South End School - Community newsletter December 2014:

This is Mario Geremia, as featured in the Wairarapa Times-Age in this little feel good article - written by none other than school secretary Elaine Scully, who called a young Maori student a "lying little bitch" recently - and was forced to apologise for it.



Elaine Scully is also responsible for spreading the defamatory rumours about me which resulted in me receiving a letter from the Board of Trustees falsely alleging that I had "recently been charged by Police with an offence involving a child" in 2009.

I have never been charged with an offence involving a child in my life - as I told the Board of Trustees PRIOR TO EVEN RECEIVING THE LETTER, and I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

After the intervention of Kelvyn Alp and the Office of the Ombudsmen I finally received an utterly pathetic excuse for an apology signed by none other than the person who is continuing to lie and spread untrue and defamatory rumours throughout the community about me, while writing to the 'news'paper on behalf of the School to trumpet the praises of her 'friend' - who is mates with a man recently accused by the Police of raping boys as young as six!

Funny that Elaine Scully's friend Mario Geremia, who replaced me and the other staff member who was unlawfully sacked in 2009, seems to be best mates with a man who Police actually HAVE charged - with raping little boys! These offences were apparently committed while Ball was working as a school bus driver - there is a pattern of sleazy men rising through the ranks in school administration and local government and paedophiles are aided and abetted by corrupt local Police officers who are complicit in the offending and actively covering up for the paedophiles while blaming and discrediting the victims.


Who is Mario Geremia, and why were two staff members at the South End School in Carterton sacked and replaced by a seedy photographer who has a strong association with accused child molester Godfrey Ball.  It seems that Mr Geremia is developing a nice little line in photographing local children, as the Carterton School newsletter of 4 November 2014 shows.

"Video of the Kapahaka Festival - The day was filmed by Mario Geremia and he will be selling copies of the DVD. He will be selling the DVDs individually for $25.00 and your school will be on one or the other (the powhiri will be on both), or you can purchase the whole day for $35.00.  Please contact Mario directly on mardi53@hotmail.com - or call him on (06) 378 8349."

And who is Godfrey Ball, alias Geoffrey Ball?

He is a local man who was charged with a number of violent sexual offences against boys as young as six years old.

He is believed to have committed suicide on 7th August 2014, around two months after he was charged, and after Police began actively seeking other victims.  The Deaths notice in the local 'news'paper confirms the friendship between Mario Geremia and Godfrey Ball alias Geoffrey Ball.

The fact that Mario Geremia is a photographer who likes to photograph little children is a matter of great concern to many people in the community, but it's apparently not of concern to the Ministry of Education, despite the fact that they have recently appointed a Statutory Manager after findings revealed that the Board of Trustees was incompetent.

The Statutory Manager is likewise unconcerned about any of it.  This is consistent with a pattern of concealing and covering up child abuse in the Wairarapa, involving corrupt local Police, Members of Parliament, District Councillors, and other so called 'community leaders'.  It would appear that the Statutory Manager, Ken Wilson, is being well 'incentivised' to ignore our concerns and further slander and victimise myself and the other victim of this outrageous bullying and corruption.  It seems that the longer Ken Wilson can cover up problems the more he is paid.  In a situation that bears remarkable similarities to this one, it is reported that:

"The bill for a government-appointed manager at a Levin high school is likely to top $12,000, pulled from the school's board of trustees coffers and away from student resources.

The Ministry of Education instigated a statutory intervention at Horowhenua College in June after issues between the board and principal, Brenda Burns, came to light.

Nearly six months later Wellington-based education contractor Ken Wilson is still on the grounds, working through things with staff and likely to remain there until mid-March next year, according to the board chairman.

The board called for help at the college when financial reports went askew after a computer system failed, causing six months' of data to disappear, and problems with governance and management escalated.

Concerns circled around lack of clarity between the board's roles and the principal's roles, blurring of responsibilities and communication breakdowns, causing tension."

The following email was sent to Mr Wilson on 1 March 2011:

Hi Ken,

I understand that you are the Statutory Manager appointed to the South End School, and have been asked to write to you regarding issues around the management and administration of the school.

I was recently handed correspondence between the school and Wayne Rogers, regarding the termination of his employment at the school, which seems to mirror the way I was treated (attached).  I've also been contacted by a number of people who have also complained about the school, including the family of a young girl who was called a "lying little bitch" - as in "You're nothing but a lying little bitch" by Mrs Scully, who is also responsible for this confidential correspondence ending up in my hands and the hands of a number of other people.  Many people said that Mrs Scully, Mr O'Leary, Ms Powell and other staff and members of the Board of Trustees have been spreading rumours throughout the community that I am a child abuser, and that Wayne Rogers is also a paedophile.

