APPLICATION FOR JUDICIAL INQUIRY
________________________________________________________





MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

1    In 2003 Police charged me with Bill Sticking, alleging that I had put a notice on the building on High Street Carterton, between Seddon St and Wakelin St, known as the Ron Wakelin building, between certain specified dates, despite the fact that they had received no formal complaint, let alone one from anyone authorised to make one.  They proceeded with a prosecution against me knowing that there was no formal complaint from anyone authorised to make one, there were no grounds to charge me, no grounds to proceed with the prosecution, and knowing that it was against the public interest to lay the charge, and knowing that it was in the public interest to lay charges including fraud and theft against the persons complaining about the alleged Bill Sticking.  A number of lawyers have written to the Police and IPCA regarding these matters and they have stated and provided evidence to the fact that the actions of Police were politically motivated and corrupt, as well as prejudiced and biased.

I request the Court to review the actions of Police regarding the charge of Bill Sticking, and in the context of the campaign of other unfounded charges, and the Police refusal to investigate the serious allegations made by me and my lawyers regarding Georgina Beyer, the Carterton District Council and the Carterton Community Centre. 

There was no formal complaint to Police regarding the bill sticking, and no evidence to support laying the charge.  Laying the charge, proceeding with the prosecution and then not turning up to the hearing were all blatant abuses of the Court process as well as me personally.

This application for review is also about the refusal of Police to investigate formal complaints made against the persons who Police allege were the complainants regarding the Bill Sticking charge.  Police also unlawfully served me with a trespass notice regarding the Carterton Community Centre in an initial effort to interfere in political and civil matters, for which they were later forced to apologise.  These actions were also politically motivated.

Police had a duty to investigate formal complaints regarding the allegations of fraud by the people who complained about the alleged Bill Sticking.  These allegations were the subject of the notice which Police allege I stuck onto the building - there was never any evidence whatsoever that I stuck the notice to the building, the actions of Police were politically motivated, as stated by a number of senior lawyers who have been involved in these matters, and Police deliberately attempted to pervert the course of justice.  Police had a duty to investigate the allegations of fraud which were the subject of the Bill allegedly stuck to the Wakelin Building, they had no grounds whatsoever to charge me for Bill Sticking and they knew it.  There was no evidence to support the charge of Bill Sticking, there is and always was considerable evidence in support of the formal complaints of fraud and theft of the mail etc made by me and others against the persons who complained to Police about the notice calling a public meeting to discuss the fraud at the former Carterton Community Centre, including disgraced former Member of Parliament Georgina Beyer, who was at that time the Patron of the Centre, and who interfered in the Police investigation into these matters in order to avoid prosecution of friends and associates.  Beyer and other local body politicians were among those committing the fraud and theft, and these were the people who complained to Police about the Bill Sticking.

2    A local lawyer, Ken Daniels, wrote to Police several times regarding the facts that I had not admitted to committing the 'crime' of Bill Sticking as Police claimed, that the charge should never succeed, that it could never succeed, and that Police had failed to provide proper disclosure to me, including any evidence of a complaint to Police by anyone, or a copy of the notice Police alleged I stuck on the building.  Mr Daniels also wrote to Police demanding an apology after the charge was dismissed and making a number of formal complaints, all of which Police either ignored or dismissed without giving any credible reasons for the decisions.  There is considerable evidence of a large volume of communication regarding these matters and I am disadvantaged by a lack of resources as a direct result of Police actions including a refusal of Police to provide copies of all information they hold about me despite the assurances of the Privacy Commissioner that the information was available for collection.  Police have refused to provide the information regarding this so called complaint, the so called investigation of the alleged complaint, or the prosecution of the charge, for the simple reason that the information incriminates the Police and their political associates.

3    This application requests a review of the Police decision to prosecute and to proceed with the prosecution, particularly after receiving legal advice that the charge could never succeed.  The context of these actions must be taken into account also - Police should have charged the persons complaining about the alleged Bill Sticking with fraud, theft, making false oaths and declarations and theft of the mail of the Carterton Community Centre Inc, among other things - as confirmed by the numerous letters from senior lawyers - regarding the frauds involving the funds of the Carterton Community Centre and the various 'organisations' acting 'under its umbrella'.  Ample evidence to support such prosecutions of fraud and theft of the mail etc have been provided to Police who continue to refuse to provide any information whatsoever regarding any investigation into the formal complaints of fraud, theft of the mail, etc.

4    Police state the following in response to a request as to whether Police received a complaint regarding the alleged Bill Sticking:  " . . . with regard to the bill sticking, I can confirm that there was a formal complaint from the Postal Service.  However, this was not put to paper and I am not prepared to name the person who complained."  What nonsense!  If the complaint "was not put to paper" it wasn't a formal complaint!  As the accused I have a right to know who made the allegation against me and exactly what it said.  I  and a number of lawyers made formal complaints in writing to Police against the Postal Service and the people associated with the Community Centre and the District Council regarding the fraud and malfeasance, theft of the mail, assaults, etc, Police refused to accept these complaints or investigate them - while they proceeded with a charge of Bill Sticking in the full knowledge that the charge had been corruptly laid.

The letter continues to justify the laying of criminal charges, despite the context of the matters proving otherwise, like the lawyers letters, and this matter is well documented, which is why I have requested all information Police hold about me, because it is extremely incriminating of the Police, which is why they have refused to provide it to date, despite the Privacy Commissioner telling me it was available for collection Police continue to refuse to provide it to this day.

5    The Postal Service had nothing whatsoever to do with the Ron Wakelin building and Police knew it, which is why they withdrew the charge on the day of the hearing, after wasting thousands of dollars of taxpayer's money and public resources on a malicious, vindictive, unfounded, politically motivated prosecution.  Because like the lawyers said, the charge of Bill Sticking was never going to succeed, it was impossible for it to succeed, and Police abused their power and resources in laying the charge and proceeding with it for so long and failed to give any good reason for the officers involved failing to turn up to Court or for withdrawing the charge on the day of the final hearing.  This was a blatant abuse of process and there were a number of abuses of the Court process and abuses of power, and there is clear evidence that this was part of a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice on the part of certain local Police officers and their friends and associates.

6    In addition to this travesty of justice, Police refused to take a complaint of theft of the mail against the Manager of the local Postal Service, Paul Fafieta, after he changed the locks on the Community Centre mail box without lawful authority, thereby preventing the lawful keyholders of the mailbox (myself, the lawfully elected Secretary and Finance Officer) from accessing the mail.  In addition to changing the lock without authority the Postal Service manager provided a key to the new lock to the persons who were the subject of the complaints of fraud and malfeasance involving the Community Centre, the District Council and Georgina Beyer.  The persons to whom the manager provided the key to the mail box had no lawful authority to access the mail of the Carterton Community Centre and the Police had been provided with evidence of that.

7    Police not only refused to investigate the complaint of theft of the mail, they also refused to investigate a number of other related complaints, including a number of complaints of fraud and malfeasance involving persons associated with the Community Centre, the District Council and dishonourable former MP Georgina Beyer - the fact that Beyer has been unable to get a job since 'her' sudden exit from parliament speaks for itself.  The exit from parliament coincided with the widespread release of evidence of Beyer's involvement in these matters.

8    Due to the volume of correspondence regarding these matters, which is an indication in itself of the sheer amount of taxpayers money and public resources that Police have wasted, and the fact that I have no resources to provide numerous copies to the various parties to these proceedings, I would respectfully ask the Court to accept them in the form given, which is in electronic form, by way of a hyperlink to each annexed document refered to in this application.

9    The context of the laying of the charge of Bill Sticking is that after having very little to do with Police for most of my life, I suddenly became the target for certain local Police officers who began harassing me and laying a number of unfounded charges against me which were maliciously laid rather than laid in good faith.  Police knew perfectly well that I hadn't committed the alleged crimes most of the time, and the rest of the time, as with the Bill Sticking, they just took a gamble, and treated the matter as if it was - and is - a game.  Police have demonstrated prejudice and bias to the degree where it clearly reaches the standard of perverting the course of justice deliberately.  The Information laid against me stated that Police had just cause to suspect that I had committed a criminal offence when Police knew that was untrue, and there have been a number of similar instances of this blatant corruption.

In addition to the complaints of theft of the mail, Police received several formal complaints regarding fraud assault, and other criminal malfeasance, such as making false oaths and declarations, etc, involving the persons involved with the Carterton Community Centre and the District Council.  Police refused to investigate the complaints made by me or the lawyers who supported me, and instead launched extensive investigations into any and allegations against me - including an allegation of Bill Sticking involving the Ron Wakelin building which had nothing whatsoever to do with "the Postal Service" despite the statements of Police.  This is well documented.

It cost me a considerable amount of time and money as a direct result of the charges Police laid against me and I request the Court grant relief, and take into consideration the repeated denials of Police regarding the numerous complaints regarding the matter.  I was not charged with affixing a "Bill" to the Post Office building I was charged with allegedly affixing it to the Ron Wakelin building and there was no evidence whatsoever that I affixed any notice anywhere which is why Police failed to turn up to the hearing.

