Michael Murphy, Tracy Feast and Corrupt PC Cunningham Pervert the Course of Justice:

Here are the "statements" taken by corrupt police Constable Peter Cunningham about the violent attack on me in my home on 11 February 2009.  Note how they waffle on about all sorts of trivial rubbish that has absolutely nothing to do with the attack on me, and a pack of lies about me allegedly taking a child to the supermarket without permission, what Tuakana Greig was cooking for tea, etc - this was a violent home invasion exactly like the one police corruptly ensured Gary McPhee got away with!

Also note that the matter originates with Tracy Feast and her mate "Lee Ann" and their lies about me leaving Tuakana Greig's daughter "alone" in the supermarket - but when I insisted police obtain the CCTV footage from the supermarket the lies magically change into another story about me taking her to the supermarket "without proper permission" - as if this is some sort of excuse for the violent attack!  Tracy Feast and her partner are responsible for the death of a local woman called Donna Thompson.  Donna's death was classified by Police as suicide, although many believe that there is evidence to suggest she was murdered, and every single person I have spoken to believes that Feast and her partner are directly responsible for her death.  Feast discovered that her partner had been having an affair with Donna Thompson and blackmailed him into extorting $20,000 from her to get them out of the financial mess they were in and buy another house for Feast to live in.  Feast's partner found the body, and had ample opportunity to get rid of damning evidence, and it seems the suicide note disappeared during the "investigation".  Here's evidence of how Police perverted the course of justice AGAIN for Tracy Feast's best friend, Michael Murphy - these statements aren't about the attack on me they are a further attack by the corrupt local police and a clear attempt to pervert the course of justice!

The facts are that Murphy incited the attack by conspiring with Feast - who was paying him to look after Feast's daughter, making up the story about some vague non-incident in the supermarket and telling it to Greig.  This is the same little games they've been playing for years in the Wairarapa, and it's why there is so much child abuse, violent crime and suicide round here.  Here's what 2 witnesses said:

Clare Marie COOK: Handwritten statement -  PC Cunningham           12 February 2009

Last night I was out for a walk with my friend Kelly.  I had my dog with me.  We left from my house down Lincoln Road.  We went into Brooklyn Road.  We walked the length of Brooklyn Road and were on the corner of  Brooklyn Road and High Street on the left hand side of the road.

We heard a female and a male’s voice.  We couldn’t hear what was being said.  We heard a loud bang then several bangs.

We heard a female voice saying what the fuck have you done to my baby.  She said it again.  She sounded hysterical.

I went over to the house.  There was a male walking back and forward from the car to the porch way.  There was a female slumped against the door.  She was the one saying about her baby.  She was upset and crying.  She looked a mess and looked exhausted.

The male was saying move out of the way and I’ll fucken smash the door down.

I said excuse me what’s going on I can hear you down the street.

The male stopped and turned around and said that the lady inside has been abusing this lady’s 5 year old all day and she has just found out about it.

I said where is the baby now.

He said he is at home.

I said “This is not the way to deal with it you need to tell the police if someone hurt your baby.”

He said “I know I am trying to get her away from the door and get her home.

I was in front of the door and telling the lady to leave and go home.

The male said “We have been to the police and they don’t do anything about this lady.”

I said “This isn’t the way to do this.”

He said “We are going now.”

He took hold of the female and guided her over to the car.

The lady was sobbing.

They drove off.

Kelly came over after speaking to the police.

The lady in the house opened the window and asked for my details.

She then came out and said these people had been following her for ages.

She said that they have been driving past in the morning.  She started to go on about Fijians and how they were druggies.

She showed me some blood on her hand.

She said look, and showed me the blood on her arm.

It looked like a little scratch.

She never said she was assaulted.

To my knowledge the male and female didn’t get inside the house.

She kept going on about her lawyer in Wellington and the people and their family.

She said he was a druggie who lived in Wyndham St.  She said that she looked after her kid at the supermarket.

We said if the people are like this why are you looking after her kid.

She then got rude and said I don’t think you are in a position to comment.

She then said about children getting beaten.

I said We have just come over to help and now you are being rude.

We then walked off.

We went to the police station but there was no one there so we went home.

I have read this and it is true and correct.