I received a letter from the Board of Trustees which is attached.  Also attached is a note of thanks I received at the end of the year (2008).  The last paragraph of the letter to me, and the thank you note, make a mockery of the school's current position on the matter, and of the Court proceedings brought against me by Rod O'Leary and the former groundsman Thomas Smith.

I've also received copies of correspondence between the school and the Armstrong family about me, which frankly disgust me because they contain nasty and untrue accusations.  Furthermore, Board of Trustees member Emily Brown came to the Armstrong's home and made a number of derogatory statements about me and about how Emily had contacted Police and mental health authorities about me after I politely requested that she arrange a meeting between and the Board about this correspondence I had received containing the untrue allegation that I was a danger to the children.  Emily Brown is an adulterous liar, who has acknowledged (and boasted about) the fact that she was having it off with George Smith while still married to and living with her husband Graham.  Emily's mother and brother committed suicide, and it disgusts many people in the community that she is going around to homes like the Armstrongs, spreading her nasty spiteful UNTRUE rumours, and causing hatred and division in the community.  She claimed to be representing the Board on this visit, which disgusted us even more.  She should resign from the Board immediately, her adultery and lies disgusts decent people in the community. 

I request the immediate return of everything I brought to the school, including the large sign, tools, hoses, plants, etc.

I request that the school write immediately to Wayne Rogers and apologise to him for distributing his correspondence and breaching his privacy.  He deserves the job as groundsman for all his voluntary work for the school!  The way the Board treats volunteers is disgraceful!

I request that you inform me immediately:
(1) specifically what information (referred to in the correspondence) the school received about me that led them to believe I was (or "could have been") a danger to the children, and
(2) from whom specifically the Board (or O'Leary) received this information.

The correspondence to the Armstrongs is outrageous, the two letters to them clearly contain allegations that I am a danger to the kids, O'Leary knows perfectly well that I never told him any such thing, and that there was no meeting until AFTER I received the letter sacking me, ex Deputy Principal Dallas Powell knows this too. They know perfectly well that the local corrupt police officer told him the lies about me being charged, not me, as he is not dishonestly inferring!  The visit to the Armstrong's by Emily Brown was equally outrageous and she should resign immediately because of that alone - how dare she go around the community breaching my privacy and spreading lies like this!!!?  How unprofessional!  I requested a meeting with the Board!

I request an immediate meeting with the Board to discuss the letter which I received from Gavin Kennedy.  The last paragraph promises me my job back if I am "acquitted of the charges withdrawn" - there never were any charges as everyone knows, and I want my job back without further delay.

I understand you were appointed on 1 October 2010.  How is it then that Wayne Rogers was hired and fired by Rod O'Leary and the Board?

I look forward to your urgent response.

Katherine Raue

This is the outrageous response I received:

3.3.2011

Hi Ken

We have had the attached email in from Kate.

I spoke with Emily yesterday to try and ascertain how she got the attached letters.  Emily is sure she has stolen them from her letterbox.  Unfortunately for us, Emily has admitted that she often doesn’t clear her letterbox (which is on the main street) for days at a time.

I have not responsible for this info getting into Kate’s hands as she states.  I phone Emily or leave a message on her answerphone every time I drop mail into her letterbox.  The only other way I give her board info is to hand it to her son Zac and ask him to take it home (this is usually non important info).

We have phoned the Police and asked them to come down to track this for us.

Any advice?  Do you want me to inform all the board members about what is happening?  Ray was in the office this morning so I have informed him.

Cheers

Elaine.
______________________________________________________________
On the 9th August 2012 I sent this email to Hiria Parata - nepotism is alive and well at parliament, despite all the tax payer funded flowery propaganda published by the State Services Commission MP's flagrantly hire the most incompetent and corrupt individuals imaginable. as the featured article at that link shows.   Parliamentary Services has a stable of these at the ready and are always keen to add more members to the firm.  Complaints are treated with contempt.  So called 'good news' is generated by well paid journalists who then

Hiria Parata is related to Hekia Parata and employed at parliament to pervert the course of justice.  Initial correspondence regarding this matter resulted in an email from Hiria Parata telling me to seek resolution through the Board of Trustees - who have consistently refused to engage in discussion or dialogue regarding this matter.

Tena koe Hiria Parata,

I am forwarding the response I received when I requested the contact details for the Statutory Manager at the South End School so that I could communicate with him in order to resolve the outrageous and ongoing matters regarding the letter I received from the Board sacking me over a false allegation and the subsequent exacerbation of the problems when another staff member was also unjustifiably dismissed and his privacy breached in a similar - and and equally slanderous- manner.