10     Complaints to the Police and IPCA are delayed, denied, defered, and 'disposed of'.  The excuses given by Police and IPCA in response to complaints regarding these matters are simply not credible and they are evidence of serious dysfunction and corruption involving local Police officers, and a failure to adequately deal with complaints by Police or the IPCA, or PCA as the organisation was known. 

11    Police continue this campaign of persecution against me, and more general dysfunction and outright corruption, to this day, refusing to charge offenders with assaulting me, burglary and theft, etc, recently.  I intend to have these matters reviewed further, but this application is for a review of the decision of the Police to charge me with Bill Sticking, review of the various decisions to proceed with the matter, which amounted to abuse of the Court process, abuse of power acting without lawful authority, negligence, and perverting the course of justice deliberately, and the decision of Police, including the officer in charge of the case or the alleged, non existent,  complainant or witnesses to not attend Court on the day of the hearing.

12    Among the various correspondence from lawyers to Police and other relevant information are the following: 

"I am pleased at the dismissal of the charges against you it is clear that a number of charges should never have been laid."  "Never had responses to a lot of things."  "It is clear you have been a lightning rod for Police attention"  - Ken Daniels
Reveal basis for charges - further evidence of repeated laying of unfounded charges.
"It is clear that these actions were politically motivated"  - Michael Appleby


13     After Police refused to accept, acknowledge or investigate a number of formal complaints of serious criminal offending involving local 'elected' officials and public servants, a member of parliament and several persons associated with the local District Council, Police decided instead to lay a complaint against me of Bill Sticking in regard to a notice allegedly stuck to the Ron Wakelin building between certain dates, knowing that there was no evidence whatsoever of any authorised complaint.  Furthermore, Police were interfering in civil matters - I was told by the officer in charge of the case that he was arresting me for defamation - until I explained to him that definition is a civil matter.  Whereupon Police wrote to me alleging that the notices amounted to "harassment of two individuals" but refused to name the individuals. 

14    Further context to the Bill Sticking charge is as follows:  On 8 May 2001 a complaint was made to Police by lawyer Mark Hinton of Wollerman Cooke and McClure.  On 11 June 2001 Police wrote to my lawyer, Kamil Lakshman, advising that they had established that the complaint of Wollerman Cooke and McClure was unfounded and I had not committed any crime.

15    The wife of the Manager of the Postal Service is none other than Colleen Fafieta, and she has long been emloyed at Wollerman Cooke and McClure, which raises the further issue of a conflict of interest in that regard.  Paul and Colleen Fafieta are friends and associates of the persons associated with the Community Centre and the District Council, as are many of the lawyers at Wollerman Cooke and McClure, who were the Community Centre's lawyers, and who should have been taking instruction from me, as the remaining executive member of the committee, holding the lawful positions of Secretary and Finance Officer, not persons who were not even on the committee and who were clearly committing fraud and lying.  Several of the Police officers involved in these matters also had conflicts of interest in that they were friends and associates of the alleged complainants and had friendships and relationships with them of many years, which is one of the problems in small communities where some Police officers have conflicts of interests involving their friends and associates which are not managed or addressed and which seriously affect their decision making as is clearly the case regarding these matters.

16    Police alleged I stuck a notice to the Ron Wakelin building, following the illegal takeover of the Carterton Community Centre after I was punched in the face by the chairman of the committee in response to legitimate inquiries into several fraudulent financial transactions involving persons associated with the Centre and with the District Council.  These inquiries were the subject of at least two community petitions calling for the books to be audited and several formal complaints to Police by me and several lawyers.  Police refused to accept the complaints or record them or investigate the allegations or acknowledge the indisputable evidence.  Police wrote a letter claiming that because Georgina Beyer and members of the Carterton District Council had discussed the matters Police believed no offences had been committed - as if Beyer and the Council were above the law somehow.

17    Police were forced to charge the chairman of the committee with assault after staff at the Medical Centre next to the Community Centre, where the assault took place, called Police and confirmed that I had two teeth broken in the assault.  Despite this serious injury, Police let the offender off with Police Diversion scheme, after lying to the Court and telling the Court the offender had written an apology - the offender was boasting about the assault and about the fact that Police were going to ensure he got off without even a conviction - while Police charged me with Bill Sticking for calling for a meeting to discuss these matters.

18     Also around this time Police were refusing to charge Mayor Gary McPhee and his associate, a Council employee, for the violent drunken home invasion of a local residence and assault on the occupants and witnesses to the attack.  Police also allowed and in fact encouraged McPhee to interfere with witnesses and offer bribes to the victims and thinly veiled threats amounting to blackmail in order to prevent the escalation of the complaints about the attack.  Police refused to provide information about this matter and refused to charge the offender, claiming that there had been no complaints, which was and is emphatically refuted by the victims and witnesses including me - I witnessed the attack, I made a formal complaint to Police and I witnessed the other occupants of the flat making formal complaints which Police refused to record.

19    The notice Police finally provided to the Court, the notice for which I was charged with Bill Sticking, advertised a public meeting to discuss the fraud and mismanagement at the Community Centre and to obtain a mandate from the community regarding the illegal takeover of the Centre by the people who had committed the fraud, assault and other offences.  Police didn't turn up to Court on the day of the hearing because they knew perfectly well that not only would the charge of Bill Sticking never succeed, but it was very likely that comment would be made by the Judge as to why the Police were charging the Finance Officer and Secretary of the Centre with Bill Sticking for calling a meeting after being assaulted and locked out of the Centre unlawfully after reporting the fraud etc to the Police, instead of charging the people who were committing the assaults, fraud, etc.  The evidence of the fraud is clear and indisputable and it is completely unacceptable that no action has been taken regarding this ongoing dysfunction and corruption involving local Police, and it is completely unacceptable that this corrupt campaign to discredit a political candidate by laying false charges against them and protect their favoured politicians by refusing to charge them and making comments to the media infering that the victims of violence are criminals and the perpetrators of the violence are heroes.

20    After lawyer Ken Daniels wrote to Police requesting an apology regarding the matter, Police responded with the attached correspondence, which is an insult to the intelligence.  It clearly shows that senior officers continue to be in denial regarding the true facts of the matter, it is not an apology at all - it indicates that the writer continues to be under the delusional belief that if the officers and their witnesses had turned up to Court the charge would have succeeded which is complete and utter rubbish!  The Court would have quickly established that the Postal Service had nothing whatsoever to do with the Ron Wakelin building and that the wife of the manager of the Postal Service was employed by Wollerman Cooke and McClure who were corruptly taking instruction from persons who had no authority to instruct them regarding the affairs of the Centre and who were clearly guilty of fraud involving the Centre's many bank accounts.  This correspondence also alludes to the "ongoing animosity between you and other people associated with the Carterton Community Centre."  "It was one we very much wanted to prove"  "disappointed in the officers concerned" shows a need for urgent review of the Police - prioritising Bill Sticking over allegations of serious fraud involving a member of parliament and persons associated with the local District Council and other persons, fraud involving charity funding and government funding, and at the same time as Police were perfectly happy to grant the man who punched me in the face in response to legitimate enquiries regarding the fraud and smashed two of my teeth - Police Diversion.  Very much wanted to prove Bill Sticking, but happy to let a violent bully commit an aggravated assault causing grievous bodily harm get away without conviction.  Happy to ignore serious fraud, but very much want to prove a charge of Bill Sticking that never stood any chance of succeeding which was obvious to anyone including the Court.

21    The actions of Police have been politically motivated, as lawyers have previously stated, and the evidence of this is now indisputable.  Letters from R Drew and Georgina Beyer are damning and it is in the public interest that these matters are reviewed without further delay.

22    The delays in applying for review are twofold:  Firstly the refusal of Police to provide information required in order to accurately formulate the complaints, combined with the campaign of false charges against me, charges laid without foundation or evidence to support them and laid vexatiously and maliciously, charges which are invariably either withdrawn or dismissed, this has occupied a considerable amount of time as I have invariably had to defend myself against these charges.  Secondly the refusal of lawyers to assist based on the fact that I can not pay them - I am now unemployed because Police are telling lies to my employers and others in the community, and since the illegal takeover and closure of the Community Centre people who are unemployed can't access resources required to compose legal claims and collate the supporting evidence.  The local Community Law Centre manager is extremely unhelpful and lawyers such as Dr Tony Ellis can no longer act for clients who are not in a postition to pay, the decision regarding the matter of the Criminal Bar Association v The Attorney General recognised that changes to legislation have disadvantaged certain persons accessing sufficient legal aid.  This has been also exacerbated by systemic failure of public institutions such as the Privacy Commissioner and the Office of the Ombudsmen to deal effectively with these matters.  Police are also refusing to do anything about my formal complaints regarding assault and intimidation against me at the address where I formerly lived, and where much of my property remains, including evidence regarding these matters such as the documents attached to this application, which I have only been able to access recently by recovering a computer drive with scanned copies of the evidence on. 

