So the present registrar can't find the file that the registrar before him said was extensive, perhaps the registrar before both of these registrars took it with him when he took a massive amount of info with him when they sacked him..........you couldn't make this shit up.....

Remember this poor man mentioned below.........any one know Ron Clark , poor bugger spent 2 weeks in intensive care, let him know about this wealth of evidence.

By Emma Joliff

A fish and chip shop owner injured in a gas explosion last year blames shoddy workmanship for the explosion which cost him his health, his confidence and his livelihood.

Ron Clark had to flee his Nelson fish and chip shop and spent two weeks in intensive care.

"An enormous bang, the wall went, the roof went, I'm standing there and the skins coming off my legs," says Mr Clark.

It took six months to rebuild the shop but he says it was all too stressful and he could no longer work. Mr Clark estimates between making a loss in selling the shop and the shortfall in rebuilding, he's more than $120,000 out of pocket.

"Basically I couldn't keep business going, it was all too much. You end up having to sell it and get out. eight years of work down the toilet."

The issue of gas certification was highlighted recently by the sacking of chief executive Philip Routhan, who claimed there were potentially hundreds of faulty gas installations in New Zealand.

"These guys get away with bloody murder, doesn't do his job, gets fired, goes back and says I want my job back. Well I'd like my shop back, I'd like my life back, Id like my health back, you know there are a lot of things I'd like back," says Mr Clark.

Mr Routhan's attempt to get his job back was rejected.

"If the authorities don't check the certification of all of these things then we might as well be living in a third world country."

The Department of Labour laid a complaint with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board after the blast," says Mr Clark.

The board says it's now completed its investigation and two men, aged 53 and 38, are due to appear at a Disciplinary Tribunal hearing in February.



Perhaps I can ask the next registrar....what a joke we have had for well over 10 years......

I am going to ask each and every new registrar to deal with it (same as with the other "public offices" that are trying to sweep this under the carpet)......I will reach a time where the new guy just wants to make a name for him/her self...a new broom sweeps cleanest.

You can't choose who you are.....but you are the sum of your choices.......

The link below doesn't work but if you google it, it is on the TV 3 website......


Interesting what the news clip says about the 38 and 53 year old facing a tribunal......I was 38 and face a charge for the chipshop......no one else has faced a charge for the explosion at a hearing.....Darnley was facing a charge, but it disappeared....

Listen to what the news segment says about dodgy certs and dangerous work....

So where did the charge go for Darnley? Remember this letter below........

Just watching Paul Henery on TV 3......

Nick Smith just said that his main concern is to remove the bureaucratic red tape to allow the housing market to become affordable...........

How about removing ridiculous CPD, illegal taking of money from tradies ($2 000 000), cover ups, corruption and incompetence along with the red tape.

Most of all prevent the monopoly being set up in the Plumbing industry, where if your connected you can get away with all sorts of dangerous work and if you speak out about it you can be framed and set up. This is worse because as well as causing unnecessary cost it puts the public at risk at the same time.

Just to keep all this together I have copied this comment to this thread, because I can send the link to as many people as I can, with over 7000 reads this seems to work, two things I can not abide are bullies and hypocrites I have encountered more than my fair share.....


How can we rely on an Ombudsman who appears to be so selective, he also wrote this below, but after receiving this email attached and all the evidence posted on here, he decided to use his discretion not to look at how I was investigated.....

 
 
First, what do I mean by evidence? My Oxford English dictionary tells me that the word comes via Old French from the Latin evidentia, meaning ‘obvious to the eye or mind’ – from videre, to see. This is revealing, since one of the most common criticisms of medical (or gas ?) regulators when a licensed doctor has harmed patients, is that the board turned a ‘blind eye’ to the available evidence.
 
And from another paper….
 
