versus the kind of people who activitely do this…

http://www.theaucklander.co.nz/news/national-party-billboards-targeted/1172016/

A deliberate and coordinated campaign to vandalise a party’s hoardings and intentionally mislead the general electorate. or is this OK because they are rallying against the ‘evil’ and ‘smug’ John Key while supporting the left?

I dare somebody to attempt to justify this as perfectly acceptable

It’s not just Fenton, BWAV. This isn’t getting through, is it? It seems to be a worryingly high proportion of the Labout Party and their supporters who are nasty, spiteful, vicious, name-calling people who live in the gutter. It’s really not nice to observe.

Batman, these “activists” are vile totalitarians who do not tolerate dissent. You either support the lunatic Left or are considered an enemy of the people.

If caught the book should be thrown at these vandals and bastards.

And what you just said is un-nasty and un-spiteful and un-vicious and un-name-calling…..?

Ha Ha the left will rise and take over the country Its their right they represent the downtrodden and helpless poor. Those who are so useless they can not even stop breeding. Those who could not get a job at McDs. Those whose diet constitutes buckets of KFC and takeaways.Support the trains,save the unions, kill the economy. Vote looney left this year and the world will be a better place for some looses kids. Never mind the the productive. Just steal their money till they bleed. Everyone knows that jobs come from government and moneys free.

Don’t you loonys have somewhere else to play?

Labour and the Greens have called on Key to release a transcript of the secret recording.
Labour’s campaign manager Grant Robertson believes the prime minister is trying to put up a smokescreen by focusing on the motives and legality of taping the conversation.

Perhaps Labour should make public any discussions their members have had about the post-Election replacement of their Leader Mr Goff.
Perhaps they should swear that Goff will still be their Leader in six months time so voters have some clarity and reassurance on what Labour presents as themselves publicly.

Key really doesn’t want his weasly words made public eh ?

Key to complain over secret tea tape

Police are due at the Beehive this afternoon to receive a complaint from Prime Minister John Key about a secret taping.

Key this afternoon said he would lay a complaint under the Crimes Act for deliberately taping third party conversations.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/campaign-trail/5960522/Key-to-complain-over-secret-tea-tape

It’s not the police he should be calling, it’s the waaaaaahmbulance.

Sheeeeit, now I’m tempted to call the ghostbusters on those 170 000 jobs he’s going to materialise out of thin air.

Rod Oram was one of the biggest sycophants of Clark (and Labour) during the socialists’ administration. No surprise there.

If memory doesn’t fail me I remember listening to him on NewstalkZb, before the 2008 election, asking people to support Labour.

Per chance I ahppened to hear the interview with Bryce Johns this morning and Karl sums it up nicely.

Its also a reasonable guess that he is right about the contenet of the conversation.
Would anyone trust those two with their futures anymore?

Quite possibly. Though i think this time round he’s talking about jobs in Australia ?

Who bloody knows anymore ? I’ve become de-sensitised to his lies.

Funny thing is, then when he smiles, i forget anything he said and just want to have his babies…which is a bit wrong cos i’m a guy.

I have often read that people can be judged by the company they keep. Since you have taken on the thankless & fruitless task of converting Kiwiblog readers to socialism I’ve noticed you undergo an epiphany….no longer the bumper stickers written with nigga ghetto phraseology. Instead you insult us with grammatically correct & well thought out statements.

Alas the election is only twelve days away but I feel that when you enter the election booth & grasp the thick black pencil in your palsied hand your mind will overcome your prejudices & National will acquire another convert.

At a nursing home a group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments. “My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee,” said one.

“Yes, I know,” said another. “My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see my coffee.”

“I couldn’t even mark an ‘X’ at election time, my hands are so crippled,” volunteered a third.

“What? Speak up! What? I can’t hear you! said a fourth.

“I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck,” said a fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

“My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk!” exclaimed another.

“I forget where I am, and where I’m going,” said an elderly gent.

“I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old,” winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement.

“Well, count your blessings,” said one woman cheerfully, “thankfully, we all still have our NZ drivers’ licences”.

I have formally requested the Serious Fraud Office to lay the same criminal charges against Don Brash and John Banks that were laid aginst fellow former Director of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd – Peter Huljich.

I’ve given the SFO 7seven days.

I mean – it can’t be TOO complicated?

Surely?

I’ve checked today, and had it confirmed that the Finance Markets Authority (FMA), has all the documentation from the old Securities Commission, who filed criminal charges against (only) Peter Huljich.