23    There was no evidence against me to support a charge of Bill Sticking, there was not even a valid or formal complaint - the Postal Service had nothing whatsoever to do with the building which Police alleged I stuck the notice onto, and Police knew it.  Police refuse to accept this despite the indisputable evidence.

24    There was indisputably sufficient evidence to charge the manager of the Postal Service with theft of the mail, and sufficient evidence to charge persons associated with the Carterton Community Centre Inc with fraud and theft, as a number of lawyers have confirmed.  Police refuse to accept this despite the indisputable evidence.

25    There was no evidence to support a charge of Bill Sticking against me and there was no valid complaint - the actions of Police are politically motivated and indisputably corrupt.

Dear Sirs,

I have been charged with “billsticking” by the Police, and intend defending the charge. At my first Court appearance the duty solicitor asked the Police for full disclosure by Police concerning my case (on my behalf) and I was provided with a few pages. When I got home I realised that there was no copy of the notice I am alleged to have stuck, and no evidence of the complaint Constable Cunningham had referred to, no photocopy from his notebook, etc, so I rang your office to check that I had been provided with everything I was entitled to, and was told that everything had been provided to me.

At my second appearance the duty solicitor noted that indeed the disclosure did not appear to be complete, and I rang your office again and went through what had been provided to me page by page over the phone and again was told that was all the material.

Mr Ken Daniels, who was the duty solicitor, then wrote to your office asking for the information and you provided additional information, which you had not supplied to me, and had indeed denied the existence of.

This is totally unacceptable, please provide me with all the information immediately as you should have done in the first place, and then explain why you didn’t provide it when I first requested it, and why you denied it even existed the second time I requested it.

People are entitled to justice whether they have a solicitor or not. Our precious community resources are being wasted with this malicious prosecution and continuing corruption within the Carterton Police and the ineptitude of the Masterton Prosecutions section. I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that I am still waiting for Mr Feinson to apologise to me and pay reparation for the damage caused when he assaulted me and you let him off with diversion, and lied to me and the Judge.

Why don’t you read the legislation properly for once before advising victims to just rise above it and seek reparation in the civil court, because the way I read the Accident Insurance Regulations this course of action would be a waste of time and money (no wonder the Police thought of it).

The Carterton Police have also consistently refused to properly investigate serious allegations of fraud, theft, obtaining funds by false pretence, pecuniary gain, forgery utterance, making a false declaration, theft of mail, etc, allegations which are backed up by a large petition and supported by the majority of the community. They have instead chosen to harass me, serve me with illegal trespass notices, investigate blatantly false complaints against me causing extreme humiliation and distress, culminating in this pathetic charge – laid under the Summary Offences Act to ensure I don’t get legal aid to defend it. The whole community is watching the Carterton Police with utter disgust. Oh, apart from John Crawford’s cowardly little group of supporters.

I have had no response to letters to the Police of: 8.12.02, 23.7.03, 29.9.03, 21.10.03, 5.11.03 or 6.11.03. Why is this?

One of these letters contained a request for the names of the two people who have complained to the Police of harassment by me, and I repeat the request, who are they?

I repeat the complaints against John Crawford and the group of people claiming to represent the Carterton Community Centre, complaints of theft and unlawful possession of the property of that incorporated society, and the other complaints against this group which I have previously made, which are supported by a growing petition. The Companies Office confirmed recently that Mr Crawford has less than fifteen supporters while I clearly had the unequivocal support of the community at the last legally held meeting (18 April 01), and I clearly have it still because hundreds of people have now signed the petition calling for a proper inquiry into these serious crimes and the Police are making fools of themselves in our town and it is no wonder there is no respect for the Police in Carterton and people want to burn down the Police station, I note Mr Koers letter printed in the paper recently said “I don’t trust some Police officers” – neither do most people in Carterton that know what’s going on. Encouragingly, more and more are taking an interest all the time.
Yours sincerely,

Kate Raue.

Dear Sir
    Re: Katherine Raue
    There have been numerous items of correspondence written between Kate Raue and yourself and correspondence with the Police Complaints Authority over a number of issues that she has raised in recent times.

    I must confess that I have not given what I believe was sufficient attention to some of the matters that Kate Raue had raised with me in the past mainly I suspect because the matters appeared to be far too complex and involved and I tended not to see any relevance in some of the complaints that she was making.

    On a recent visit to me however and after spending some time looking at documentary evidence that she showed me, I largely changed my view and believe that there genuinely are matters of concern that do need to be investigated.

    I have not got to the bottom of all the matters Kate Raue complains about but there is one instance that does seem to suggest that there has been fraud at the Carterton Community Centre which has diverted funds designed for one purpose deliberately to another.

    I enclose with this letter a copy of the accounts which appear to represent income and expenditure from the Carterton Community Centre for the financial year 01 April 2000 to 31 March 2001 as they related to the Community Gardens. You will notice how in the income received, there was a sum of $9,000 received from the Tindall Foundation. It is assumed that this money was received following an application for a grant from that Charitable Foundation. The monies would have been requested and received for purposes relating to the Community Gardens in Carterton. The sum of $9,000 was received in April of 2000.

    The following month in May there was a payment of $6,000.00 paid from the Community Gardens account for a personal grievance payment. The information that apparently exists although I have not personally seen it is that there were insufficient funds to pay a personal grievance from the Community Gardens and the funding that was obtained from the Tindall Foundation was immediately paid out as at least part payment on that personal grievance. The payment apparently could not be made at an earlier stage and the fundng received from Tindall Foundation was a necessary receipt to enable the payment to be made to settle the personal grievance.

    If the above set of circumstances is accurate then there is no doubt whatsoever that there was a fraudulent use of the monies received from the Tindall Foundation. There had been no budgeted allowance made for personal grievances. This can be seen from the budget column in the expenditure part of the accounts where an amount of only $220 was allowed for the twelve months involved. A payment of $6000 was needed and this was paid directly from the charitable donation.

    I believe that the affairs of the Carterton Community Centre are in disarray. There is currently an application before the High Court to have them wound up because of insufficient numbers. There are numerous other complaints as well about the way in which members of the public including members were excluded from meetings etc. This letter does not purport to address all those issues but I am deeply concerned after having seen the information supplied to me by Kate Raue that monies received for one purpose be used for an incorrect purpose.

    I have been advised that a similar improper payment may have been made in respect of the account that was run for the disadvantaged members of the community. This apparently exists under the copy of the account also enclosed which is headed up VOSP 2000 – 2001. You will see also that there is a “miscellaneous” payment of $1,000.00 made in September of 2000 following receipt of a substantial amount fromWINZ funding. It is understood that this also was a payment to an individual who claimed to have a personal grievance.

    I am not an accountant (as will be obvious) but I believe there are sufficient genuine concerns raised here to warrant some investigation. These are community funds which were largely received from charitable donations which appear to have been siphoned off improperly.
    I should add that according to Kate Raue there was possibly legal advice given to the people running the Carterton Community Centre that they should not make personal greivance payments in the way that they did. This is another matter that may need to be looked into because it would make the payments even less appropriate if they were done contrary to legal advice.

    I appreciate the fact that earlier complaints may have been thought to be ill-founded or frivolous or for whatever reason were not properly investigated but I believe that there actually does exist hard evidence to suggest that a reopening of the investigation should be made with urgency. As I have said the Community Centre and its funds are currently subject to a High Court Application.

    If it is more convenient for you to do so I would be happy to act as a go-between between yourselves and Kate Raue so that I can request further details from her.
    Are you able to assist with what I believe is now a genuine complaint?
    

Yours faithfully
    Ken Daniels


Police simply ignored these complaints.  Here is the blatantly arrogant and corrupt response from the area commander -

Crown gives up the ghost:

The Crown has given up the ghost of the unlikely chance it had of ever succeeding with the charge of Perverting the Course of Justice which corrupt police officers conspired to lay in the first place, and proceed with, after the joined indictment of Escaping From Custody was thrown out last September.

 It is over two years since I was charged with the offences, after a remarkable sequence of events. The campaign of harassment and corrupt and malicious prosecution against me by the Wairarapa police (in collusion with various other people) has cost the New Zealand tax payers a small fortune in monetary terms, but the greatest cost by far has been the damage to the integrity of the justice system and the New Zealand police.

Not to mention the chilling and shocking insight into the New Zealand mental health system, and how it's used to silence critics of the so called 'justice' system!

After over two years of these corrupt prosecutions the Crown filed a memorandum in the Court dated 15 June 2011 stating that they proposed calling no evidence against me. They had no evidence to offer from the moment the charges were laid. The events of the last five months have been a chilling revelation into mental health services and the justice system in New Zealand these days.

Five months ago, on the 4th March, I was arrested at my home by Constables Paul Dallinger and Mia Wilton, who took obvious delight in pushing me around, handcuffing me, groping me, etc, during the "arrest". When we got to the Masterton police station they told me that the Judge had gone home (a Friday, just after midday) and I'd have to stay in the police station cells overnight. They alleged that I had breached Court bail by not going to psychiatric appointments and Court. I told them what I told Judge Barry only a week or so earlier: After the initial psychiatric assessment had been in Masterton (which I had attended, with Dr Justin Barry-Walsh) I then received two letters advising me of two other appointments in Porirua. I am unemployed, since the police lied to the school I worked at and told the most outrageous lies (police told the school that they'd "recently charged me with an offence involving a child", etc) and I certainly cannot afford to travel to Porirua - twice.