 
Finding effective ways to raise concerns within the health (or may be gas?) system is a particular concern. Too often, health professionals (or may be gasfitters?) who attempt to do so lack institutional support and are met by denial and resistance. Even external inquiry bodies learn to expect re-litigation of findings by interested parties, denigration by critics, and revisionism by subsequent commentators who did not hear all the evidence and sometimes seem wilfully blind to it!

* My additions in brackets.




It appears that the Ombudsman is there for damage control not fairness, fairness denied to the plumbers of this country....why not change the law to make it all legal.....oh wait there they did that to take 2 million dollars off us.......that's fair!

Sent earlier today, I will let you know how I go.....




Dear Ombudsman,

 

I am appealing the use by Mr Patterson of using “discretion” in ignoring how I was, to use the term loosely, “investigated”, more a kin to being framed and set up as scape goat.

 

 

Please can you tell me why you think it is helpful to ignore such blatant evidence and please do this in light of your comments below,

And this comment not attributable to you

 

An abuse of discretion is a failure to take into proper consideration the facts and law relating to a particular matter; an arbitrary or unreasonable departure from precedent and settled judicial custom."[8] On appeal of an exercise of judicial discretion, "abuse of discretion" is a standard of review requiring the appellate court to find that the lower court's decision would "shock the conscience" of a reasonable person in order to reverse the decision below.

 

 

 

 

Yours Sincerely Paul Gee

If nothing is done I will wait until the new replacement is in office and ask the incumbent to look at it, and keep doing it until someone takes this up.....

So the Ombudsman appears not to think Plumbers need any fairness, I wonder if we have any human rights......see below






Hi Ataraiti,

 

Supplementary to my previous email sent tonight, to back my story there is a stream on a “Plumbers forum” where I have shown some of the ignored and suppressed evidence.

 

I believe I was entitled to a fair unbiased investigation and hearing, but I was set up and an attempt to frame me was carried out. The Board had a history of a 100% conviction rate previous to my case and I don’t believe they expected me to fight this as I have. I think this is shown by the fact that no one to this day has been held responsible for a near fatal explosion, but I have lost my business, reputation and time with my family when I was forced to work away to support them for two years.

 

I believe my wife had her human rights denied her when they sent to my home child sexual abuse cases notes to prove their point on probabilities, my wife opened and read them as they were not marked of their vile content, they sent three cases to prove a point all three were of a deviant sexual nature, this caused my wife a huge amount of stress and upset.

 

I believe a citizen of this country, any country, deserve a unbiased “trial” and not to have their families terrorised by a government backed industry board.

 

The link to the evidence posted on the “Plumber’s forum” is below,

Thank you I look forward to your reply

 

Best Regards Paul Gee.

To the 28 guests, please leave a comment I am trying to open a discussion in an open forum whether it is acceptable for an innocent man who warned about dodgy work covered by dodgy safety gas certificates, issued by a government industry board, that ended in an explosion.....the industry board who had to add a disclaimer to these certs because of their incompetence.....then appoints than investigator who gave a license to the man they are protecting...........

Confusing I know, please take the time to read this thread and look at the evidence.

These people nearly gave my wife and I a nervous breakdown while they pontificate about public safety, when it is them who placed the public in harms way, especially after handing out a gas fitting licence flippantly to an un scrupulous connected person.

Please make this go viral and share share share, thank you.

The Ombudsman who's mantra is " fairness for all "......has used discretion not to look at it, he took 2 years to tell me this....


Lets see what the human rights commission thinks of my human rights....

Are Plumbers inhuman??????????.....if you treat people as though they are inhuman, they tend to act like they are inhuman.

From the attached government fact sheet.....


The Office of the Ombudsman can also look into complaints about corrupt behaviour.


So I wonder why he used his power of discretion not to look at my huge body of evidence...

You'll notice the Robbo that the apparent apparent ‘special’ treatment that has been meted out to me (in a persecution-ary way) and to Darnley  (in a protection-ary) way is undeniable.

The thing is..... in a system like this not one of us can be sure of a fair go or justice, you can only live in the hope that the bullies don't come after you. This is unacceptable.