So – if ONE LAW FGR ALL equally applies to ALL former fellow Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, won’t it just involve using the Peter Huljich documentation as a ‘template’ and changing the names of the defendants to Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks?

How hard is THAT?

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ‘WHITE COLLAR’ CRIME – sort of thing?

Or are the former Leader of the National Party – Don Brash, and former National Government Minister of POLICE and Local Government – John Banks – effectively ‘above the law’?

ONE LAW FOR ALL?

Or not?

Wonder what NZ Prime Minister John Key thinks about John Banks and Don Brash being equally held accountable as former Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd?

I mean – do you REALLY want as coalition partners to help run the country arguably commercial incompetents – who couldn’t even properly run a Kiwisaver Scheme?

OPEN LETTER / REQUEST TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE, ADAM FEELEY:
FOR THE SAME CRIMINAL CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST DONALD THOMAS BRASH AND JOHN ARCHIBALD BANKS AS WERE AGAINST THE FORMER FELLOW DIRECTOR OF HULJICH WEALTH MANAGEMENT PETER KARL CHRISTOPHER HULJICH:

14 November 2011

Adam Feeley,
Director of the NZ Serious Fraud Office (SFO)

Dear Mr Feeley,

I am deeply concerned to have to request the assistance of the NZ Serious Fraud Office, in order to have the principle of ‘ONE LAW FOR ALL’ equally applied to fellow former Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, Dr Don Brash and John Banks.

The reason why I am requesting the assistance of the NZ Serious Fraud Office, is because, in my considered opinion, the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes, has failed to ‘do his job’.

In my considered opinion, the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes has NOT ensured the application of the same law equally and consistently to ALL three former Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, Dr Don Brash, John Banks and Peter Huljich, ALL of whom equally signed, for example, the Huljich Kiwisaver Scheme ‘Registered Prospectus’, dated 18 September 2009, which contained ‘untrue’ unit price performance graphs.

This is the latest correspondence which I have received from , the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes, on this matter, in an email dated 13 November 2011:

“Dear Ms Bright
Thank you for your letter, which was handed in to my Auckland office on 8 November 2011.
I have reviewed your latest correspondence carefully, noting that it does not raise any new or significantly different issues to those raised by you on 27 September 2011.

FMA’s position is unchanged from that expressed in my email to you on 28 September 2011. I am satisfied that the position of both Mr Banks and Dr Brash was carefully considered by the Securities Commission and that competent advice was received in relation to the entities or persons against whom charges ought to be brought. Unless you have new information or evidence to bring to light which was not previously considered by the Securities Commission, FMA does not consider you have any basis on which to suggest it should bring proceedings against either Mr Banks or Dr Brash in relation to Huljich Wealth Management.

Yours faithfully
Sean Hughes

http://www.fma.govt.nz
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

I hereby formally request, that in order for ‘justice to be done and be seen to be done’, and for the principle of ‘equality before the law’ to be preserved in practice, for you to please exercise ‘due diligence’ and take all necessary steps to ensure that the same charges that were laid by the Securities Commission against Huljich Wealth Management Director, Peter Karl Christopher Huljich, are equally laid against former fellow Directors Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks.

For your information, when I asked why charges had not been laid against former fellow Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ ) Limited, Donald Brash and John Archibald Banks, the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes, replied in an email dated 28 September 2011:

“Dear Ms Bright,

I refer to your inquiry yesterday regarding the position of Mr John Banks and Mr Donald Brash as former directors of Huljich Wealth Management.

I understand that when this matter was initially brought to the Securities Commission’s attention, the Commission sought legal advice on whether an offence had been committed, by whom, and what charges if any should be laid.

On 10 November 2010, the following charges were laid against Huljich Wealth Management and its director Mr Peter Huljich:

• 2 charges under s 58, Securities Act 1978, for the distribution of a misleading prospectuses dated 22 August 2008 and 18 September 2009;

• 6 charges under s 59, Securities Act 1978, for the distribution of misleading investment statements.

The charges relate principally to unit price performance graphs contained in the Huljich KiwiSaver Scheme prospectuses and investment statements that portrayed the Scheme as having significantly outperformed other KiwiSaver Schemes.

However, the Commission alleged that prospectuses and investment statements failed to disclose that the performance of the Scheme had been materially inflated by a series of related party payments, made at the direction of Mr Peter Huljich.

I further understand there was insufficient evidence available to the Commission to prove to the requisite criminal standard that either Mr Banks or Dr Brash was involved in these related party payments.

I am satisfied that the position of both Mr Banks and Dr Brash was carefully considered by the Securities Commission and that competent advice was received in relation to the entities against whom charges ought to be brought.