WINZ refused to assist me with an application for (a recoverable grant of) financial assistance on the following grounds:
"Work and Income can not be seen to assist people who do not abide by the law"! 
 So much for being innocent until found guilty. Judge Barry agreed with me that this was unacceptable because the appointments should have been made in Masterton in the first place like the initial appointment, which I had attended. I understood that my attendance at the minor Court fixture had been excused pending the reports being completed, it certainly should have been.

My doctor had written police and the Court letters attesting to the serious effect that this campaign of bullying and harassment was having on my physical and mental health. I was regularly suffering depression and claustrophobia from all the hours I was forced to spend sitting in cells, Courts, etc, one letter particularly asked that my attendance be excused if possible and that I not be locked in cells unnecessarily.

The Police Complaints Authority has already upheld previous complaints about the brutal, sadistic and corrupt actions of the Wairarapa police towards me.

I was finally brought before Judge Davidson in the Wellington Court on Tuesday 8th March after being taken to the Court on the Monday, but being sent back to Arohata Prison because the amicus curiae, Bryan Yeoman, hadn't turned up to Court. While waiting in the horrible graffiti covered, filthy cells that feel like medieval dungeons, in came a woman who introduced herself as Sally Rimkeit. This woman (Brenda Sally Rimkeit) wrote a certificate for the Court that in her opinion I needed to be held in custody to have two psychiatric reports completed to determine whether I was fit to stand trial or whether I was insane. On the basis of her opinion I was remanded to a maximum security psychiatric institution, almost all of the other women (there were men there too, but I got to know the women better) patients were serving custodial sentences for convictions of murder, or attempted murder, but they were LOVELY ladies, and it was a very enlightening experience indeed and I count some of the people who I met while I went through that experience among my dearest friends now).

I was detained there for months, forcibly and unnecessarily drugged with serious heavy duty antipsychotic medication, and witnessed, and personally suffered, absolutely appalling 'treatment' at the hands of people, some of whom were WAY more deluded than I am, all at the expense of the good old New Zealand taxpayer. At our first meeting (on 8 March) she told me that she had only recently qualified as a forensic psychiatrist

In her report dated 22 March (after two weeks of 'treatment') "Dr" Rimkeit makes the following statement under the heading "Assessment of fitness to stand trial:"
"It is my opinion (and that of forensic psychiatrist Dr Jacqueline Short, currently my acting supervisor) that Ms Raue is unfit to stand trial. She currently has a mental impairment which is Delusional Disorder. Ms Raue has stated on a number of occasions during this assessment period that she feels capable of representing and defending herself against the current charges. She has suggested that her main line of defence is that the charges are the result of corrupt acts by certain parties and that she will name these parties in Court. My concern is that if she proceeds to represent herself at Court she may, through her delusional belief system, falsely accuse certain parties of wrongdoing."

What?!!! I am the one falsely accused, and fully intended to call a witness who will swear on oath that they heard Aaron Brook boasting that Gary McPhee (ex Mayor and drunken bully) paid him money to lie in Court against me, I am perfectly entitled to do this, and it would have most definitely been in the public interest and in the interests of justice for the jury to decide that, not Brenda Silly Rimkeit! It is completely outrageous that a serious criminal trial can be aborted like this because of the mumbo jumbo of mad women like this and malicious doctors like Safarti, who knew perfectly well that I was not delusional, not a danger to myself or anyone else, perfectly well able to care for myself and not suffering from any major mental illness and probably not any minor one either for that matter unless you count depression and situational claustrophobia.

Furthermore, a number of psychiatrists did not share Rimkeit's delusions, Dr Justin Barry-Walsh wrote:
"Her account included a number of persecutory ideas. However on balance, considering her ideas and reviewing the other materials, I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions." He also says "I would further observe the litigious quality to her presentation means that she has an exaggerated intellectual understanding of court process and would be well capable of following legal process and both entering a plea and instructing a lawyer."

Dr Judson's report of 13 June 2011 says:  
"Ms Raue presented as pleasant, polite, well groomed and looked physically quite healthy and relaxed." "Her manner was pleasant and quite relaxed throughout the interview and she showed no evidence of any pressure in her thinking. Her speech, while a little speeded at times, was not noticeably pressured and her thought processes were logical and rational throughout the period of the interview. We spent some time discussing the issues of the court, the charges and her intended defence. She was able to explain clearly and rationally the way in which she intends to defend herself against the charge and remained focused on this throughout, without introducing any extraneous or irrelevant material and without displaying any paranoid thought processes in relation to the charges." "Her understanding of the legal issues is very good and she has the ability to formulate and enter a plea and to follow all the matters pertinent to the court." "Overall my impression is that she will be able to interact successfully with the court for the purpose of conducting her defence. In my opinion she is fit to stand trial."  
This makes an utter mockery of Rimkeit's comments and of the Crown memorandum. The Crown never had any intention of allowing this matter to go to trial because they knew perfectly well that it was an orchestrated litany of lies cobbled together in a pathetic attempt to pervert the course of justice by the Wairarapa police, professional leech Bryan Yeoman (there's a link on this site to the Legal Services website showing how much money he's been paid for his "services" and others.

Constable Laura Rhymer lied, fabricated evidence and committed perjury, falsely charging me with offences which she knew perfectly well I hadn't committed. She conspired with other corrupt Wairarapa police officers to conceal serious violent crimes and instead pursue a vindictive campaign of corrupt harassment against the victim of the crimes. I have already been acquitted of the joined count of Escaping From Custody which was thrown out after Crown Prosecutor Ms Andrea Ewing had the good sense (last September) to agree that was the proper thing to do.

If the trial had gone ahead the extent of the police corruption would have been revealed and proven, it is an outrageous miscarriage of justice that the trial has been aborted, and the reasons given by the Crown prosecutor are a pathetic load of claptrap.

These actions were a direct attempt to shut me up for raising awareness and taking action regarding the plague of systemic child abuse in the Wairarapa and the policy of local police who have been covering it up and enabling the abusers, reabusing the victims and the subsequent epidemic of suicide.

Read the Crown memorandum, and the full story, at this link.

Then read the correspondence from the IPCA - and the blatant and deliberate refusal to acknowledge - let alone investigate - serious complaints from senior lawyers about these matters.

The Police Complaints Authority has already upheld a previous complaint about the brutal, sadistic and corrupt actions of the Wairarapa police towards me.

I was finally brought before Judge Davidson in the Wellington Court on Tuesday 8th March after being taken to the Court on the Monday, but being sent back to Arohata Prison because the amicus curiae, Bryan Yeoman, hadn't turned up to Court.  While waiting in the horrible graffiti covered, filthy cells that feel like medieval dungeons, in came a woman who introduced herself as Sally Rimkeit.  This woman (Brenda Sally Rimkeit) wrote a certificate for the Court that in her opinion I needed to be held in custody to have two more psychiatric reports completed to determine whether I was fit to stand trial or whether I was insane.  On the basis of her opinion I was remanded to a medium security psychiatric institution, with people who had been found guilty of murder, etc). I was detained there for months, forcibly drugged with serious heavy duty antipsychotic medication, and witnessed, and personally suffered, absolutely appalling 'treatment' at the hands of people, some of whom were WAY more deluded than I have ever been, all at the expense of the good old New Zealand taxpayer.  At our first meeting (on 8 March) Rimkeit told me that she had only recently qualified as a forensic psychiatrist, and was still acting under supervision.  In her last report to the Court she advises that she will no longer be practicing forensic psychiatry.  Here's why she should be charged with contempt of Court:

In her report dated 22 March (after two weeks of 'treatment') "Dr" Rimkeit makes the following statement under the heading "Assessment of fitness to stand trial:"
"It is my opinion (and that of forensic psychiatrist Dr Jacqueline Short, currently my acting supervisor) that Ms Raue is unfit to stand trial.  She currently has a mental impairment which is Delusional Disorder.  Ms Raue has stated on a number of occasions during this assessment period that she feels capable of representing and defending herself against the current charges.  She has suggested that her main line of defence is that the charges are the result of corrupt acts by certain parties and that she will name these parties in Court.  My concern is that if she proceeds to represent herself at Court she may, through her delusional belief system, falsely accuse certain parties of wrongdoing."  
What?!!!  I am the one falsely accused, and I fully intended to call a witness who will swear on oath that they heard Aaron Brook boasting that Gary McPhee (ex Mayor and drunken bully) paid him money to lie in Court against me, I am perfectly entitled to do this, and it would have most definitely been in the public interest and in the interests of justice for the jury to decide that, not Brenda Silly Rimkeit!  It is completely outrageous that a serious criminal trial can be aborted like this because of the mumbo jumbo of mad women like this and malicious doctors like Safarti, who knew perfectly well that I was not delusional, not a danger to myself or anyone else, perfectly well able to care for myself and not suffering from any major mental illness, and probably not any minor one either for that matter, unless you count depression and situational claustrophobia.

