie North , her husband and son.
Jozsef invested $64,000 in a restaurant Muse on Allen there were two share holders Debbie’s son Sam and Jozsef 30 % Samuel 70% Jozsef .
Debbie became an alternate director but exercised full director powers and allowed her son to transfer 21% of the shares from Jozsef into his own name contrary to the provisions of legislation and without any legal basis. This reduced Jozsef’s share holding to 49%. No other money was invested into the company apart from funds clearly introduced as LOANS by the Norths and Samuels girlfriend Annabelle Torrejos
Debbie was then party to making her husband Malcolm a director and the three of them removed Jozsef as director and then transferred the remailing shares to Samuel making him the 100% shareholder of the company while he had not introduced any equity in to the company and was in fact showing a deficit of some $6000 of drawings against equity in 2014
In court documents she claimed this was an error how ever this error has not been corrected by her despite the fact that she filed the annual reports with the companies office 21 October 2013 and
09 October 2014 and failed to correct the share holding . these are serious offences under the companies act
I was taken to court for alleged Harassment after the lawyer they employed to act for the company ( but in reality only acting for their interests) accused me of contempt. I advised him that he had a legal duty to comply with the law and be independent in acting for the company and so I was taken to court for harassment .
The court action was in Wellington ( I live in Auckland ) I told the lawyers who were taking this action that I would give an undertaking not to contact this sensitive lawyer who apparently did not wish to be independent and comply with the law .
The court date was concealed from me and I was advised of the hearing at 9 am on the day of the hearing and therefore could not make it to wellington on time. I was called a serial defamer and harasser based on the lawyers submissions and have been ordered to pay $5000 for this privilege I have asked for this decision to be recalled as the process was not fair and transparent.
The Bullying and harassment in this matter is beyond belief. I am not he only one subjected to it – Jozsef has had abuse hurled at him and has been physically threatened in court by Malcolm North .
After losing his own restaurant Samuel taunts him by saying what is it like flipping ham burgers.. and making himself out to be the all successful chef based on the fact that he “ owns “ a restaurant which Jozsef has effectively purchased the chattels for before being kicked out three months into the operation .
The police are only good for writing warning letters and nothing further appears to be on their agenda other than getting people to take things to court where they are subjected to massive legal bills ( Jozsef has already paid out over $50,000)
amendment: It is our honest opinion that Malcolm has been attempting to interfere with Jozsef’s employment apparently by using his capacity as Employment Support Representative in the ministry of social development . This honest opinion is based on events which occurred at Jozsefs work place and events which played out . Malcolm has alleged that this statement is declamatory but it is our honest opinion that this is the case perhaps Malcom would like to explain why he met with Jozsefs supervisor and why Jozsef was then put in the position that he was placed in . Honest opinion is never defamatory
Jozsef is under extreme pressure and I fear that the ongoing attacks on may have serious repercussions . this has been going on for three years
Even after the police told Samuel and Malcolm not to send any more emails they have continued to do so making false claims and bullying remarks about personal relationships remarks which are untrue and have no substance but are made in an attempt to hurt and denigrate
I find it ironic that Debbie works for the mediation service and I see the ethics of her and her family counterproductive to the aims and values of your organization
Since Debbie made a claim to the court that Jozsef’s shares were transferred in error she should seek to correct it, instead she chose to resign as director and has allowed her husband and son to continue harassing and bullying.
This has to stop and that is why I am bringing this to your attention
I have Lots of information about this on Transparency.net.nz and in the interest of transparency I will publish this letter there as an open letter the public has a tight to know that you employ a membership secretary who is party to all of this .
I doubt that you will do anything as we appear to be incredibly good at duck shoving in NZ it is always someone else’s problem . The problem in this case is the lack of enforcement of our laws once upon a time people who committed these offences were behind bars now they just bully people and hopefully their victims will commit suicide and then they can say see he/ she was mad all along.
This is why NZ’s suicide rate is higher than our road toll and drownings put together . You and any one reading this has to act we force people to go to extreme expense to save the one or two toddlers who drown in domestic pools each year but we allow bulling in adults and through lawyers to continue .
I do hope that you act. I fear that you will not .