Thank you for your interest in this matter.

Yours faithfully
Sean Hughes”

I note that, for example, the Huljich Kiwisaver Scheme ‘Registered Prospectus’, dated 18 September 2009, (pg1 – APPENDIX “A”) which contained the ‘untrue’ unit price performance graphs (pg 5 – APPENDIX “B”, was signed by all three Directors (pg 42 – APPENDIX “C”)

I also note that s. 58 (3) of the Securities Act 1978, is, in my considered opinion, very clear regarding the criminal liability for ‘misstatement’ in ‘advertisement or registered prospectus’, in that EVERY person who signed the prospectus, commits an offence:

http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1978/0103/latest/DLM29406.html?search=ts_act_Securities+Act+1978_resel&p=1#DLM29406

58 Criminal liability for misstatement in advertisement or registered prospectus

(3) Subject to subsection (4) of this section, where a registered prospectus that includes an untrue statement is distributed, every person who signed the prospectus, or on whose behalf the registered prospectus was signed for the purposes of section 41(1)(b) of this Act, commits an offence.

(4) No person shall be convicted of an offence under subsection (3) of this section if the person proves either that the statement was immaterial or that he or she had reasonable grounds to believe, and did, up to the time of the distribution of the prospectus, believe that the statement was true.

(5) Every person who commits an offence against this section is liable—

(a) on conviction on indictment to—
(i) imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years; or
(ii) a fine not exceeding $300,000 and, if the offence is a continuing one, to a further fine not exceeding $10,000 for every day or part of a day during which the offence is continued; or

(b) on summary conviction to—
(i) imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months; or
(ii) a fine not exceeding $300,000 and, if the offence is a continuing one, to a further fine not exceeding $10,000 for every day or part of a day during which the offence is continued.
_____________________________________________________
So – why were Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks, as fellow Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Limited, who signed the same Huljich Kiwisaver Scheme ‘Registered Prospectus’, dated 18 September 2009 as Peter Karl Christopher Huljich, not equally charged, particularly given that it was in their supposedly astute business acumen, that the investing public were led to believe that they could have confidence?

Were Donald Thomas Brash, former Leader of the National Party and John Archibald Banks, former National Government Minister (of Police and Local Government), effectively protected from prosecution because of their political connections at the highest levels?

Because, quite frankly, in my considered opinion, that’s how it appears, particularly now that the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes, has confirmed that:

“ (the) FMA does not consider you have any basis on which to suggest it should bring proceedings against either Mr Banks or Dr Brash in relation to Huljich Wealth Management.”

I look forward to your confirmation, in writing, within 7 days, that the same charges that were laid against Peter Karl Christopher Huljich by the former Securities Commission will be laid against Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks, by the Serious Fraud Office.

I have checked today, and can confirm that the Finance Markets Authority has all the former Securities Commission documents which were used to enforce the Securities Act 1978 provisions against ONE of the Huljich Wealth Management Directors – Peter Huljich.

All I’m asking for, in the first instance, is that the same legal action is equally taken against Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks.

The required ‘homework’ has obviously already been done, by the Securities Commission.

In my considered opinion, there is significant and growing public interest in this matter, both nationally and internationally.

Surely – there will not be much work required by the Serious Fraud Office to promptly lay the same charges against Donald Thomas Brash and John Archibald Banks?

‘ONE LAW FOR ALL’?

Is ‘justice’ against ‘white collar crime’ going to be done and be seen to be done?

Or not?

Secondly, I would like the SFO to formally investigate why the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes has chosen NOT to equally apply the same ‘law’ to has NOT ensured the application of the same law equally and consistently to ALL three former Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, Dr Don Brash, John Banks and Peter Huljich.

Or is this a matter for the NZ Police?

In my considered opinion, the failure of the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes to NOT to equally apply the same ‘law’ to has NOT ensured the application of the same law equally and consistently to ALL three former Directors of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, Dr Don Brash, John Banks and Peter Huljich, is a arguably a form of ‘corrupt practice’.

I understand that the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes was appointed by the Finance Markets Authority Establishment Board, who were effectively National Party ‘appointees’, ‘hand-picked’ by the National Government Minister of Commerce (and Justice) Simon Power.

Is this why the CEO of the Finance Markets Authority, Sean Hughes, has been less than vigorous, as it were, in ensuring that the same law is equally applied to the former Leader of the National Party – Don Brash, and the former National Government Minister of Police and Local Government – John Banks?