Clare Marie Cook: Handwritten statement -  PC Cunningham           12 February 2009

Note: This statement contains several inaccuracies, one obvious one is that when Cook asked me why I was looking after their children I said that it was obvious to anyone that they were both violent people who had anger management problems, and looking after their kids was what any normal person would do.  What kind of person calls that rude?  Cook and Wilson are both employed caring for children and when I requested their permission for access to the audiotape of their call to emergency services they refused, saying I should just "get over it."  It's obvious to most people that Cunningham has perverted the course of justice to cover up for Feast and Murphy, a careful read of the documentation reveals the corruption to anyone with half a brain!  This isn't an attempt to resolve a crime, this is a corrupt cover up and Cunningham should have been sacked years ago.

The cost of not sacking him is that he has now corrupted so many other police officers, dragging them into this, like Constable Rhymer, who said to me "You are going to be charged" because she wasn't stupid enough to risk her career for arresting me for something I didn't do in the face of all the evidence of this corruption, while violent child abusers were protected by this blatant corruption.  Cunningham and his corrupt fellow officers have created an environment where corruption flourishes, the blatant cover up of corruptly 'elected' Mayor Gary McPhee involved other Carterton officers Pope and Cadwallader, all conspired to pervert the course of justice and cover up McPhee's serious violent home invasion, none of this has been addressed.

Here's Murphy's lies - he never once came to the farm where I lived to pick mushrooms - what a liar! 

Michael Francis MURPHY: Handwritten statement -  PC Cunningham           12 February 2009

I have known Kate Raue since May last year.  We went and picked mushrooms from her farm.  When I first met Kate she convinced me that Gary McPhee was a bad person.

She use to come around lots.  She would say I have a sore back and am tired I’ll burst into tears if you don’t agree with me.

Malcolm Swanson is a mate of mine.  Kate was in our group as a friend.  We all shifted Kate from Moreton Road to Brooklyn Road

She didn’t have enough room at her new property in Brooklyn Road for all her stuff.  I let her put some of her property in my garage.

When she is stressed she talks really fast.  Malcolm and Kate became interested in each other.  She stopped talking fast and stopped going on about the Council.

Malcolm started to go out with Kate.

When we went to Auckland we all left out house keys with Kate.  When we came back from Auckland about the second week of January 2009, Kate and Malcolm had broken up.

Since then Kate has blamed me for breaking them up.  She has decided that all her problems were caused by me.

I decided to convert some of my garage to a gym.  I had a lot of Kate’s property stored in the garage and decided to take it back to her.

I took one load in the car around to Kate’s house.  Her landlord Hayden was there.  I put the stuff in the shed.  He was sweet over this.

I went around the next day to work out how to shift the rest of her stuff.  It was too big to fit in the car and I didn’t have a trailer.

Kate came running out and looked angry.  She was saying get off my property.  I didn’t want a confrontation with her.  She was calling out to a mate called Aaron across the road.

She was saying look Aaron he is assaulting me look at his face remember his face.

I left and came home.  I decided to go to talk to Gary McPhee to see if he could help.  He wasn’t in his office but  phoned me back saying he was going to be in his office at 3:15 pm.  I went and asked if he could help get her property out of my garage.

Gary made an offer to help move the property and drop it off at Kate’s place.

He also said he would ask the police to come with him

We had tried to get Kate to come and pick up her property but she didn’t.

Gary and I took the property around to Kate’s house.  Constable Cadwallader came with us.  We dropped the property off.  I felt that Kate was inside her house but she didn’t come out.  When we finished dropping it off Constable Cadwallader asked me to text Kate to say her property had been dropped off and to take responsibility for it.

Later Malcolm came over and showed me a letter that Kate gave him the letter was upsetting because it referred to me not looking after my daughter and talked about me hurting her horses.  I would never hurt any horse.

I later learned that Tiare who is Tuakana’s daughter had been to the supermarket with Kate.  I heard from Lee Ann that Tiare was left in the supermarket and was found wandering around by herself.

Tuakana was at her home.  I went around with Mitch.  I told Tuakana what I had heard about Tiare and the supermarket.

I wanted to go and tell Kate to stay away from all of our friends.  Tuakana wanted to go and ask her what happened at the supermarket.

