Subject: Raue complaint

Hi Mary,

In response to Ms Raue's request regarding the statements that were legally unsafe to publish.

The statements in her complaint, which she asked to be published in full, which would have been of concern to publish were:

"Because a person believes that the Wairarapa police and Court staff are unprofessional to the point of being corrupt doesnt' mean the person is delusional. Making hundreds of child abuse files "disappear" and claim they were "lost" is basically corruption. Claiming that the file regarding the investigation into the allegations of fraud regarding the Carterton Community Centre "does not exist" to cover up the fact that the investigation never took place is corruption."

Also the statement ending:

... apart from depression and stress due to the ongoing campaign of harrassment, and unfair treatment, from the local police."

Another concern about publishing the complaint in its entirety was that it refered to a number of matters which were not published in the Times-Age.

Yours sincerely,

Heather McCracken

Hello Kate,

It is now two weeks since I sent you the email from the editor, and the deadline of 5 March has passed without any response from you.

If I haven't received your comments by 1.00pm Friday 9 March I will consider that you no longer wish to proceed with the complaint and will advise the Council members accordingly.

Regards,

Mary

7th March 2012: "Oh I most certainly want to proceed with it Mary, and I HAVE responded in part so don't you forget that, and am still waiting for specifics of what part of my candidate profile that I paid $400 for were deemed potentially actionable as you know very well!
Please hurry up and provide it without further delay!!! I provided all the correct information regarding the report under complaint to the WTA and they deliberately ignored it and published these utter lies about my health! Now stop mucking around and tell me what the specific reason was that the profile wasn't published - this is a separate complaint and one forthcoming about the article I have just been made aware of on the Stuff website! More shortly on that!"

"Twelve days? I have had to wait MONTHS for this pathetic and laughable excuse and now you want to give me twelve days to respond, when I have told you I am under pressure to deliver urgently required social services in the community because of all the child abuse and suicide,which is made infinitely harder by the utter claptrap which is printed in the Wairarapa Times-Age.

One thing you can address immediately is the fact that Wairarapa Times-Age are operating a facebook page as an individual instead of a media organisation or local business, which means that they can print all the propaganda and lies they like, while the victims of this cannot comment or defend themselves without sending a "friend request", which is then used by the admins of the page to make malicious complaints to facebook admins regarding "making friend requests to people you don't know".

This is unethical and despicable.

I will respond to this email by within seven days from today's date, which is when I received it. You might have to postpone your meeting."

Wairarapa Police Pervert the Course of Justice While Ignoring Child Abuse:

19 May 2010. The damning report into the systemic failure of the New Zealand Police to investigate child abuse allegations has just been released by the so called Independent Police Complaints Authority. It says what I have been saying since 1996. New Zealand, and the Wairarapa in particular, have absolutely unacceptable rates of child abuse, suicide, violence and other crime.

New Zealand is one of the most dangerous places in the world for a child to grow up. We're building this site because we are sick of listening to journalists facilitate the opinionated chattering of idiots like Georgina Beyer and Christine Rankin, with their little programs and organisations, with little gimmicks like tying white ribbons everywhere and stating the obvious, while they maintain the problem because it keeps them in a job.

I made a complaint of child abuse against a man who came to my home and threatened me several times, finally smashing the door in and seriously assaulted me while horrified witnesses looked on. Corrupt local Constables have refused to charge the attackers in spite of all the evidence, like they refused to charge corrupt local bully Gary McPhee and his mate with the drunken violent home invasion and assault they boasted about in the "news" paper - The Wairarapa Times-Age prints propaganda, not news. We are publishing the truth. Corrupt local Constable Peter Cunningham is now prosecuting me for perverting the course of justice and escaping custody.

These charges follow around thirty or more other charges filed against me by Police since I moved to the Wairarapa and began questioning the so called 'election' of Georgina Beyer, Gary McPhee and others. To date I have been acquitted of 99% of those charges, the remainder are under appeal.

The charges came up before Judge Behrens on 8th December and it was revealed that Constable Laura Rhymer, who will obviously commit perjury if she tries to state on oath the lies in her written statements - exactly like the defended hearings on the five charges arising from the public meeting were thrown out after it became obvious that the officer in charge of the case was going to commit obvious perjury - applied for leave two working days before the trial when she found out that it would be heard by Judge Behrens, QC, who is the same Judge who threw out the five other corruptly laid charges.

Update - Constable Laura Rhymer did attempt to lie in Court during the application for evidence to be accepted without cross examination under the since repealed section 344A of the Crimes Act regarding challenges to the admissibility of evidence.

Corrupt parties then conspired to unlawfully detain me in a high security mental asylum on the grounds that they thought I was 'suffering from Delusional Disorder' for criticising Police, Georgina Beyer, Gary McPhee, etc. The documented treatment plan ordered that I be given no writing materials, was allowed no visitors, mail or phone calls, and staff were forbidden from sending communications from me, photocopying documents, etc. Under these conditions I was expected to prepare my defense on the remaining charge of perverting the course of justice.

I obtained a pen and paper from the other inmates, and wrote a nineteen page application for judicial inquiry under section 84 of the Mental Health Act and the High Court Rules and it was smuggled out and delivered with the assistance of the other inmates.

Suddenly, few days before the trial was due to begin on the charge of perverting the course of justice, the Crown prosecutor announced that the Crown would be offering no evidence against me.

There was never any evidence in the first place.