Penny one assumes Sean Hughes is taking this position because:

However, the Commission alleged that prospectuses and investment statements failed to disclose that the performance of the Scheme had been materially inflated by a series of related party payments, made at the direction of Mr Peter Huljich.

Do you realise what this is saying?

Let me explain.

It’s saying Penny the reason Peter has been charged and not Don or John is because of those “related party transactions” which I’m sure you know already for who wouldn’t, it’s obvious.

So given that Penny, why go all mental on poor old Sean Hughes, saying the same thing in different ways, simply cause you don’t like that fact of life?

Why is it poor old Sean’s fault that Don nor John didn’t make any related-party transactions? Perhaps if they had, you might have had a point but they didn’t, so you don’t.

It looks as if we cannot reply on the Police to uphold or enforce Trespass Orders in our inner city green spaces. I suggest the 60% of the 99% who pay tax, nurture our environment and try to get the country ahead move in and reclaim the spaces that we are entitled to enjoy in our own way. There is no doubt that there are some structural and inequitable issues with the Global Financial System, unfortunately the great unwashed and taxpayer funded semi professional protesters can’t quite understand how to put forward a credible argument that everyone else doesn’t have to pay for.
Please God (Gaia,Huey…) show the leftie fuckwits the light so we all move forward.

Ever heard the concept known as Social Reproduction?

And before you start rattling on about this being a Maori problem, what the fuck are law abiding Maori going to be able to do that us honkies haven’t been able to achieve?

Plenty of white assholes out there, but I don’t feel responsible for them as a whitey.

Penny Bright, your 9:10 post has a near incomprehensible layout. Consider writing with the reader in mind instead of yourself, otherwise your efforts are just a fucking waste of space.

Yes, I was up late, had celebrated my youngest’s first day at school, even knocked off early to go and sit in for a while – helped out with the sport and gave some encouragement and man time to the poor little buggers that don’t get any.
Got wound up after 1/2 an hour of blog reading – the Trolls, the haters, destroyers.. and I accept my comments could have been interpreted as a racist rant – apologies.
Like many who have worked hard for years, employed people, built things, donated, kept out of trouble, grown great kids, don’t cost the rest of you in justice, health, welfare etc.. pay my own and others way.. I am getting fucking sick of the shit that decent kiwis are getting from the oxygen thieves – white, brown, yellow, red, green – whatever colour they may be.
BWAV – you don’t know shit, as anyone who bothers to read your crap on here knows.

Jeez freemark.

Wound up after 1/2 an hour on the blogs you felt moved to pen a racist rant then presume to know enough about others to dismiss them as oxygen thieves who don’t know shit.

Just cos you can post online, doesn’t mean you should.

Yeah, right – I’m sure your 622 comments are full of pearls of wisdom, maybe you should do something a bit more productive.. and don’t give me that shit about “presuming to know enough about others”..
“Do your parents know you’re up this late freemark ?

I mean, shouldn’t you be in bed studying ? Don’t you have school tomorrow or maybe a paper round you have to get up early for ?”

Go on, enlighten us Black, what is it that qualifies you to spout shit on here?

errr…..Sofia – you sure it isn’t my subject matter, as opposed to the layout of my “OPEN LETTER / REQUEST TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE, ADAM FEELEY FOR THE SAME CRIMINAL CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST DONALD THOMAS BRASH AND JOHN ARCHIBALD BANKS AS WERE AGAINST THE FORMER FELLOW DIRECTOR OF HULJICH WEALTH MANAGEMENT PETER KARL CHRISTOPHER HULJICH” that has apparently so upset you?

I’ve just done what a number of ‘Kiwibloggers’ suggested – formally requested that the SFO take the action that, in my considered opinion, the former Securities Comission / Finance Markets Authority should have taken already, had they applied ACT’s policy of ‘ONE LAW FOR ALL’ equally to the current ACT Party Leader, Don Brash (former Leader of the National Party) and current ACT Party candidate for Epsom (former National Government Minister of POLICE and Local Government) John Banks.

Pity ACT’s stated policy of ‘ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CRIME’ – doesn’t equally apply to the arguably yet-to-be convicted white collar criminals who are leading the ACT Party?

Kind regards,

That’ll be my black belt in Hu flung dung…waaah chaaaaa !!!

BTW, that shit about staying up past your bedtime was just a ploy to out you for whatever, a working dad with a family who posts like a young noob student.

Honestly, you need to harden up bro. Don’t take things personally, don’t put your personal shit out there for ridicule and realise that who you are online is not who you are in real life.

oh and quit fucking trolling me, surely you got better things to do ?