So Dr Barry-Walsh wrote that I suffered no psychiatric illness and in particular I was not delusional on 4th March, the day of my arrest, but after two weeks of "Dr" Rimkeit's "medicine" I was suddenly seriously delusional? 

Constable Laura Rhymer lied, fabricated evidence and committed perjury, falsely charging me with offences which she knew perfectly well I hadn't committed.  She conspired with Constable Peter Cletus Cunningham and other corrupt Wairarapa police officers to conceal serious violent crimes and instead pursue a vindictive campaign of corrupt harassment against the victim of the crimes.  I have already been acquitted of the joined count of Escaping From Custody which was thrown out after Crown Prosecutor Ms Andrea Ewing had the good sense (last September) to agree that was the proper thing to do.

If the trial had gone ahead the extent of the police corruption would have been revealed and proven, it is an outrageous miscarriage of justice that the trial has been aborted, and the reasons given by the Crown prosecutor are a pathetic load of claptrap.

The charge of Perverting the Course of Justice was set down for a pre trial hearing on 28 June 2011.  The jury trial was to begin on July 4th, set down for three days, but suddenly, on 22nd June I was summoned to the Wellington Court to address the matter of the following Crown memorandum dated 15 June:  My comments, quotes from Court reports, etc, are in italics:
___________________________________________
IN THE DISTRICT COURT AT WELLINGTON                     CRI 2009-035-0805
                                                               THE QUEEN v KATHERINE RAUE
MEMORANDUM OF THE CROWN:       Presented for filing by GJ Burston, Crown Solicitor
MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT
1.      Katherine Raue is charged with one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice.  The offending is alleged to have occurred in April 2009.
KR: No, I had been charged with two counts, joined into one indictment by Judge Behrens QC, and I had already been acquitted of the count of Escaping From Custody after Constable Laura Rhymer gave perjurous evidence in the Wellington District Court.

2.      A trial is set to proceed on 5 July 2011.
ALLEGED FACTS (sic)
3.      It is alleged that Ms Raue went to her neighbours and told them to tell police that she had seen a man by the name of Michael Murphy outside the front of her house.  Ms Raue then rang police and made a statement to police saying that her house had been burgled.  Ms Raue advised police that her neighbours had seen Michael Murphy outside the front of her house at the time of the alleged burglary.
KR: No, FIRST I rang police and reported the burglary by Murphy of the evidence of his earlier crime (- which was witnessed by THREE other people), and THEN the neighbours came over to my house and volunteered the information that they'd seen Murphy driving his car very near my house at the same time I'd reported him being here.  I was correct in advising police that the neighbours had seen Murphy very near my house at the time of the alleged burglary.  The neighbours have consistently stated that fact repeatedly.  
4.      Police spoke to Ms Raue's neighbours, they gave a statement to police and shortly after that they retracted their statement.  The neighbours claimed that they had not seen Michael Murphy outside the front of Ms Raue's house, instead they told police that they had on instruction from Ms Raue told police that they had.
KR: This is the most outrageous lie of all.  The neighbours have consistently told police that they saw Murphy driving his car in the near vicinity of the front of my house at the date and time I had earlier reported the burglary.   Below is a copy of the Disclosure list, and it can clearly be seen that there was no statement of 8 April in existence.  There is a link at this post to the relevant pages of Constable Rhymer's notebook, in which she wrote my statement at 18:30 hours on the 8th April, then we are supposed to believe that she took a statement from Aaron Brook but wrote it by hand on a couple of bits of unlined A4 paper instead of in her notebook.  

She is lying.  Her oral evidence at the Depositions hearing makes that crystal clear.  She also tried to withhold pages of the notebook,  Lawyer Ken Daniels has noted in the margin that there are pages missing, and noted the discrepancies in the Disclosure on this list as well.  The evidence is just not credible no matter which way you look at it and that's all there is to it.  There are a number of other serious discrepancies in the witness statements also, which will come out in due course.  The list of disclosure which is annotated by my lawyer, Ken Daniels, shows only ONE statement from Aaron Brook - this same disclosure, and list, was also supplied to another lawyer involved (Frank Minehan) - Laura Rhymer lied in Court and tried at the last minute to produce another statement during the hearing, but she failed to convince the Judge or the prosecutor or anyone else, and that is why the charges were thrown out - after an application BY THE PROSECUTOR to have them thrown out.  And good on the prosecutor that day, Ms Andrea Ewing, who had the good sense and moral courage to stop wasting the Court's time pursuing Constable Rhymer's corrupt prosecution which was a travesty of justice and a blatant attempt to pervert the course of justice, and make the application to have the charge dismissed instead.  I hope Ms Ewing has a long and illustrious career in law and never loses her good sense and moral courage.

5.      Ms Raue was charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice on the basis of the false statement she made to police.
KR: I didn't make any false statement to police.  Constable Rhymer committed perjury in the Court.  I was the victim of a violent home invasion, and a burglary to get rid of the evidence, the computer disk with the recordings of the witnesses phone calls to emergency services, and the information regarding the serious breach of the Privacy Act by Police.
Police deliberately falsely charged me on the basis of corruptly formulated "evidence" which was never going to stand up to scrutiny in the first place, which is why the police are now advising the Court they do not intend to produce any evidence at trial, because there never was any evidence.  The Depositions Evidence is a joke, and the matter should never have got past the Depositions hearing.  There should be an investigation into the two JP's who allowed the matter to proceed through the Court - their job is to weed out cases like this!  Back to the Crown memorandum:

CURRENT SITUATION
Ms Raue's mental health:
6.      On 23 November 2010, pursuant to the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act 2003 ("CP(MIP) Act") the Court ordered two assessment reports be provided to the Court by 22 March 2011 to assist in determining whether Ms Raue was fit to stand trial and/or whether she was insane. 

7.      Ms Raue failed to answer her requisite appointments with psychiatrists.
KR: I certainly did attend appointments.  In November 2009 Dr Barry-Walsh wrote a report after one such appointment which I went to considerable trouble to attend, having to bicycle from Carterton to Masterton in the rain to do so.  In this report, Dr Barry-Walsh wrote: "Ms Raue displayed marked distress, reported low mood and appeared depressed.  She was pressured on interview and gave a digressive and detailed account of herself.  She was emotional."  (Anyone would have been, under the circumstances.) "Her account included a number of persecutory ideas.  However on balance considering her ideas and reviewing the other materials, I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions."  

He also says "I would further observe the litigious quality to her presentation means that she has an exaggerated intellectual understanding of court process and would be well capable of following legal process and both entering a plea and instructing a lawyer."  

Another psychiatrist also wrote the following: "Ms Raue presented as pleasant, polite, well groomed and looked physically quite healthy and relaxed."  "Her manner was pleasant and quite relaxed throughout the interview and she showed no evidence of any pressure in her thinking. Her speech, while a little speeded at times, was not noticeably pressured and her thought processes were logical and rational throughout the period of the interview.  

We spent some time discussing the issues of the court, the charges and her intended defence.  She was able to explain clearly and rationally the way in which she intends to defend herself against the charge and remained focused on this throughout, without introducing any extraneous or irrelevant material and without displaying any paranoid thought processes in relation to the charges."  "Her understanding of the legal issues is very good and she has the ability to formulate and enter a plea and to follow all the matters pertinent to the court."  

"Overall my impression is that the degree of improvement that we are now seeing suggests that she will be able to interact successfully with the court for the purpose of conducting her defence.  In my opinion she is now fit to stand trial."  This makes an utter mockery of the Crown memorandum, which was written two days after this report was, apparently.

Another very relevant point is the outrageous decision of the Ministry of Social Development.  As I am an 'invalid' (according to them), I applied to MSD for assistance with travel expenses to get to the two subsequent appointments I was advised to attend IN PORIRUA, after Bryan Yeoman succeeded in wasting the time of the Court by saying Dr Barry-Walsh's report was outdated and I needed to get two more done.  The appointments should have been made in Masterton like the first one was!  The decision of the Ministry of Social Development was: 
"The application is denied.  Work and Income cannot be seen to assist people who do not abide by the law."  
What an outrageous breach of the New Zealand Bill of Rights!  A person is innocent until proven guilty!

8.      On 8 March 2011, Judge Davidson ordered that Ms Raue be detained pursuant to section 38 (2) (c) (ii) of the CP(MIP) Act.  He directed that two reports be provided to the Court by 22 March 2011 to determine whether Ms Raue was fit to stand trial and/or whether she was insane.
Yes, but only after Constable Peter Cunningham lied about a non existent pattern of making complaints about police, or having involvement with police, "when she previously lived in Wellington."  I had next to nothing to do with police when I lived in Wellington and Cunningham's statements are an orchestrated litany of lies, like the rest of the case for the prosecution, and after the Court staff and local police had a meeting and declared "Everyone agrees she's a bit marginal" - the Court registrar and police prosecutor cheated on their spouses and shacked up together and regularly conspire to pervert the course of justice in the Masterton Court, as everyone knows.
9.      Ms Raue was admitted to the Rangipapa Unit on Tuesday 8 March 2011.
KR: On the 4th March 2011 Dr Barry-Walsh, who had previously written "I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions" wrote another report saying: "I could find no evidence on an albeit brief assessment that there had been any change in her underlying psychiatric state from my previous assessment".  I was only admitted to Rangipapa because of the corrupt actions of Brenda Sally Rimkeit, Bryan Yeoman, and District Court Judge Bruce Davidson, on the 8th March.

