Just came across this in my garage, it is an anniversary mug, handed out at work when I worked for Allgas back in 2003 (I blanked out the very large gas supplier's name and motif with black insulation tape).

Now this is the type of person who the PGDB are covering up for, his nick name to all the employee's was "Porn Dad".....I asked why and was told it was because he had a huge television.....WTF, was my reply.

A bobtail full of LPG rolls and a year later they are still laughing about it, believe me it was very funny to them when they were handing these mugs out.....I thought I had landed in a very surreal episode of the Beverly hill billy's (it was a family run business).

ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS TO THIS GUY.....BUT THE BOARD IGNORES IT AND ACTUALLY LET THE CHARGE HE FACED FOR THE NEAR FATAL EXPLOSION.....JUST DISSAPPEAR....POOF....ALL UP IN AN CLOUD OF DUST (AND DEBRIS...OH AND A GUYS CHIP SHOP).

hi guys, badger, so why would we want the pgd.board to take charge of the gas cert system again?, cheers

hi guys, badger the new gas cert system could have been secure if the present organization who control it would have only issued certs to authorized gasfitters by having a list of tradesmen who should be carrying out the work, it would have been such a simple addition to the rules, where was the thinking when the great minds altered the system, cheers 

And this very crap gas SAFETY (LOL) cert system.........is being used extensively in peoples homes as we speak.

Where new installs are not classed as high risk and so need no records kept, except the copies kept by gasfitters in his office/house .....is being used in a housing shortage....with lots and lots of new installs.............


How on earth are the powers that be keeping tabs on this....how do you audit/check the work.....unless you give them full access to your records/documents, it will be a case of the fitter pulling out his best work to show the auditor......oh wait there..... there is no auditor......it is a shambles.

Someone could be fitting industrial package burners in peoples bedrooms and then keep their certs in a wine box in their garage......no one would be any the wiser......until someone gets hurt......

It is batshit crazy.....

The new cert system has no worth in incident prevention and has a very limited value as an traceability/accountability tool.....its just really very shit.

.

Here is Tony lobbying for deregulation, which resulted in the self cert system, which failed miserably.....

You'll notice the dates and his list of affiliations on the back.....

Also attached is Darnley resigning from NZ Institute of Gas Engineers, the month after the explosion.....co-incidence?

We complained about all this at the so called impartiality hearing.............

Perhaps this is why Darnley could face a charge for the explosion........but it disappeared.....see attached...

So John Darnley resigns from the NZIGE the very next month after the explosion, and appointed to investigate this explosion, is Tony Hammond, who was a member (fellow even) of the NZIGE...... is appointed to investigate.......

Tony the guy who gifted John his full craftsman license after one oral exam and it was Tony who lobbied for deregulation/self certification.....

Now Peter Jackson and Graham Hardie were heavily involved in my case...I complained about these blatant clash of interests to these people......I also complained about Stephen Parkers ties to Hammond.....

What happened......well the still appointed Tony Hammond as the investigator and Stephen Parker as the chair of my hearing.....



After it was shown to be bullshit at my hearing(clearing 42 out of 44 charges), some stopped working at the Board....... BUT.......


Look at who's still running the PGDB......who is now the chair and vice chair?


Anything changed?.......Peter Jackson and Graham Hardie....well they are chair and vice chair......









....

If you are really bored, have a read of the actual kangaroo court I was subjected to....you'll find in here, amongst other crap....

......another fraud un-earthed, people making statements like....well if I'd been shown these photos I would never have signed my statement (most if not all statements were kindly prepared for people to sign, and they were given the impression that I was illegally selling certs in Northland, this was rescinded some many months later, I will explain this one separately as it is quite complex).

......my answers to the 44 trumped up charges.....like where the investigator swears that the install hadn't changed since I had worked there.......even though a cert was issued for work done days before his site visit....

.....the dodgy investigator admitting that if I had complied with the mandatory part one, then the non mandatory part two was irrelevant....as its a means of compliance.....this is the only charge they "got me for"......but later ignored and told an elderly couple to shut their window when using the gas califont.....

.....the hearing being shut down as I was about to go 100% innocent, shut down by the dodgy investigator's buddy who was chairing the hearing


These are just the low lights there is much much more, even a bit of humour with my answers.....like I said if your bored and got some time to see what you could be subjected to have a gander......remember most people just plead guilty because of the threat of a fine and costs......my principles would not allow me to plead guilty to something I had tried to warn about for 6 years before the explosion...NEARLY KILLLED SOMEONE......and no-one has been held accountable to this day, but there is ample and obvious evidence of who is responsible........


Still think the new crew can be trusted.......just a clean up crew I reckon......helping cover it all up......dodgy, at a risk to the NZ public it is deplorable and disgusting.

All in the minister who is responsible for our portfolio's back yard in the homes of the people who he is supposed to represent and protect.......reprehensible!

This muppet, that to this day still goes protected by the PGDB......worked for decades in Nelson, gifted a full gas certifying license after one chat with the same guy who was appointed as the dodgy investigator years later......this work is still out there......FOR  f****S SAKE!

Now see that diagram below of where the water is stored in the rads by the Thermostatic Rad Valves (TRV's)....all summer......but then open in winter......for the stagnant water out of the shower rose....all atomised ready to breath in......