I was phoned about an hour ago by Diane Drake.  She refused to give me an email address for the Statutory Manager and said she'd resolve it by a phone call to police.  I said I'd like to see the evidence in writing and I'd like to put my statements to the school, police etc, in writing and have them responded to in writing.

Please provide me with contact details (email address and phone number) for the Statutory Manager without delay, and arrange for an urgent meeting with the Board, preferably recorded by audio or video to avoid any more false allegations.  This matter should have been resolved a long time ago, the Board must honour the letter and reinstate me forthwith, and stop the dishonesty about the property, it was never 'returned', witnesses confirm this.

I am forwarding copies of this email to other parties including the media because it is in the public interest to do so, the Ministry has continues to fail to deal with it and the latest threats from Ray Craig and assault by Emily Brown's partner is the last straw - is Brown still on the Board?  I request an immediate apology for the slanderous allegation contained in this email!  There never were any "charges involving a child' or any evidence of any "incident" apart from a well documented violent attack on me in my home by a criminal who has been found guilty of fraud and lying as well as violent offences against children, the evidence directly contradicts the false allegations, and the Board must honour this letter and reinstate me without delay and sort out this disgraceful situation!

Katherine Raue

Eventually I received a bit more nonsense from the Minister and her Ministry staff, who clearly had an agenda along the lines of delay, deny and defer, and continue to pervert the course of justice and aid and abet lying bullies as long as possible while enabling the guilty parties to retain their snouts in the trough and their access to vulnerable and innocent victims.

Despite the Personnel and Employment Policy stating that "an elected or co-opted member of the Board of Trustees will be given the position of Personnel Officer and will oversee and monitor the Board's responsibilities associated with this policy" it is clear by a screenshot of the school's appallingly inadequate website as at 19 December 2014 showing that this has never been the case.

There seem to be only the two Policies, and these were only introduced during the tenure of the aforementioned Statutory Manager, and are clearly not worth the paper they're written on.

After the involvement of Kelvyn Alp who wrote to the Ombudsmen pointing out that the previous documented correspondence from the Board and the Ministry (the Privacy Commissioner etc, and all involved except me basically) is nothing more than an orchestrated litany of lies and a despicable and blatant attempt to pervert the course of justice,the Ombudsmen reopened the investigation and eventually I received the following information:

This is outrageous - the Minster of Education, Anne Tolley, clearly stated in 2010 that "the Board of Trustees of the South End school in Carterton was your legal employer." - and as for the claims of Elaine Scully in the email above - these are blatant lies!  I WAS employed - to teach the children the Let's Get Growing NZ community gardening program, every Friday afternoon and Elaine Scully knows that perfectly well, like Wayne Rogers, the other staff member unfairly maligned and unlawfully sacked, I was employed, and promised that I would be paid eventually, "as soon as the Board applied for the funding"!

No information has ever been provided regarding the source of the allegations made in the original letter and neither has any answer been given to most of the other substantive matters raised regarding the sacking of me and the former groundsman Mr R, or the relationship between the new groundsman and the person charged with raping so many children.  The fact that the school has refused to provide the information to date is certainly a matter the Minister should be dealing with effectively!

Here's how it works - corrupt and incompetent local Police hold little witch hunting sessions and lie to the community in order to facilitate the rise to power of people like Logan Bathurst and Georgina Beyer - known locally as Beyer the Liar.  Then they boast in the local paper in a twisted attempt to rationalise and excuse it:

More on how it works at this link, including letters from senior lawyers upholding my complaints and making further complaints of serious malfeasance, assault, corruption and perverting the course of justice.  While the Privacy Commissioner lied and falsely claimed that I told the school I'd been charged with an offence involving a child, the information provided recently shows that I was right all along - and NOT delusional in the slightest - whoever believed I'd been charged by Police with an offence involving a child was either delusional or corrupt and as the tax payer pays their wages we'd better find out which!

It has been claimed by senior lawyers that the actions of the NZ Police regarding these matters are corrupt and politically motivated, and the evidence of it is indisputable.

Drug tests urgently required for NZ politicians - the National government cartel and the drug trade:

,
Despite all the bleating that the sky would fall in if we legalised "gay marriage" in New Zealand, it was another recent piece of legislation passed by the National government that led to a disturbing increase in crime and ill effects on society.  The legislation was short lived as well as ill advised.

The Psychoactive Substances Act came into effect on 17 July 2013 thanks to John Key,  Matthew Bowden and Peter Dunne among others.  Less than twelve months later the government was forced into an embarrassing u-turn.