10.     On 12 March 2011, while committed to hospital pursuant to the CP(MIP) Act, Ms Raue's mental health declined.  She was provided with compulsory assessment and treatment pursuant to section 13 of the Mental Health Act (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1932 ("Mental Health Act").
KR: My mental health declined? - I was unhappy because I had been locked in a secure mental asylum and prison and denied a phone call to a lawyer for  nine days.  Any normal person would have felt increasingly depressed too!  I went and sat in my room and cried.  The next thing some evil little man who I later found out was Dr Hiran Thabrew, - whose wife had committed suicide on 29th March 2010 -  declared me insane, knowing full well that I wasn't.

Dr Hiran Thabrew is a cruel sadistic, manipulative, corrupt "Doctor" and I don't doubt that if he continues to be allowed to "practice" psychiatry in New Zealand he will be involved in other suicides also.  Any person who wants to know more about the tragic death of Chelsea Brindle Thabrew can do what I did, and write to Coronial.Information@justice.govt.nz and request a copy of the Coroner's findings.
Drs Hiran Thabrew and Eileen Wooley signed the papers having barely set eyes on me,  but nowhere can I find any notes whatsoever as to a diagnosis - the forms just say that "There are reasonable grounds to believe that the patient is mentally disordered and that it is desirable that the proposed patient be required to undergo further assessment and treatment."  

The signing of the papers was a complete travesty!  Neither Thabrew or Wooley made any attempt at 'examining' me - their actions are outrageous!  Dr Thabrew wouldn't know mental illness or "danger to themselves" if he fell over it!  - He makes it up as he goes along and he is a sadistic and dangerous man with an evil streak.  He knew perfectly well that I wasn't mentally ill.

A Certificate of Further Assessment was filled in on 17 March by one Dr Sarfati, who had also briefly spoken to me on the 12th. While Drs Thabrew and Wooley seemed to be going through the motions, Dr Safarti seemed to be one of the people pulling the strings. On 31st March Dr Safarti wrote a report for the Court about why I should be detained in a secure mental asylum at the tax payers expense for a further period.  This report is just ridiculous, it says things like I talk fast.  It says: "With regard to her delusional beliefs, she told her R/C that:
  • After being fired from her school in Carterton, she believed that the headmaster had been paid off or bribed to do so.  The pay off was large enough for him to purchase a BMW car."  This is ridiculous - this site and several others have all the information about this matter that I know about ("believe") and nowhere on any of them does it say anything about a BMW car or anything like this "belief", which is nothing more than a figment of Sally Rimkeit's delusional imagination, not mine.  It was a lot like Chinese whispers, the way these ridiculous allegations - which we must remember is supposed to be evidence of a serious mental illness - spread from one report to the next with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.  Judge Mill recognised this in his decision of 11 May 2011.  
  • "That a witness, Aaron Brook was paid off to lie about her"  There is at least one witness who will swear on oath that they heard Brook stating exactly that - boasting about being paid off by Gary McPhee to lie in Court.  
  • "When asked why people were against her, it was because they were trying to take revenge because she exposed them on Wiki Leaks."  I have never exposed anything or anyone on "Wiki Leaks".  - Incidentally, my name has never been spelled 'Kathryn' either; Drs Rimkeit, Short, Thabrew, Wooley, Romans, Judson and Barry-Walsh insisted on referring to me in their reports with the erroneous delusion that it was.  They refused all rebuttal from me on the matter.  Not to mention the rebuttal of all my friends and family, and all evidence to the contrary.  Local police (some of them) are "against me" because I noted their disgraceful performance.  The disgrace has also been widely noted by a variety of other sources as well.  This situation has reached a critical stage.  I am not delusional, public opinion is obviously entirely in accordance with my beliefs.
  • "She is convinced she is in hospital illegally and wants her status to be overturned."  'Being held unlawfully' was the term I used.  And again, this is not evidence of any serious mental illness, it is the reaction of any sane person who found themselves locked in a secure mental asylum and unable to contact a lawyer, etc
  • "She will not accept that the Judiciary and Police may be against her as a result of her behaviour."  Her behaviour?  What behaviour exactly?  This is typically as specific as these 'certificates' and 'reports' get.  It is up to the Judge and the Jury to decide the merits of that proposition at the trial, as it's up to them to decide the question of whether I am guilty of Perverting the Course of Justice, or whether, as I state, and will do so on oath, and produce evidence in verification of it, that the police and their witnesses in this matter are lying, and are "against me" because they are essentially corrupt (or have been acting incompetently and corruptly) and I have been drawing attention to it.
The report then says "It seems to me that Katherine has been convinced that she has been maligned by the Police and Judiciary verging on the delusional.  Also she expressed delusional ideas about the reason why she was fired from her work at the school.  There is little doubt in my mind that she feels that she has been maligned."  The evidence speaks for itself regarding the matter of the South End School:  The police told the Principal and the Board of Trustees that they had "recently charged me with an offence involving a child and have refused to this very day to admit it, let alone admit that the allegation is untrue and apologise for spreading these malicious, delusional and defamatory lies.

Because of this corrupt, sadistic and insane quackery I was forcibly medicated with strong antipsychotic medications, including Aripiprazole, Risperidone, Olanzapine (Zyprexa), Clonazepam and others, because I criticised the police, etc, despite all the evidence linked to above.  On more than one occasion I was given the wrong medication.  It is absolutely incredible that this can happen in New Zealand in this day and age - this is like something out of a third world dictatorship or something!

11.     Ms Raue has remained in hospital subject to assessment and treatment under the Mental Health Act, section 30 (Compulsory In-patient Order) which was made on 4 May 2011.  This Order continues until 3 November 2011.
KR: The Order was discharged less than a month after the Crown filed this corrupt document informing the Court it intended to offer no evidence against me.  I was given leave from the hospital on 17th June 2011 and discharged totally from the Mental Health Act the following month by Dr Wolfgang Kure, as soon as he was assigned my responsible clinician.  Dr Kure was suddenly appointed my RC when Gary Orr, Jackie Short and Sally Rimkeit all went overseas at once apparently - like rats off a sinking ship, as soon as I reinstated my Application to the High Court for a Judicial Review!

12.     The District Court has received several reports from Ms Raue's treating physicians pursuant to the CP(MIP) Act.  They address Ms Raue's fitness to stand trial and/or whether she is insane, within the meaning of the legislation.

13.     The report writers note that "Ms Raue is currently being treated for mood disorders and for beliefs which have from time to time reached delusional intensity".  Her treating physicians report that the beliefs are related to events in the Wairarapa community and have now extended to conspiracy beliefs around the police, courts and mental health authorities.
KR: On the 4th March 2011 Dr Barry-Walsh, who had previously written 
"I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions" wrote: "I could find no evidence on an albeit brief assessment that there had been any change in her underlying psychiatric state from my previous assessment."
14.     Her treating physicians have made it clear that she cannot represent herself without assistance from a lawyer and that her mental health is aggravated by the court process.  
KR: Just who is delusional here?  Dr Judson's report of 13 June 2011 says: "Ms Raue presented as pleasant, polite, well groomed and looked physically quite healthy and relaxed."  "Her manner was pleasant and quite relaxed throughout the interview and she showed no evidence of any pressure in her thinking. Her speech, while a little speeded at times, was not noticeably pressured and her thought processes were logical and rational throughout the period of the interview.  We spent some time discussing the issues of the court, the charges and her intended defence.  She was able to explain clearly and rationally the way in which she intends to defend herself against the charge and remained focused on this throughout, without introducing any extraneous or irrelevant material and without displaying any paranoid thought processes in relation to the charges."  "Her understanding of the legal issues is very good and she has the ability to formulate and enter a plea and to follow all the matters pertinent to the court."  "Overall my impression is that the degree of improvement that we are now seeing suggests that she will be able to interact successfully with the court for the purpose of conducting her defence.  In my opinion she is now fit to stand trial."  This makes an utter mockery of Rimkeit's comments and of the Crown memorandum.  The Crown never had any intention of allowing this matter to go to trial because they knew perfectly well that it was an orchestrated litany of lies cobbled together in a pathetic attempt to pervert the course of justice by the Wairarapa police, professional leech Bryan Yeoman (there's a link on this site to the Legal Services website showing how much money he's been paid for his "services" and others.

15.     Ms Raue does not have a defence of insanity open to her.  She appears capable of understanding the nature and quality of the alleged offence.

16.     Ms Raue's physicians have advised that upon her release Ms Raue will continue to be monitored and treated by Mental Health Services in the community.  What rubbish - this certainly never happened!