We drove to her address.  I had to get out the passenger side of the car because the drivers door is broken.  Kate ran into the house.  Tuakana was on the door step asking Kate what had happened at the supermarket.

Kate was inside the house laughing at us.

Tuakana yelled what did you do to my baby.

I was standing behind Tuakana.  I went down the steps and started to walk back to the car.

I was yelling as well.

A lady with a dog came up to me.  She asked what was going on.  I told her that Kate was abusing Tuakana’s child.

She said to go to the police.

I said the police are not doing anything.

I went up and grabbed Tuakana and pulled her back to the car.

We left and went back home.

The police officer came to number 14 Wyndham St where I had parked my car in the driveway.

He came up to the back of the car.  I had to get out the passenger door again.

I told him the drivers door was broken.

He asked what had happened in Brooklyn Road.

I told him that Tuakana was upset because Kate Raue had taken her daughter without permission to the supermarket.

I admitted going to the address and yelling and I was also upset at Kate.

I told him that I didn’t hit Kate and the door was shut and she was inside and we were outside.  I didn’t see Tuakana hit Kate either.

I know it was silly to go around there but with all that has been going on we were both upset.

After the lady with the dog talked to me I realised that I had played into Kate’s hands by going there.

I went and got Tuakana and left.

I have read this statement and it is true and correct.

Michael Francis MURPHY: Handwritten statement -  PC Cunningham           12 February 2009
___________________________________________________________________________

"We left and went back home" - Murphy and Greig went straight back to Tracy Feast's house - paid for with Donna Thompson's money.  The car wasn't even in warrantable condition, and I doubt it was road legal.  Compare Cunningham's lack of concern over any of this with his zeal in issuing me with hundreds of dollars worth of tickets for not wearing a bike helmet.  Methamphetamine addict Wayne Friend was pulled over by police recently in the same car, still unlicensed and unwarranted, but after a brief discussion with the officer's supervisor, Wayne Friend was allowed to drive away without even a ticket!

In the Wairarapa you can get away with murder if your name's Tracy Feast.  Read Cunningham's corrupt "Offence Report" - this isn't an offence report at all, it's an orchestrated litany of lies!  Cunningham didn't even speak with me, his focus was on covering up what Tracy Feast and Michael Murphy had done.  I didn't demand that police repair my door immediately as he states - I insisted that they arrest Murphy because I had made a number of complaints about him stalking and harassing me in the weeks and days before the attack, including that very morning.  I pointed out that while he was still at large and the door was unable to be secured I was at risk of another attack from him during the night while I slept.  I've since been introduced to another local woman who made a formal complaint to police about Murphy making almost identical threats to her a few years ago.  Police are of course saying they can't find the file.

Corrupt Amicus Curiae needs his head read far more than me!

The Amicus handed me an 8 page document at Court the other day, a "Notice of Application to Court to Determine Whether Or Not the Accused Was Involved In the Offence(s) Alleged in the Indictment Filed and is Fit to Stand Trial Pursuant to Sections 9,11,12,13 and 14 of the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 at Special Hearing Post Committal but Prior to Trial Commencing by Amicus Curiae".

Then he babbled on about me having to have two more psychiatric reports.  I said I wanted an inquiry into the blatantly and deliberately erroneous original one by Dr Justin Barry-Walsh, in consultation with the corrupt police officer in charge of the case and a lawyer who quit acting for me after refusing to accept basic instructions.  Corrupt amicus curiae Bryan Yeoman is an ex police officer who is conspiring with corrupt local Police and Court staff to pervert the course of justice by pursuing this malicious and vexatious litigation, and dragging it out as long as possible, in order to milk the taxpayers of New Zealand of as much money as possible to fill their own pockets - it's disgusting - no wonder NZ has the highest rates of suicide in the world!

Ken Daniels was assigned by legal aid to represent me, after quitting at short notice twice before after differences of opinion. In this case the differences arose almost immediately. I incurred around $40,000 in legal fees from Michael Appleby as a result of the last matters Ken resigned from, and wrote at least one complaint to the Law Society about him, so was therefore amazed that he had been assigned in the first place. My first instruction to him was to obtain the audio recordings of all the calls to 111 on the 11 February 2009. I instructed Ken to write his standard information request to the police: He refused. Repeatedly.