Abuse of company legislation
It is well worth watching this U tube clip from fair go this was filmed in 2013 things are probably worse now
new-zealand-great-place-shady-business-video-5650808
Samuel North alleged owner of Muse On Allen – interview and comments.
Samuel North was interviewed on Concrete playground
We would like to set the record straight by providing facts .
Yup okay that was impressively disastrous. You’ve certainly picked up from there though, you established this place at 21, which is ridiculously young, what gave you the confidence to do that?
SN: My parents gave me really good support, they’ve supported me the whole way through it. Especially my dad, he’s been in business before and really wanted me to do this I think. Probably not so young though. I could have waited a few more years but I was just too keen, too eager to own my own place, even if it was going to be something else. This place actually wasn’t even supposed to be a restaurant – I just wanted to have a bar but it turned out completely differently.
Reality
The chattels of Muse on Allen were purchased using Jozsefs money . this is a copy of the sale and purchase agreement 
as can be seen the place was purchased for $90.000 of which $70,000 was funds which Jozsef introduced see here ( all enlarge on clicking )
In return Jozsef received a 70 % share holding
Samuel $30 % based on the fact that HE was getting a loan from his parents and girlfriend as can be seen Samuel’s total investment into Muse on Allen which he claims he owns is a staggering $10,000 from his bonus bonds.
What was behind that huge need to h ave your own place?
SN: I just really hated working for people to be honest. I hated getting told what to do all the time. It was driving me crazy. I was just like fuck, what am I doing? I just wanted to do my own thing.
Reality
yes the reality is that this statement is true and it would appear that this dislike of being told what to do extended to working with some one who has just purchased the chattels for the business . How true “I just wanted to do my own thing.”
Starting a business so young, was it kind of hard to get people to take you seriously?
SN: Yeah it was really hard, especially in the first year. I’d hired all these young people who were like fuck it, he’s 21 what the fuck does he know? It made me realise that I needed to be hiring the right people who were going to support me and who wanted to listen to me. I find that actually hiring older and more mature is better. I’ve got a lot of older staff now. They’re still in their like, thirties and twenties and stuff but they are passionate about the restaurant, the food and the service.
Reality
From what we have seen the person who was calling all the shots in the restaurant was Malcolm North, he was calling all the shots even before he was made a director. the scenario goes Samuel and Jozsef were directors. Samuel gets his mother Debbie North , to be an alternate director she completes her own forms ( which is actually a no no ) and uploads this to the companies register and back dates it to the date of the company formation.
They now use this as a two votes to one directorship and use this to reduce Jozsefs share holding without any new capital going into the business and without any consent from Jozsef. what they did is totally against the companies act .
It is in reality Malcolm and Debbie who were directors with Samuel in the first year after passing resolutions in private to get Jozsef out .
In a herald article –Your Business: Young Entrepreneurs Samuel North is reported as saying
The founder and head chef of Wellington-based restaurant Muse on Allen worked and saved hard for six years, and got a loan from his parents and help from his partner to set up the restaurant, which last year took out a top culinary prize – the Visa Wellington on a Plate Award.
Reality
As we have shown earlier the opening accounts of Muse on Allen , they are evidence that Samuel put in $10,000.
Samuel Norths statement above is correct but it conveniently leaves out the $70,000 investment of his business partner who was then in our opinion and no doubt in the opinion of any right thinking person “ shafted.”
The financial accounts for Muse on Allen show the Loans from his parents and Anabel Torrejos and the share holding of Jozsef but the companies records up until May this year showed Samuel as the only share holder. After that date they brought in Janine Corke a strategist of Corum Limited just days after she became a director Jozsef was sued in the district court .
The shares Samuel North held were effectively stolen from Jozsef and were never legally transferred and have certainly never been compensated for – there is no other way of saying but it is Fraud at the worst and a serious breach of the companies act at the least
Muse on Allen opened in September three months later Jozsef was kicked out and they blamed him for the company not being profitable.. show us a company which is profitable after 3 months .
Now Malcolm North on behalf of Muse on Allen is suing Jozsef for the losses in what is reported in the press to be a ” very successful ” business owned and operated by Samuel North , so successful that the company is claiming to be insolvent see Statement of Claim. Goes to show that even after three years the company is still running at a loss despite all the glowing press reports which say it is full night after night.. but then that is the power of advertising and a different story .
Malcolm North supplied free of privilege the end of year accounts which clearly show that Jozsef is a share holder and has been totally alienated from the company which Samuel pretends that it is his own- even issuing a trespass notice against Jozsef. annual accounts
False allegations are now being made of contempt of court this is because lies have a way of getting tangled and drive desperate people to making desperate accusations.
Samuel and Malcolm you could try paying Jozsef back his money and his costs that you have trumped up through delay tactics.
Let us look at the future by being responsible with regard to what you have done in the past , what you have done to Jozsef is not right .

Good Morning Michaela

I also advise the court that Mr xxxxxxxxx is willfully misdirecting the court as per His honour Justice Collins minute the documents which were provided under rule 8.30 (4) are held in the offices of Duncan Cotterill . They have not been made available to me .
The documents on Transparency were provided by me and as shown in the attachment that Mr xxxxxxxx attached to his legal secretaries affidavit the documents came from the following sources
Page 1. Direct from the plaintiff he had this document in his possessing from the time he purchased the assets.