In late April 2014 the involvement of Peter Dunne's son was revealed - a lawyer who works at Chen Palmer,  he advertises on the Chen Palmer website about his "valuable inside knowledge of how Parliament works". Peter Dunne says his son is "entitled to trade off the fact that he's my son in his business, if he sees that it's to his advantage".  It certainly is, James Dunne is the legal representative of the psychoactive drug cartel.

On 7th May 2014 the National government, in partnership with the Crown, instrumented its latest fiscal fiasco and legislative disaster damage control strategy, the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014, which states that:

"Every interim approval granted in respect of a psychoactive product under clause 4 (before that clause was repealed by section 8 of the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014) is revoked.

    The Authority must, before the close of the day after the date of the commencement of this clause, issue a recall order under section 88 for every psychoactive product described in clause 11 (the product).

    The Authority must—

       (a) display the date of the recall order prominently on the recall order; and

        (b) notify the recall order on an Internet site maintained by or on behalf of the Authority.

    (3) For the purposes of section 88(2), the recall order is deemed to have been received by every importer, manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer of the product on the close of the day after the date displayed on the recall order.

    (4) The recall order may—

        (a) require every importer, manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer (or any combination of them) to—

            (i) provide information to the Authority in relation to the amount and type of the product in their possession:

            (ii) dispose of or destroy, or arrange for the disposal (including by return to a manufacturer or an importer) or the destruction of, the product in their possession:

            (iii) provide information to the Authority on the disposal of or destruction or arrangements for the disposal or destruction of the product in their possession:

        (b) specify locations where the product can be delivered for disposal or destruction:

        (c) specify a time limit for compliance with the recall order:

        (d) specify any ancillary or incidental requirement.

 13 Revocation of interim licences to sell psychoactive products granted interim approval

    Every interim licence granted under clause 7(1)(e) and (f) (before those paragraphs were repealed by section 8 of the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014) is revoked.

    For the avoidance of doubt, and regardless of the outcome of any appeal under subpart 3 of Part 2, the following may not be granted after the commencement of the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014:

        (a) an interim licence to sell psychoactive products granted interim approval by retail:

        (b) an interim licence to sell psychoactive products granted interim approval by wholesale:

        (c) an interim approval.

No compensation or damages are payable by the Crown for any loss or damage arising from the enactment of the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014.”

This is an abrupt about face for the government and evidence of a seriously dysfunctional legislative process - not to mention the stink of taxpayer funded corruption.   The cost to the taxpayers remains to be seen, the social costs have already been seen, with deaths reported and countless reports of addictions and other serious harmful effects - hence the final clause (above).  It is less than a year since the government passed the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013, which contained the following definition:

"psychoactive substance means a substance, mixture, preparation, article, device, or thing that is capable of inducing a psychoactive effect (by any means) in an individual who uses the psychoactive substance."

This Act stated that a person who is a New Zealand resident may apply to 'the Authority' for a licence to import, manufacture or sell psychoactive substances.  So called "experts" on the advisory panel appointed by Peter Dunne MP included Bob Kerridge of the SPCA.

The Key Regulatory Roles are clearly inadequate and the regulatory authority as well as the legislative process, and the present government, clearly incompetent and/or corrupt, and all the while these chemical drugs are labeled as "synthetic cannabis" by journalists and 'television celebrities', drug industry spokespersons, and other key players (and fellow passengers on the gravy train), such as the NZ Drug Foundation, who claim that the drugs need to be legalised "or else they'll end up on the black market" - is that a good reason to legalise cannabis then?

Does alcohol have a psychoactive effect on an individual?  Is tobacco addiction a psychoactive effect?

While the NZ Police and the health system mop up after the industry, and the Police fly round in helicopters looking for cannabis every summer, we've got politicians legalising synthetic drugs at the drop of a hat for their nearest and dearest.

Police appear to have manipulated evidence regarding Scott Guy murder:

Ewen Macdonald was acquitted of murdering Scott Guy in July 2012.  In September 2012  Macdonald was sentenced to five years in prison after he was found guilty of a number of other serious crimes, which he strenuously denied until Police elicited a confession from his partner in crime - and in who knows what else - one Callum Boe, a vulnerable orphan with a brain injury who was considerably younger than Macdonald.

Boe was convicted of arson, theft and intentional damage, he was sentenced to two years in prison, it is unclear how much time he actually spent in prison, the real question is why was he not called to give evidence by the Crown prosecutor, Ben Van der Kolk,a mate of Macdonald's brother, a local Police detective.