Michael Murphy's Depositions Evidence records him taking exception to the statement in his Brief of Evidence "I used to frequent Kate Raue's place". He goes on to elaborate, saying that once or twice since December 2008 he visited but it was when we were friends. I told Ken Daniels and the corrupt Amicus Curiae that Murphy came and attacked me on 11th February, seriously enough for three woman to call emergency services and tell police that there was a massive fight going on and men had turned up in a car and were smashing up my house and smashing down my door. Kelly Wilson's statement documents Murphy screaming "Get out of the way Kana and I'll smash down the door" etc, and the audio recording of the phone call will no doubt record Murphy's other murderous threats.

Read Constable Cunningham's record of events, the Offence Report, read the statement he took from Murphy about the attack - is this a report of some people coming to my house and attacking me or is this an attempt to pervert the course of justice by trying to make out that a violent home invasion never happened? Cunningham apparently excuses the attack because Murphy told him that some woman called "Lee Ann" told Murphy that I had left a child unattended in the supermarket earlier in the day.

I told the Amicus to ask Murphy a simple question at the Depositions Hearing: "Did he or did he not come to my house and smash the door in and attack me on February 11 2009" The amicus refused to ask it, or anything to do with it, Aaron Brook gave evidence that he had ADHD and couldn't remember a thing and Constable Laura Rhymer told a pack of lies like she did at the hearing at which I was acquitted of the escaping from custody charge because it was so blatantly obvious that she was LYING that the Crown Prosecutor applied to dismiss the indictment!   A record of the Depositions transcript is here:

More psychiatric reports for Alice - Cunningham, Murphy, Brook and Rhymer need psych reports much more than me!

23.10.2010

Went to Wellington again yesterday for Court, accompanied by a fellow member of Transparency in New Zealand and the FOCCers, who kindly offered to act as my McKenzie Friend.  Hopped on the train, and as it swept around the bend and onto the waterfront, rolling round the harbour and into the little city I love so much I felt slightly less sick and depressed and anxious about the Court hearing (or whatever it was called) at 2:15.  

We noticed the difference immediately as we cycled round the waterfront to some very sweet music from the buskers.  There were people everywhere, walking, jogging, on skateboards, rollerblades, a rickshaw, and all manner of wheeled contraptions.  As usual, there was a happy and peaceful mingling of everybody.  Everyone was smiling, quite a few cycists weren't wearing helmets, and certainly not the rickshaw riders, skateboard riders or anyone on the other wheeled contraptions.  

What a contrast to the Wairarapa, where locals feel obliged to shout out "Where's your helmet?" at me ad infinitum, and police feel obliged to carry on the way they do - issuing hundreds of dollars worth of tickets one after another for not wearing a cycle helmet, and a campaign of malicious and vexatious litigation and corruptly laid charges against me. 

 There is some strong feeling against cyclists in Wellington, but in my own experience most drivers there are considerate of cyclists when driving, and when opening car doors when parked, and there is mutual tolerance, and deference to, pedestrians.  There is a markedly different attitude in the Wairarapa.  Most motorists in Wellington have a reasonably considerate attitude to cyclists, and most cyclists have a reasonably considerate attitude to pedestrians, we all have to share the same space and there are few problems.

We went to check out the new bus lanes in Manners Mall - scary stuff!  The road is clearly too narrow for buses to pass each other, and bicycles will be forced onto the footpath.  Six cyclists killed on the roads in a week!  I bet all six were wearing their helmets too.  75% of accidents involving cycles and cars are caused by the car and cyclists suffer far serious injury than drivers in these cases which are often fatal to the cyclists.
So, off to Court it was at 2:15 pm; I was the last person called, and had to stand in the dock trying to balance my papers and diaries and write on a thin shelf in mid air as the prosecutor and amicus curiae carried on, perverting the course of justice with this utter travesty of justice, based on an orchestrated litany of lies.  It was as surreal as ever.