Page 3 this is a copy of a document which Jozsef has had in his possession from a date prior to the court proceedings .
Page 4 -10 these are available on line from the companies office free of charge and available to the public
Page 11-54 . these are the documents for the district court proceedings in Which Muse on Allen , whichis currently in liquidating court took against Jozsef for the losses which were incurred in the company based on the 63.4% share holding which the SOC alleged he has , being the majority shares in Muse On Allen the very shares which were unlawfully transferred by Samuel north from Jozsef to himself.
Page 55 a document available through the land transport register
I have repeatedly made Mr xxxxxxxxx aware that the documents did not come from discovery in the high court and indeed it is self evident that they were served free of confidentiality By Malcolm North in the district court .
I appreciate that this may not be convenient for Mr Abricrossow but he should not be using his office to conceal fraud and the evidence is obvious that a fraud has occurred in that Jozsefs shares have been deceitfully removed and withheld using the court.
I remind Mr xxxxxxxxxx that he should be acting in accordance with Section 4 of the lawyers and conveyancers act.
We have not breached the discovery in the high court and it is an abuse of process form Mr xxxxxxxxxx that allege that .

Note: Samuel did an interview in Concrete Playground these are extracts show how he started Muse on Allen the reality is reflected in the fact that he transferred the share holding of 
another chef into his own name and then denied Jozsef any rights . The accounts in 2014 show that there were two share holders in the accounts although Samuel was listed as the 100% share holder on the companies office site .
Jozsef had $64,118 equity in the company while Samuel owed the company $6420 yet Samuel went out a bought a 207 BMW SUV loaned against the company BMW
Remembering this read the article below and remember that Samuel is being acclaimed as begin the youngest Chef in Wellington to OWN a restaurant .. He actually OWNS NOTHING and OWES it all to Jozsef
The opening accounts speak volumes prizes fro those who spot the contributions by Samuel click to enlarge 
This is the real secret to opening your very own restaurant. its called other peoples money .
In our professional opinion it is fraud when you get a person to invest in a company they are the majority share holder and then you move all their shares into the name of a person who makes a living off the company . At the same time the majority share holder is excluded and is sued for the losses incurred by the company.
to put the icing on the cake the losses include the purchase of a 2007 BMW which the person who has no share capital in the company but who has claimed all the shares as his own, uses as his own .

Abuse of Companies act – Muse on Allen Limited- request for ministerial investigation
Open letter to Craig Foss Minister of small business
Good Morning Minster
I am approaching you in your capacity as minster for small business and wish to bring to your attention a major flaw which I have identified in the enforcement of the companies act with regards to small businesses.
We appear to have entered a phase where economics are considered before justice and this is distinctly in favour of those who breach the provisions of the companies act.
I am a licenced Private Investigator / Former long serving police and prosecuting sergeant . Earlier this year a young man approached me when his lawyers advised him that after spending $50,000 with them to seek justice it would take another $42,000 to get the matter to trial and since it appeared that the company was insolvent there was no point in pursuing the matter .
In brief the circumstances are my client Jozsef Gabor SZEKELY and Samuel Raymond North are chefs, together they purchased a restaurant for $90,000 they set up a company called Muse on Allen Limited and were 70/30 share holders .
Jozsef is an immigrant to New Zealand . Samuels Father, Malcolm North is an Employment Broker for the ministry of Social Development. Malcolm helped and supported the two boys in getting the business started but it now appears that as far as Jozsef was concerned there as an ulterior motive, that was to provide his son with a company financed by some one else.
Samuel gave the company key to his mother she used this to appointed herself as director and backdated this to the companies date of formation.
Samuel reduced Jozsef’s shares to 49% , then appointed his father as director, removed Jozsef and finally transferring all the shares into his own name. this was all done contrary to the act and without the injection of more share capital
This occurred in January 2013 less than 6 months after the company was formed. Jozsef immediately went to see lawyers . It was correctly identified as fraud but could not get the police to take a complaint .
The lawyers took the matter to court under section 174 of the companies act and Jozsef spent most of his time earning money to pay the lawyers.
Malcolm represented the company in court and even posed as though he was counsel this caused Jozsef’s expenses with the lawyers to go out of hand .
The company would not give Jozsef any of the documents which a shareholder is rightfully entitled to but they were released to Jozsef’s lawyers under confidentiality and copies remain in their office and no duplicates have been released.
When the lawyers withdrew Jozsef approached me, I attempted to get the registrar to correct the on line register based on a set of accounts which we had obtained outside the discovery process.
The registrar however would not act as they claimed that redress was available through the courts .
I acted as a Mc Kenzie friend for Jozsef and supported him in representing himself in court ,the matter was to have been set down for a formal proof hearing but now the company has engaged counsel ( instructed by the very directors who have breached the companies act in so many ways ) and it is set for a three day trial in September on the matter of Jozsef being a disadvantaged shareholder.
In early June we were advised By Malcolm North that the former lawyers for the company have taken the company to liquidation court and the company could be wound up before the hearing.
Jozsef has not only lost his $64,000 investment in the company but has paid $50,000 in an attempt to have his rights enforced.
The final straw came when the company sued Jozsef on 19 June in the district court for the losses which the directors have incurred in the company since unlawfully removing Josef’s shareholding .
The whole purpose of a limited liability company is that the losses are limited to that of the shareholders equity yet Jozsef now finds himself burdened with a second set of court proceedings.
So we now have an ironic situation where by Josef’s shareholding has been removed from him and he is being held responsible for losses in the company due to being a share holder
I have prepared and filed an extensive complaint with the registry integrity , there are some 30 serious companies act offences which the directors and their associates have committed. Yet in again a parallel move they are attempting to hold Jozsef for contempt of court for allegedly using the accounts and the documents which have never been copied or been outside his lawyers office .
The entire process has been total bullying and abuse .
Those who invest in NZ companies should not be subjected to this lunacy, it destroys confidence in small business and shows that there is a major flaw in the system which allows people to effectively steal shareholders equity and use it for their own means. The law is there to protect persons such as Jozsef and ot should be affordable and expedient.
Samuel North has a deficit of shareholders equity in the company yet drives around in a late model BMW vehicle owned by the company while the only person to have invested in the company is being hammered in the court
We request urgent intervention in this matter where by the registrar seeks to hold the company and its directors accountable to the act.
We need a system which prevents this type of scenario from repeating .
In the interest of public confidence in small business ,we hope that you can open a ministerial enquiry into this matter so that this cannot happen again.
I am happy to supply the complaint to the registrar and the evidence on your request .