Macdonald was sentenced to:

• nine months for poaching the Hocken family's prize stags, 
• nine months for emptying the milk from Nigel Sexton's vat, 
• twelve months for bludgeoning nineteen calves to death with a hammer, 
• two years for burning down Mr Sexton's duck shooting mai mai (camouflaged hut used by duck hunters)
• three years for burning down Scott and Kylee Guy's farmhouse
• two years for vandalising Scott and Kylee Guy's new home.

The two sentences on the arson charges were cumulative and the rest were concurrent, which means the sentence amounted to a total of five years.  (Text that is highlighted on this site contains links to relevant information, click on the text and it'll take you t the link)  Macdonald's lack of remorse and repeated denials were the subject of comment from the Judge.  A few weeks after the sentencing Macdonald's lawyer, Greg King, appears to have committed suicide.  Macdonald first application for parole was about a year after he was sentenced.

In November 2013 Ewen Macdonald was denied parole for a second time, the Parole Board said he had a "significant personality disturbance".  Strangely, nobody ever suggested he be examined by a psychiatrist, he bears all the marks of a psychopath, and a sociopath.  After the murder Macdonald sought - and gained - a position on a local school Board of Trustees.

Recently investigator Mike Crawford sent cell phone data obtained from the Police file on the murder to  UK based intelligence analyst.  The investigators claim a series of mystery phone calls were made to slain farmer Scott Guy on the night prior to his death, and on the day of his killing, which may hold the key to the four-year-old murder.

Shortly after Macdonald's trial the Sensible Sentencing Trust approached four private investigators in a bid to bring Scott's killer to justice.

The team has uncovered calls from a mystery phone number to Scott Guy on the eve of his slaying. They believe he received another call from the unidentified number on the day of his death.

Investigator Mike Crawford said the evidence provided by police was "incomplete ... text messages were not there, there was an absence of cell-site data and three numbers did not have subscriber details attributed".

"We asked for raw telecommunications data from the cellphone sites in the area. The police came back and told me they never got that data, they overlooked it. I mean that is crucial evidence especially in a small rural area. You would then be able to see the phone numbers, who was texting or leaving messages - they never did that."

Crawford said after their probing, he and his team believe the main offender in the Scott Guy murder may have had an accomplice.  Callum Boe and Ewen Macdonald used to boast about their night time "missions", and there was speculation that Scott Guy became aware that there was an inappropriately close relationship between Boe and Macdonald, and fearing exposure, and filled with hatred, a sense of entitlement, and a desire for revenge for perceived slights, Macdonald murdered his brother in law.  Boe would be the obvious suspect as an accomplice.

After the jury found Macdonald not guilty of murder, police stated that they had no other suspect.

Crawford and his team believe there are still new lines of inquiry to be explored, but they are hamstrung because of a lack of funding.  It is outrageous that we are paying taxes to fund an incompetent and corrupt Police force, while so many killers walk free, thanks to a dysfunctional and corrupt 'justice system', while victims are forced to pay private investigators after Police appear to have destroyed evidence or deliberately failed or refused to obtain the evidence of who it was who rang and texted Scott Guy in the hours before his murder!

It's outrageous and unacceptable that we have such widespread spying powers being enacted by the government, who along with the NZ Police, invested millions of dollars into the illegal raids on Tuhoe and Dim Dotcon etc, while Police can't even tell us who rang Scott Guy in the hours prior to his murder - it's also extremely hard to believe that the refusal or failure to access the information is anything other than deliberate!

NZ Police have form for this kind of thing - they charged the victim of threatening messages instead of the perpetrator and refused to even request evidence from the telecommunications company involved - let alone obtain the evidence - they refused to even REQUEST it!

Police reckon Callum Boe had an alibi for the time Scott Guy was murdered - we've only got their word for that though, and Boe was never called to give evidence regarding any of the charges against Macdonald, who is, of course, the brother of a local detective who is great mates with the corrupt Crown Prosecutor Ben Van Der Kolk.

Dave Gallagher booted out of the NZ Police for corruption:

The Wairarapa News - a less descriptive name for a propaganda rag would be hard to find - recently provided some free advertising for disgraced ex Police Constable David Gallagher - the advertisement contains the words "Sensing that it was time to leave the force . . . " before going on to advertise Gallagher's new business venture for free under the guise of "local news".

Yes - he sensed it was time to leave alright - when his bosses and fellow officers demanded his resignation and pointed out to him that disciplinary proceedings and no doubt criminal charges were imminent following a number of formal complaints of his blatant corruption!  This follows Gallagher's latest disgrace in the Courts - after he LIED about not just one but TWO corruptly laid criminal prosecutions in an attempt to impress his corrupt colleagues.