The amicus curiae got up and started going on about me having two more psychiatric reports!  Saying I needed two more done!  This is an outrageous abuse of taxpayers money - something needs to be done about recovering whatever money Dr Justin Barry-Walsh was paid for cobbling together the orchestrated litany of lies he came up with in support of the corrupt attempts to have me declared insane or written off as a hysterical and pitiful nutter.  The amicus curiae knows this perfectly well.  His communications with everyone except me are here for all to see.  Except that I didn't ask him for the transcripts of the calls to 111 on the 11th February - I asked for the audiotape of the call, which records Murphy's mad threats and the sound of him smashing down my door!  Yeoman has been asked to provide all communication he has received from me regarding these matters, which will show these communications of his to Pearl Christian and Michael Snape to be corrupt and inaccurate rubbish.  Yeoman deliberately refused to ask Murphy "Did you or did you not go to Katherine Raue's house on the 11th February 2009 and attack her, smashing down her door and bashing her with the door handle which you ripped off the outside of the door, violently in a sustained and violent rage?"  He also refused to ask Rhymer why she refused to charge Murohy with the attack on me of which there is indisputable evidence, unlike the basis for the Crown case in this matter which is an orchestrated litany of lies.

Then the Judge looked at me and said "Mrs Raue, do you think you need to have a psychiatric report done" - what a question to ask someone!  Especially if they're suspected of being mental!  Of course I responded by pointing out that the only reason I'd had to have one done in the first place was because of the notes written by a certain lawyer who was representing me at the time and was actually present in the Wellington Court yesterday as well but who shall remain nameless, who wrote  the notes at left, which include the comment that "everyone agrees that she's a bit marginal!"  It is perfectly obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that I'm the last person involved in these proceedings who needs a psychiatric report.  This matter is an abuse of process and it's obvious that it should never have made it into the Court in the first place - it is further evidence of police corruption in the Wairarapa and a refusal to investigate child abuse allegations if they are against mates of the police or police informers.  The Evidence of Aaron Brook, Peter Cunningham, Laura Rhymer and Michael Murphy makes it perfectly clear that I am the last one involved in this matter who needs a psychiatric report!

More evidence of why Murphy and Brook need psychiatric reports tomorrow!

Public service wages - how your taxes are spent:

It's unbelievable what some public servants are being paid, here is proof of what Earthquake Commission claims managers are being paid - $800-$1300 per day. Note the ease with which the outrageous amounts are just accepted by 'Paul'. This is where your taxes are going folks:

Good Morning John and Paul

I have elected to review the remuneration paid to Derek and Julie.

Julie is currently working in a management role and is working additional hours for which she has not been claiming extra for. She has provided commitment to this role and accordingly her remuneration should reflect the additional effort she has put in. I have therefore increased her daily rate to $800.00.

Derek is no longer working as an office manager but has taken on the role and responsibility of Manager Claims Processing. He has direct reporting lines to myself. IN view of the additional responsibility and recognition of the effort he has made his daily rate will now be $1300.

Both of the above are effective from 1 November 2010.

And here's what these public servants are spending OUR money on: In the High Court at Wellington yesterday, EQC worker Brendan John Clarke, 37, was sentenced to four years and eight months jail for possessing what the police said was a $1 million shipment of cocaine for the purpose of supply.

Justice Robert Dobson said the 2.985kg of cocaine was brought into New Zealand in the bottom of a foreign drug courier's suitcase. The Mexican courier, David Negrete Nevarez, was sentenced last week to seven years jail.

And meanwhile, hundreds of elderly Christchurch residents are demanding answers to why it's taking so long to get action regarding their damaged homes, well this is the reason why, because EQC staff are robbing the taxpayers blind and want to keep their snouts in the trough for as long as possible!

Police not performing - time for a complete review of the Police and the IPCA:

On 1 July 2009 the Dominion Post published the following article showing that investigation had found that police lacked the policies, procedures and practices to deal effectively with incidents of sexual misconduct by police officers.  The fact that the investigation was restricted only to incidents of sexual offending is ridiculous! The real issue was not the sexual offending but the deliberate and corrupt refusal of so many senior police officers to investigate the allegations!  The sexual offending of the officers involved was one thing, but the orchestrated litany of lies covering up the complaints, and the blatant corruption of senior police to investigate the complaints exposed the level of corruption in the NZ Police and the need for a proper inquiry into how the Police Complaints Authority operates.  They are not independent and never have been!

Then on 23 June 2010 the following report appeared, once more focussing solely on "sexually inappropriate behaviour".   

And in November it was reported that less than one in five police officers "felt engaged in their job"

For he's a jolly Goodfellow - new Tui billboard?