REVIEW OF CHARGE - PUBLIC INTEREST TEST

17.     It is clear that Ms Raue is currently significantly unwell.  She is detained in hospital.  It is likely that her mental condition influenced her offending.  Continuation of the Court process has potential to fuel Ms Raue's delusions and paranoia.  It may delay or prevent her recovery.
KR: What rubbish!  This pack of lies is nothing but a blatant and deliberate attempt to pervert the course of justice by Crown solicitor Grant Burstyn!  I was NOT significantly unwell at all and I was NOT "currently detained in hospital" and I was NOT monitored on my release at all or required to take any medication, I was released UNCONDITIONALLY - PRIOR to this application by the Crown to throw the charge out!!!  Dr Judson's report of 13 June 2011 - two days before this application was written - says: 
"Ms Raue presented as pleasant, polite, well groomed and looked physically quite healthy and relaxed."  "Her manner was pleasant and quite relaxed throughout the interview and she showed no evidence of any pressure in her thinking.  Her speech, while a little speeded at times, was not noticeably pressured and her thought processes were logical and rational throughout the period of the interview.  We spent some time discussing the issues of the court, the charges and her intended defence.  She was able to explain clearly and rationally the way in which she intends to defend herself against the charge and remained focused on this throughout, without introducing any extraneous or irrelevant material and without displaying any paranoid thought processes in relation to the charges."  "Her understanding of the legal issues is very good and she has the ability to formulate and enter a plea and to follow all the matters pertinent to the court."  "Overall my impression is that the degree of improvement that we are now seeing suggests that she will be able to interact successfully with the court for the purpose of conducting her defence.  In my opinion she is now fit to stand trial."  
On the 4th March 2011 Dr Barry-Walsh, who had previously written:  
"I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions" wrote: 
"I could find no evidence on an albeit brief assessment that there had been any change in her underlying psychiatric state from my previous assessment."  
Two days after this memorandum was written I was allowed to go home, and have had little involvement with mental health services since then.  I have been discharged from the Mental Health Act and the medication ceased, on the advice of well respected psychiatrist Dr Wolfgang Kure and his team.  I was never in need of the horrific and sadistic "treatment" administered to me in Rangipapa and Te Whare Ahuru, or the forcibly administered 'medication'.  Sadistic, dangerous drug dealers like Brenda Sally Rimkeit, Jacqueline Short, Gary Orr, etc, should be locked up in the public interest!
In her report dated 22 March (after two weeks of medication and sadistic and cruel 'treatment' by these raving lunatics) corrupt liar "Dr" Brenda Sally Rimkeit makes the following statement under the heading "Assessment of fitness to stand trial:"
"It is my opinion (and that of forensic psychiatrist Dr Jacqueline Short, currently my acting supervisor) that Ms Raue is unfit to stand trial. She currently has a mental impairment which is Delusional Disorder. Ms Raue has stated on a number of occasions during this assessment period that she feels capable of representing and defending herself against the current charges. She has suggested that her main line of defence is that the charges are the result of corrupt acts by certain parties and that she will name these parties in Court. My concern is that if she proceeds to represent herself at Court she may, through her delusional belief system, falsely accuse certain parties of wrongdoing." 

What?!!! This is blatant and outrageous corruption!

I am the one falsely accused, and fully intended to call a witness who will swear on oath that they heard Aaron Brook boasting that Gary McPhee (ex Mayor and drunken bully) paid him money to lie in Court against me, I am perfectly entitled to do this, and it would have most definitely been in the public interest and in the interests of justice for the jury to decide that, not Brenda Silly Rimkeit! It is completely outrageous that a serious criminal trial can be aborted like this because of the mumbo jumbo of mad women like this and malicious doctors like Safarti, who knew perfectly well that I was not delusional, not a danger to myself or anyone else, perfectly well able to care for myself and not suffering from any major mental illness and probably not any minor one either for that matter unless you count depression and situational claustrophobia.

Furthermore, a number of psychiatrists did not share Rimkeit's delusions, Dr Justin Barry-Walsh wrote: 
"Her account included a number of persecutory ideas. However on balance, considering her ideas and reviewing the other materials, I do not think Ms Raue has a mental illness, particularly I do not believe that she has a psychotic illness characterised by the development of persecutory delusions.
He also says:
"I would further observe the litigious quality to her presentation means that she has an exaggerated intellectual understanding of court process and would be well capable of following legal process and both entering a plea and instructing a lawyer."  
18      In these circumstances it is considered that continued prosecution of the charge against the accused is not required in the public interest.  Subject to any directions from the Court, the Crown intends to offer no evidence in relation to this matter. Dated at Wellington this 15th day of June 2011.   G J Burstyn,   Crown Solicitor 
KR: The Crown was never going to offer any evidence on this charge anyway because there never was any evidence!   Certain parties to these proceedings have strung the matter out deliberately, knowing perfectly well that there has never been any evidence in support of the charges, which have been laid corruptly and in bad faith in order to deliberately pervert the course of justice.  There have been false declarations deliberately made to the Court by the police, Bryan Yeoman, the above mentioned psychiatric staff and others.  It is in the public interest and in the interests of justice that this matter is investigated by judicial inquiry as soon as possible.  G J Burston should be imprisoned for this - no wonder Greg King couldn't take it any more!  This taxpayer funded corruption is sickening!

A dismissal under this section of the Act is deemed an acquittal.   

The charge of escaping from custody was thrown out the previous September after Constable Rhymer told the Court how she said "We might go the Masterton" and "We could go to Masterton" etc and Judge Barry rightly agreed that this is a far cry from "You are under arrest and you have the right to remain silent" etc.

On the 22nd July 2011 Dr Kure discharged me and certified that there was nothing wrong with me - Just as Dr Barry-Walsh had reported in the first place.  Drs Rimkeit, Short, Romans, Sarfati and others should be convicted for the blatant and evil corruption which they committed deliberately, in an attempt to pervert the course of justice and ensure the matter never went to trial. 

Constable Laura Rhymer LIED IN COURT during the hearing of the Crown application to limit the evidence the jury heard regarding the corruptly laid charge of escaping from custody - it was so apparent to the Judge hearing the application that he threw the charge out entirely because both the Judge and the assigned prosecutor, Ms Andrea Ewing (who had the good sense and moral fibre to make the application for dismissal half way through the travesty of a hearing), could see that Rhymer was blatantly LYING!

But incredibly, despite this memorandum, Wairarapa police are still pursuing a number of other, equally corrupt  prosecutions against me.  The matters were called in the Masterton Court today, 1 August 2011, after they have already got two previous adjournments of the matters since the Crown convinced the Court that it wouldn't be in the public interest to continue the serious charge - if it's not in the public interest to charge me with perverting the course of justice how is it in the public interest to continue with these other pathetic charges (link up soon to the Court "evidence")?  Evidence provided by police shows indisputably that I was repeatedly assaulted by Wayne Friend and his low life drug addicted mates when I tried to collect my belongings from the address where I previously lived, after being invited in writing by the property owner to do so, a matter which police refuse to investigate despite the indisputable evidence!  The charges against me will never be proven because they are based on utter lies and the police know it but still they persist, in spite of the claims in the Crown memorandum that doing so is likely to "delay or prevent my recovery, aggravate my condition, fuel my delusions and paranoia", etc.

Court registry officer Liz Harpleton was sitting up on the bench with Judge Hobbs, and her boyfriend, police prosecutor Gary Wilson, the pair of them successfully got yet another adjournment - they should both get the sack for conspiring to pervert the course of justice - not to mention Court manager and serial liar Mark Elliot.  There have been numerous complaints of outright corruption and collusion between Harpleton and Wilson and it is an outrageous conflict of interest and makes a contemptuous mockery of the Court the longer it continues.  Apparently the pathetic Wairarapa police have now got yet another adjournment until August 18th!  What an utter waste of time and money!  Our money, tax payers money.  And the blatant arrogance of it in the face of all the evidence about the hundreds of uninvestigated child abuse cases and the role of the police in covering it up, making files disappear, etc.  The third bullet point below paragraph numbered "10" below has several links to evidence of this disgraceful scandal.

There needs to be a full inquiry into the Wairarapa police, and the Crown prosecutor, as soon as possible, it was revealed that there are hundreds of uninvestigated child abuse allegations and that Wairarapa police deliberately tried to conceal that fact, destroying files and saying they were "lost" etc.  - This is like the investigation into the claims of Louise Nicholas and the subsequent inquiry into only the sexual conduct of the police - the real issue is not the sordid sexual aspects of matter but the fact that Louise Nicholas complained about this behaviour for years and that a number of senior police officers deliberately tried to pervert the course of justice for so long and refused to investigate it.  We need a proper inquiry into the police and the PCA - adding the word "Independent" to the name of the organisation is a joke, the PCA (IPCA) is anything but independent, they are in the business of minimising and concealing the disgusting behaviour of the NZ police.  It's not just child abuse allegations that the Wairarapa police refuse to investigate - how naive!  They refuse to investigate complaints about their mates, and they refuse to take complaints from me then deliberately make up false complaints about me instead.  These notes document how local police rang St Matthews Collegiate where I worked as a Boarding Matron, and urged them to sack me:

Police did the same thing at the South End School.  They told the Principal and Board of Trustees that they had "recently charged me with an offence involving a child" - which was TOTALLY delusional.  