This is the summons containing the false allegation that Katherine Raue allegedly assaulted Gallagher while he was acting in the execution of his duty -

Here is the back of that summons, where it states that the charge was "dismissed" because Police OFFERED NO EVIDENCE on the charge - the prosecutor tried to shift the blame to Sgt Jodie Lawrence but she wasn't having any of it, she KNEW the charges were corruptly laid and refused to have anything to do with this corrupt prosecution or the other one instigated by Gallagher!  Even corrupt prosecutor Garry Wilson wasn't stupid enough to call Gallagher to give evidence in support of the lies on these 'Informations' - which is why the charges were dismissed!

Here's the Judge's decision:

BOTH the 'Informations' were DISMISSED - the second allegation was disproved during a defended hearing in which the defendant represented themselves after the Legal Aid agency failed to provide a lawyer, and Gallagher was booted out immediately afterwards.  He chose to resign to avoid disciplinary proceedings and dismissal - he will be charged with assault and perverting the course of justice.

Disgraced former Minister of Police John Archibald Banks loses yet another Court battle:

John Archibald BANKS MP in the dock at the District Court charged with electoral fraud

Disgraced ex Minister of Police John Archibald Banks continues to lose in Court - here is the latest judicial ruling against him, which reveals previously unheard evidence regarding details of his three hour interview with Police. 

Police now look either stupid or corrupt for refusing to charge Banks, after a private prosecution succeeded in establishing that a prima facie case of electoral fraud exists.

(For optimal viewing ease, click on the little left facing arrow in the top left hand corner, which will expand the main view to fill the frame, then toggle the two scroll bars at the right hand side and the lower edge.):

What happened to George Tipene Harris is as shocking as what happened to his cousin, Nicholas Ward Harris.  Both murdered by taxpayer funded thugs in uniform.

Two Police officers were convicted and jailed for their part in the fatal assaults viciously inflicted on George Tipene Harris that night, and the evidence of the corrupt cover up is extremely damning indeed.  The Chief Coroner also considers that there is cause for concern regarding this matter, recently writing:

Judge MacLean is an eminently sensible Judge who understands his role as a jurist and conducts it with integrity, and transparency - because when you act with integrity you have no fear of transparency.

On the other hand, here's some transparency into the Police 'investigation' - Police lied to cover up for an off duty mate who delivered a sadistic beating to George Tipene Harris - a FATAL sadistic beating - here's how your taxes are being spent covering up murder and corruption!  Dead men don't tell stories - but others do, and good on them.  The meaning of life is redemption.  It's the putting right that counts.

Here is the report of  Constable Douglas PEACH, who 'investigated' the vehicle which is alleged to have hit Mr Harris, killing him - Constable PEACH states in his formal report that the registration number of the vehicle was CHM 187:

Now, here is another report.  This one was written the following day, by Senior Constable Karl WILSON, who seems to have been 'investigating' a completely different road sweeping truck.  - This one had the registration BRM 987.

In the photograph of the street sweeping truck which is contained in the Police report, embedded below, and linked to separately in order to enable viewers to enlarge this photograph, it can be seen that the registration plate has clearly been either removed from the vehicle - there is no mention of it in the reports of anyone at the scene, so it is not credible that it fell off the vehicle at the scene of the killing - or deliberately obliterated from the photograph of the truck.

Coroner Sarn Herdson led the predictable whitewash and damage control grave-y train.  Interested parties may write to Coronial Services and request the Coroner's file to verify these allegations.  There was no mention of the discrepancy between the two registration plates or any of the other relevant and damning facts regarding this blatant cover up of a vicious homicide.

In November 2009 Police Constable Clinton HILL pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter, assault, and perverting the course of justice.   Evidence was given that HILL had killed HARRIS and lied about it - and bribed other witnesses, including other Police officers - to lie about it.

It was reported on the 10th December 2009 that the jury had been unable to reach a verdict on the charges of assault, and perverting the course of justice, against Police Constable Clinton HILL, but acquitted him on another charge of manslaughter.  The family of George HARRIS was shocked at the verdict.

What the jury were undoubtably not told about was the fact that two of those other Police officers that were 'incentivised' to lie about the matter had been sentenced to jail for their part in the killing less than a year earlier.

Constables Reuben James Harris and Benson Lyle Murphy had initially protected their mate, Constable Clinton Hill, who assaulted George Tipene Harris while off-duty in the back of their police car.

Reuben Harris and Murphy pleaded guilty to conspiring to defeat the course of justice.  Another police officer, who allegedly spoke to Hill at the scene, is also charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice.  We believe this is Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA, who told the junior officers what to say, and told them to falsify their statements.  There is no word of what happened to Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA, if anything.

The court heard that Hill had been out drinking on October 3 2004, and allegedly arrested George Harris in Manukau after he attempted to grab a phone from his pocket to call a taxi.  Hill was off duty, out drinking.

Murphy and Reuben Harris stopped in their patrol car and agreed to take Hill and Mr Harris to the station.

Reuben Harris said Murphy got out of the car and Hill asked him to drive down an alleyway and then began assaulting the victim.

George Harris escaped and Hill gave chase. Murphy and Reuben Harris later found Hill kneeling over Mr Harris's body on Great South Rd. George Tipene Harris was a second cousin of Reuben Harris, and was also related to Murphy.

Murphy said a sergeant who arrived at the scene told him and Harris what to say in their statements to investigators, which involved leaving out the alleged assault.

In March this year, a former officer told police that Murphy had told him before the 2005 inquest that his account to investigators was false.

Police reinterviewed Murphy, who had become a recruit with the Queensland police, and Reuben Harris, who had resigned from the force in December 2006, and the pair admitted making false statements.

The men agreed to testify against their former colleagues.  They have met the victim's family, who have accepted their apology.  Sadly, the whistleblowers are locked up and shut up, while a homicidal liar who encouraged so many other NZ Police Officers to also lie to cover up his sadistic killing, walks free among us.
Links will be updated in this report to evidence and information regarding this matter, in the next few days.

Transparency NZ are assisting members of Mr Harris's family to write to the Solicitor General about this matter, and take further action in the Courts to ensure accountability, and see that justice is served for George and his cousin Nick.

Here is the Police report into the death of George Tipene Harris, it is disturbing on a whole lot of levels (click the < arrow in the top left hand corner and then use the scroll bars to view, or access directly at this link).



Particularly damning is the statement of Constable Reuben Harris.  Reuben Harris states that his supervisor is Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA.  It's also just fascinating that there is no statement on this file from Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA, the officer in charge of the scene.  The driver of the truck alleged to have struck George Harris had been drinking, but was assured by Police officers that the death had nothing to do with him and he was - incredibly - allowed to leave the scene of the crime - and apparently allowed by Police to drive the truck away too!



Police caught up with him hours later, and breath tested him.  He was found to have a significant amount of alcohol in his system - as did Clinton Hill.  Why was he allowed to leave the scene?

The Police have withheld the age of Constable Reuben Harris, this is ridiculous, the public have a right to know how old he is.  Apparently Constable Reuben Harris - a key witness to the assault and killing of George Tipene Harris on 3rd October - was not interviewed until THREE DAYS LATER.  His statement was taken on Wednesday the 6th October 2004, the taking of his statement began at 9:55 pm and finished at 1:15 am.

At around 4 am on the 3rd of October Constable Benson Lyle Murphy and Constable Reuben Harris were cruising around Manukau in their Police car when they just happened to come across their mate. Constable Clinton Hill, who was off duty, and drunk, and George Tipene Harris, who was related to two of these Police officers.  There's also the question of whether they just happened to come across him or whether the phone calls between off duty cop Clint Hill and his brother resulted in the victim crossing paths with his killers that morning.  Constable Reuben Harris was driving.  Clinton Hill states that he was taking George Harris to Wiri Police station.

Constable Murphy states that Hill forced George Tipene Harris into the Police car and allegedly told him and Murphy that he - Clint Hill - had "arrested" George Tipene Harris.  Problematic on a whole lot of levels - Hill was off duty, drunk, aggressive and unreasonable.  He was looking for a confrontation and with George Tipene Harris and he co-erced Murphy and Reuben Harris into going along with it.  Bullying is all good fun - until someone loses a leg, and their life.  And the whistleblowers are locked up while the killers walk free.

So, Hill forced George Tipene Harris into the car, telling his mates that it was because George had "tried to take his cellphone" and "ripped his jacket" - showing them a little bit of white fluff as "evidence" of this alleged crime.  Neither Murphy or Reuben Harris cautioned George Tipene Harris or told him he was under arrest and what for.  "Trying to take a cellphone" and "ripping a jacket" are not listed under the Summary Offences Act or the Crimes Act, and the evidence shows that the so called arrest of George Tipene Harris was unlawful, and that it was in fact kidnapping.

Constable Murphy states that he noticed that Clinton Hill was intoxicated, but that he "seemed of his wits to know what he was saying and I was not concerned about that issue at all."  Murphy had only been a Police officer for 18 months.

He states that Clinton Hill "was worried that he may be inconveniencing us."

He then states that instead of taking Clinton Hill and George Tipene Harris to the Police station, they drove up the road and conspired in the killing of George Tipene Harris.  George's friends tell how the last they saw of George was when Clinton Hill grabbed him and marched him down the road to his death.  They went to the Police station to pick him up, like Hill told them to, but George never made it to the Police station.  He died on the side of the road after a bashing by Hill and his mates, and his death was corruptly covered up.

Constable Murphy states that after Clinton Hill forced George Harris into the car they drove up the road and Murphy and Reuben Harris got out of the car, leaving Hill in the back with George Harris, who they state was drunk - and so was Hill according to Murphy and Rueben Harris, and unrestrained. Constable Benson Lyle Murphy states that Clinton Hill was shouting at George Harris. Murphy states that they were going to take George to Manurewa Police station - he never made it to Wiri OR Manurewa or any other Police station - after Police "took him for a little ride" and beat him up and chased him to his death for "bumping into" a drunken off duty cop with an attitude problem.

George Harris got out the unlocked door of the Police car, Clinton Hill tried to get out his door but the kiddie lock was on on his side - but not on George Harris's side - so Hill got out the driver's side and chased George Harris up the road to his death.

Constables Murphy and Reuben Harris gave chase in the Police car.  Constable Benson Lyle Murphy states that they then "came across" Hill and George Harris again, but Harris was already dead or dying by then.

Constable Murphy states that when they pulled up next to Hill and George Harris, Hill stated that he couldn't feel the pulse of George Tipene Harris.  Constable Murphy called an ambulance, and then noticed a street sweeping truck pull up in front of the patrol car, he states that it was not there when the patrol car pulled up.  He states that he questioned the driver of the street sweeping truck, Constable Murphy states that he asked the driver of the street sweeping truck "Did you hit him" and the driver, Mr Semisi Cocker, stated "Yes."

Constable Murphy then told Clinton Hill to move away from George Harris, proceeded to roll him into the recovery position and ascertained that he was actually breathing.  Constable Murphy tried to assess George's injuries, he could see that his leg was "mangled" in fact it was almost completely severed, if not completely severed, evidence indicates the latter, blood was coming from his ear and there was blood on his face.  His eyes were rolled back in his head.  Constable Murphy stayed there with George, talking to him, telling him that the ambulance was coming.  Constable Reuben Harris walked away and occupied himself talking to a tow truck driver who had arrived on the scene - there is no statement from the tow truck driver, or from Glen SETU - another witness, and no statement from Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA - the ringleader of the coverup apparently.

After Constable Murphy helped to put George in the ambulance - which was dispatched as a priority TWO - and as such proceeded to the scene slowly, without sirens or lights, no hurry - appallingly! - Constable Murphy then asked for a supervisor to come to the scene.  Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA then arrived and "the scene was turned over to Acting Sergeant Justin TAIRUA."  Evidence at the scene was treated extremely carelessly to the point of deliberate negligence.

Constable Reuben James Harris had also been a Police officer for less than two years, having graduated in November 2002.  His age has also been withheld by Police - because it is indicative of a lack of maturity and experience!  And therefore in the public interest and RELEVANT!  Constable Reuben Harris was driving the patrol car and Murphy was in the front passenger seat.

Constables Reuben Harris and Murphy, and George's friends, confirm that George Tipene Harris was not aggressive at all, and that Clint Hill was, George was apologetic and submissive, while Hill shouted at him aggressively demanding to know why he tried to "steal" his phone.  Hill was also already wound up and aggressive because of a series of phone calls from his brother.  Hill confirms that he indicated that George's friends could use his phone, there was apparently a misunderstanding, no doubt caused by both parties being significantly affected by alcohol and Clinton Hill being affected by adrenalin after the phone calls with his brother indicating danger - whether real or imagined or deliberately fabricated - and it seems that the latter was the case.

Reuben James Harris and Benson Lyle Murphy were sentenced to 15 months jail in August 2008 after pleading guilty to conspiring to defeat the course of justice after they lied to try and protect Hill.

In the High Court on 2 March 2009 Justice Pamela Andrews quashed their prison sentences, instead sentencing them to 10 months home detention, the Dominion Post reported.

Harris and Murphy had immediately appealed their initial sentences and were bailed without spending a day in to prison.

Justice Andrews did not give a reason for her decision.

Hill appeared in the High Court at Auckland on 2 March 2009 charged with Mr Harris's manslaughter, while an un-named police sergeant was charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