 

A bitter divorce in one of New Zealand's richest families has resulted in the estranged wife, Elizabeth Black Goodfellow, filing for legal aid after claiming she was unable to personally pay over $270,000 in legal costs she has incurred to date.

Elizabeth Black (known as 'Libby') has been separated from National Party President Peter Goodfellow since early last year. The Sunday News has reported in an article titled, "Tangled National love triangle" - that Goodfellow has recently shacked up with Desley Simpson, the socialite wife of Scott Simpson - who is, ironically, the very man who is tipped to succeed Goodfellow, should be be forced to stand down.

Together with his father Douglas and brother Bruce, the Goodfellows are presumed to have a net worth in excess of a half billion dollars. They control scores of trusts and companies, mostly through blind trusts and third party companies. Libby is the granddaughter of U.S. Supreme Court luminary Hugo Black.

Peter has listed his occupation as "executive chairman" but claims little personal income. In what his wife considers to be a divorce strategy, he has resigned from a half dozen directorships in the last year.

Libby and Peter were married in 1990 after seven years in a defacto relationship. Cracks in the relationship developed in 2006. Mr Goodfellow was becoming volatile according to his wife in court papers and she had developed a dependency on pain killers. In 2007, Mr Goodfellow took his wife to the U.S. for specialist medical treatment for dependency. He returned without her and reportedly told friends she would not be returning.

Ms Black returned to Auckland in January 2009 and was awarded temporary occupancy of the matrimonial home in Orakei after a District Court Judge ruled she was the victim of domestic abuse. The home includes a half million dollar wine collection in its large, security-monitored cellar. Yet she is prohibited from selling any of it, or access to cash accounts. She says that she struggled to pay the $1,000 power bills this winter.

Despite the extravagance in vintage wine - a further half-million dollars in wine is claimed to be held in the cellar under the Anzac Avenue offices of Peter's father - parsimony governs the Goodfellow clan. The now 94-year old patriarch does not like parting with money not destined to make more money, although he has contributed extensively to various charities. His furtiveness and control over money matters is reportedly such that Peter did not know he had inherited $17 million from his grandfather until Deloitte's informed the couple of the potential tax liability. The inheritance went into a tax structure that avoided the tax man. Ms Black claims to have no idea where this money is today.

It is claimed that Ms Black's father, a retired lawyer in the U.S., gifted the couple $450,000 over the course of their marriage and contributed additionally to the updating of what was Peter Goodfellow's childhood home in Orakei. The judge making the temporary possession order surmised this childhood connection may eventually tip the balance in Mr Goodfellow getting the house in division of property.

Mr Black recently fronted $125,000 toward his daughter's legal bills and has expressed to our source kiwisfirst that he is as frustrated as his daughter at the forensic accountant's seeming inability to unravel the myriad of companies controlled by various accountants and Goodfellow family friends.

An unseemlier side of power and privilege revealed itself in a search of the Court file, with documents disclosing that Mr Goodfellow's lawyers had attempted to hand select Family Court Judge Peter Bouchier in the divorce case. This attempt was rebuffed by a Minute of Judge Ian McHardy.

Ms Black's lawyer is Maureen Southwick QC. Mr Goodfellow is represented by Deborah Hollings QC, whose husband is Court of Appeal Justice Robert Chambers.

During much of the marriage Mr Goodfellow, a qualified solicitor, acted as his wife's agent. In 2008, he enlisted Korda Mentha to revalue, and then strike off, companies he and his wife were involved in. The assets appear to have been absorbed at little or no value by other companies controlled by the Goodfellow family. No doubt by coincidence, Justice Chambers is a friend of Korda Mentha Manager Alan Garrett.

In her professional profile on the Bankside Chambers website, Ms Hollings claims to be the sole shareholder of her operating company Deborah Hollings Limited. However, the Companies Office shows a 50% shareholding by Justice Chambers.

Mr Goodfellow has made a financial settlement offer to his wife. His accounting shows a net value of the marriage assets to be $3.1 million, after a $600,000 mortgage on the matrimonial home is paid to his father. He has offered half.

The acrimonious divorce plumbed new depths when Ms Black was accused of "kidnapping" one the couple's dogs, and Mr Goodfellow repeatedly tried to get his ex wife to return her wedding ring.