Corruption in New Zealand – Open letter to the minister of Justice
Good morning Minister
Last week I made submission to the select committee on the anti corruption and money laundering bill
I note that in the bill we do not define corruption
This makes our anti-corruption initiatives extremely effective as you cannot have something which is not defined.
As such the following are NOT examples of corruption in New Zealand
1. Having a business plan to amalgamate local government duties with those of central government for private pecuniary gain then writing the bill for and advising on legislation to facilitate this
2. Making an application for law enforcement powers under that legislation pretending to be a trust when no trust exists .
3. Deceiving a minister by making false claims so as to get the law enforcement approval
4. Getting law enforcement powers for a fictional body by pretending that it is a legal person when it is not.
5. Operating that Fictional law enforcement body from council premises using the staff vehicle and infrastructure for private pecuniary gain
6. Setting up a pretend trust in 2006 to pretend to be applicant and issuing court action to cover up
7. Deceiving the court through lawyers and denying the defendant a hearing or the right of defence of truth and honest opinion so as to re write history using a court judgement obtained through deceit
Through the journey I have found that we effectively try to Kill off Whistle-blowers , through stress financial hardship and making their life hell on every front as such a simple question of “ why does that law enforcement authority not exist as a legal person ?” has cost me my family , my marriage, nearly 10 years of my life well over $400,000 hard cash and goodness only knows how much in lost earnings.
I took on a lawyer who has since been found by the courts to have been “ incompetent “ he is now suing me because I complained of double billing. I made a complaint about a billing issue 4 years ago , it is still not resolved and instead the lawyer has taken me to court in a series of actions seeking to bankrupt me when he has overcharged me some $28,000.- message- don’t complain about your lawyers double billing – he will sue you and make your life hell .
I am a licenced Private investigator and former long serving police officer , I know a thing or two about fraud and corruption and I know that it is impossible to report fraud and corruption in New Zealand because it damages our clean green image.
I have found the greatest issue to be that lawyers are not held accountable to the rule of law, and crooked lawyers have a licence to use our legislation in the most convoluted manner to cover up fraud and corruption . The law society has conflicting roles of member society and lawyers authority , nothing is going to change until those conflicting roles are separated .
The so called public watchdogs, are under resourced and under staffed by competent personnel and we function be throwing up walls for people to bang their heads up against until they either drop dead or go away.
My matter is well researched, I have a ton of documents, from the government’s own files , No government authority has ever looked at them , they all claim it has been through court and it is therefore settled.
This proves that using the court to conceal fraud and corruption in new Zealand works and makes this even more serious.
I have even gone to the extent of filing a petition for a commission against corruption only to find that Mike Sabin, who was on the wrong side of the law himself , threw it out because my evidence disclosed fraud.
It appears that peoples reputations are paramount, that is their reputations not mine – My crime is to have exposed corruption and I have paid a very high price .
I request that you use my scenario as an investigation into corruption in New Zealand , it proves that it exists at every level and that we would sooner shoot the messenger than deal with the real issue.
Are you the minister who will turn corruption in NZ around ? I hope so for all our sakes