Local woman  Tracy Feast made up a great big lie about a non existent 'incident' in the supermarket involving a child.  The CCTV camera footage showed that she was lying, there was nothing to charge me for, there was no incident, no crime, nothing, except for Tracy Feast's nasty malicious and delusional lies, which were the cause of a vicious, violent and totally unprovoked and unwarranted attack on me in my home which was witnessed by three independent witnesses who all rang 111 to report what they were witnessing - a vicious violent attack.  Constable Cunningham's so called "Offence report" is an orchestrated litany of LIES!

The point is, even if there had been any cause for concern the whole allegation is simply not believable:  Feast's allegation was that I momentarily allowed a five year old child to venture outside my line of vision in the supermarket is ridiculous.  Constable Cunningham knew that, so he made up some story about 'not having proper permission' which was utter lies.  What right minded person would come and smash down someone's door for that anyway?  If a person has concerns about "an offence involving a child" they should go to the police station and report it, not go round and smash the persons door down while screaming serious threats and abuse - this was a serious violent attack and these attackers clearly have anger management issues, Murphy is seriously psychotic, and Tracey Feast and her ex partner were the cause of at least one local suicide, that of Donna Thompson, who tragically left a young girl to grow up without a mother.  

There has been an inquiry into the Wairarapa police, it's been going on for years, it's been nothing but a great big gravy train for all involved, the ringleaders of the child abuse cover up scandal have been promoted - McHattie was never even INTERVIEWED by the so called "investigators"!   This so called inquiry began in 2004 and it's been nothing but a big cover up - a big gravy train for these taxpayer funded paedophiles and criminals - thanks to Transparency NZ, awareness is growing and more and more good FOCKCers - Friends of Caring Kiwi Communities - are speaking up about it - and it's time others did the same!  

In the eighties New Zealanders went out on the streets to protest about apartheid.  Ross Meurant was in charge of the Red Squad (and National party Minister of Police), he's seen the light, and it's time to start unite again and demand fiduciary accountability - support Transparency NZ and let's put the unity back in our commUnities.

It's time the government stopped funding Transparency International NZ (to tell us there's no corruption in NZ - we all know there is) and started funding Transparency NZ and the FOCKCers, who will then address the problem instead of ignoring it as is currently the case.

We do this by publishing the EVIDENCE of it for all to see, which is the very reason behind this corrupt tax payer funded witch hunt!

Despite the efforts of these "doctors" to prevent me accessing paper and pens from the minute I arrived at Rangipapa until the day I was to be tried on the charge of perverting the course of justice, I did manage to get my hands on writing materials, and I kept a diary during the time I was corruptly incarcerated in the loony bin - it's being typed up at the moment and a link will be included shortly to the transcription of this diary.

Of particular note is that immediately after lawyer Liz Lambert filed the applications for writs of habeus corpus in the days prior to the 19th April (her submissions are dated the 19th). 
My application for Judicial Inquiry was dated 19 April 2011.


On the 21st April 2011 I arranged to have my application for judicial inquiry faxed to the High Court with an affidavit from Mrs Marion Goodall of Carterton, who gave evidence in person that there was nothing wrong with me whatsoever (I had been renting a room from Mrs Goodall and she saw me every day, we were friends and Mrs Goodall knew me well), I also attached the Depositions evidence and Judge Barry's written decision regarding the acquittal on the escaping from custody charge - part of the joined indictment with the perverting the course of justice charge.

The High Court immediately responded confirming receipt of my application, and within a few hours I was informed that my mail would henceforth be "vetted" and when I asked what that entailed I was told that any mail I wished to send or receive would be read first by the "doctors" and if they deemed that it was not in my best interests to send or receive any of the mail they would act to prevent it being sent or received - according to the Mental Health Act!

 When I dared to suggest that my mail to and from lawyers was legally privileged and that any attempt to 'vet' it would be unlawful, I was informed that as Liz Lambert didn't hold a current practising certificate Dr Rimkeit had given orders that mail to and from Mrs Lambert was NOT privileged and WOULD be vetted - in order to prevent any more applications to the Court to have me freed, and prevent me from communicating with any lawyer who wasn't part of the plan to keep me in there.

On 20th April I was informed I was no longer permitted in the 'Ladies Lounge' after staff realised that I must have got the pen and paper to write the application from one of the other 'patients'.  I was also informed I was no longer permitted to contact lawyer Liz Lambert, who had filed the two applications of writs of habeus corpus - because Mrs Lambert apparently didn't have a current practising certificate and was therefore not deemed to be "a lawyer" by the mad doctors!

I returned to the High Court on 2 May 2011 as the Justices attempted to deal with my application.  Justice Ronald Young adjourned the matter in order to await the outcome of the section 38 and section 16 hearings in the District Court set down for the 4th May.

On 4th May further evidence was given by Mrs Goodall, a Mrs Evans who has known me for over thirty years, a Mr Tony Pearce who gave powerful evidence in writing and in person regarding the corrupt actions of local Police regarding me, and the homicidal actions of one Julian Tyerman, who had boasted to Mr Pearce about deliberately using a vehicle to run me off the road at night while I was riding my bicycle causing moderate injuries.

Judge Mill reserved his decision.

On 6th May I asked to send a fax to the Court and was immediately sent "out the back" to the "back ward" for punishment of this serious transgression of the unwritten rules, thanks to Matt Woods again (a corrupt nurse, Matt Woods and Tracy Anne Wood were two of the most sadistic and corrupt of the staff, both had British accents).

I was recalled to the High Court on 9th May to discuss progress regarding my application for judicial review.  We didn't have the decision of Judge Mill.

On 12th May corrupt sadistic Dr Rimkeit increased the dose of Olanzapine and Clonazepam - I was forcibly administered these drugs, and other dangerous medications such as Aripiprazole, Risperadone (also called Risperadol) and others, making me feel increasingly nauseous, dizzy and disorientated as well as other side effects.

On the 13th May I was handed the decision of Judge Mill, but shortly after this it was taken from me by Matt Woods and taken into the office and not returned to me.  Efforts to ask for it to be returned resulted in me being dragged "out the back" again.

On Monday the 16th May 2011 I was stopped as we were leaving the dining room after lunch and told to pack my things.  I asked where I was going but none of my questions were answered.  I packed my things, and at about 2pm was put into a car with three or four staff and driven to a facility in the grounds of Lower Hutt hospital, Te Whare Ahuru.  I barely had time to say goodbye to the other 'patients', the women who by now had become very good friends to me.

I was introduced to Dr Gary Orr, and I soon realised that slimy Dr Orr was in on it too.

- What sort of "Plan" is this for dealing with an alleged mental illness - don't give her any writing materials, suspend all faxing and photocopying, nil incoming phone calls, outgoing calls to be "monitored" - that means that a staff member must listen in to all calls and terminate them if I say the wrong thing and record the calls!!!  This is NOT a scientific way of treating a genuine illness - this is a corrupt conspiracy to unlawfully detain a whistleblower who has exposed serious corruption!!!


The EVIDENCE that this is nothing but a corrupt pack of lies includes the following emails exchanged between the key players as the date of the trial on the perverting the course of justice hearing drew closer - Gary Orr was in on it and compliant with the plans of Rimkeit, Short and Yeoman, but all of them were keen to avoid responsibility for it and keen to pass responsibility on to someone who was either in on the plan, or a gullible shill who would play along in spite of concerns at the hearing to determine my fitness refered to in the emails.  The main players ensured that they would be out of the country at the time, but they seem to have thought that Dr Wolfgang Kure, who is mentioned in, and one of the recipients apparently of, the second of these two emails, would go along with the plan, which was a big mistake.  

Dr Wolfgang Kure is a courageous man and a man of great integrity.  He also has no trouble distinguishing between a person with a mental disorder and person who has no mental disorder and he clearly believed that I fell into the latter category:





No sooner had Gary Orr, Jackie Short and Brenda Sally Rimkeit gone away Dr Kure met with me, realised I wasn't the slightest bit delusional and let me go home.  Here is the final discharge papers - no conditions, no medication, no ongoing treatment of any kind required - NO MENTAL ILLNESS!  Dr Kure should be praised for his astute intelligence as well as his integrity, good humour and wit.  He is a fine gentleman who knows a gross injustice when he sees it and refuses to tolerate it let alone join in!




Now, some readers may think that this is an isolated case.  In fact, it's far from it.  There is a big, fat, taxpayer funded gravy train going round, and in fact any of us are likely to become fodder to feed it, and there's a lot of snouts in the trough.  It's not hard to point the finger at ME and say "She's mad."  I might be slightly unconventional in some ways, but someone who is not and never has been the slightest bit abnormal or unconventional or mad is Mr Bruce Bithell, of Carterton, who was courageous enough to share the experiences of himself and his late wife Kathy.  These experiences were almost unbelievable, but the truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes . . .
