You might want to read the attachment, the shear amount of times I have raised this is crazy.......but the PGDB won't even look at it...........why is that?


Oh I don't know......check out the certifier.......a guy given his full certifying license for gas, with a dispensation to fit water heaters.......with no frickin apprenticeship  that's who.....the same guy who got off with a charge for the explosion, when all the evidence points to him......that's who....


LOL look at the cert with two different colour inks on it.......just like the one that covered the explosion and a load of others......

While we are waiting for a reply on whether the PGDB are going to look at a potentially very dangerous install, lets have a look at the apology that they issued over 2 years after my hearing where, in their own words, the letters sent to all the other sites of my charges, could have given the impression I was acting illegally in other parts of the country.

Which in my opinion prejudiced every single site (ALL 6) of my 44 trumped up charges, but they waited 3 and half years to apologise, the untrue letters were sent in Oct 2009, my hearing was in May 2011 and the apology came out April 2013....my business was already totally shut down by the Motueka High School letter.  Motueka was my main place of business. How can you get 44 charges out of just 6 sites (7 including the exploding chip shop).....well they had back up charges if I could answer the initial charges.....

They changed the charges just weeks before the hearing.....I answered them too.....

I might add the apology says Nelson.....well not just in Nelson, they even got that wrong, because it was from Haverlock to the West Coast AND Nelson....even the local High school in Motueka which was the main centre of business of my business....basically the far reaches of my business and everything in between.....

In my book an untruth, in such circumstances........well I'll let you all think what that is.....


Of note the guy who signed the apology.......was on my panel for my hearing and witnessed everything.....



I stall get asked, quite regularly, oh your the guy who blew up the chipshop......then I tell them the story and they are aghast......surely that doesn't happen here.......well yes it f****ing does......

Over the last 7 soon 8 years I have worked from place to place, like a fugitive, working to feed my family.....out of trade sometimes, mostly away from home, can't sell my home because its not finished, you know the place my missis had to live in for 14 weeks in a winter.....in a caravan(because the house was derelict), with no running water or a flushing toilet.

Why?......I think because I tried to warn about the dodgy certs covering dangerous work, then everything I had warned about came to pass in the worst possible way.....




.
Is it wrong for me to want my life back?


.


.

You think things have changed since this......well when this was going on Graham Hardy (at both my hearings, impartiality and actual hearing) and Peter Jackson (at my impartiality hearing), well these two who witnessed most if not everything that happened......


Well back then they weren't the vice chair and chair of the PGDB......BUT THEY ARE NOW.....after standing back and witnessing all this corruption levelled at me and my family......they got f****ing promoted....... 

So while the investigator had in his possession the 127 photos that showed what I was saying.....

Well lets look at the words of the investigator......be saw cert 345138, this is for the last work done by Darnley at the exploding chip shop.....all available copies lack any registered/documented tests for leaks.......he says he saw the original, but the Board deny ever having receiving it, but there is an electronic copy on their now defunct electronic register....

Cert 345138 is actually mentioned in the DOL complaint.....this DOL complaint is the entire basis for the witch-hunt levelled at me by the PGDB.....

But lets let Mel tell you in her own words, these are what the PGDB told the chip-shop owners lawyer......while the poor bugger was laying in a burns unit.......

.......and the present PGDB CEO.......well does he want to look at the dangerous central heating listed below??


Well lets see how much has really changed, I will judge by his reply, which I will share with you all......

here is something new, that I have literally just noticed....its crazy how if you look into this it just keeps on giving.


This is a Nelson Mail article, my business was already totally f****ed and shut down......but look at the time line on the bottom......the Dept of Labour issues a hazard alert, well before my hearing I have just seen this today.....WHAT THE ACTUAL f****!






Gasfitter cleared of blame over blast

A Takaka gasfitter has been cleared of industry charges relating to a near-fatal explosion at Nelson's Milton Street Fish and Chip shop, but the fallout continues.

Paul Gee has had to leave his family to obtain work outside the region as a result of the charges against him, and the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Federation is now calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the industry's governing body.

The Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board yesterday cleared Mr Gee on 42 of the 44 particulars in the two charges brought against him for his work at seven properties in Nelson, Marlborough and Westport between May 2003 and June 2006.

The charges stemmed from an investigation into the Milton St explosion, but the board found that his work at this site was not contrary to regulations.

Mr Gee did not respond to calls from the Nelson Mail today but issued a statement saying the victory was bittersweet.

"I am happy that 42 of the 44 particulars of offence were not established, but I'm shattered it has cost me over two years of my life, my business, my reputation and now my chosen place of residence," he said.

"I have had to leave the Nelson area to get work to support my family. Being separated from my family is devastating for us all, but in particular my two young boys."

His advocate, North Island plumbing businessman and federation spokesman Wal Gordon, said Mr Gee had been working in New Plymouth for about two months.

"What Mr Gee and his family have endured is a sad indictment on the process imposed on the industry by the Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying Board," he said. "It displays an attitude of conquest by intimidation and force."

Although three people on the board vacated their positions yesterday, nothing would change with their replacements, he said.

The federation, representing 722 people, had started a petition for a Royal Commission of Inquiry, he said.

"It's off the back of everything the board's been doing. This [judgement] is just another cog in the wheel."

Mr Gordon said they were still seeking legal advice on whether to appeal the two particulars that Mr Gee was found guilty of. These related to his work at 6 Malvern Ave, Atawhai.

Penalties are yet to be decided.

The board did not respond to a request for comment before the Nelson Mail went to print today but said it would be releasing a statement this afternoon.

MILTON ST GAS EXPLOSION TIME LINE

April 2009 - An explosion at the Milton St Fish and Chip shop causes widespread damage and severely injures owner Ron Clark.
 
     
October 2009 - The shop reopens. It has since been bought by new owners.

February 2010 - The Department of Labour issues a Hazard Alert, saying the explosion was caused by a lack of appliance but that anomalies in the gasfitting certification could have alerted the owners to substandard workmanship.

November 2010 - Industry charges are laid against Takaka gasfitter Paul Gee.

May 2011 - The charges against Mr Gee are heard in Nelson.

July 2011 - The board finds Mr Gee not guilty on 42 of the 44 particulars in the charges against him.

Now have a look at the press release by the Board, where they say I referred to myself as a mere plumber, which they could never show me where I had said this.......

Now when you read the Nelson Mail article shown below dated 12/7/2011 you'd think I was innocent.....

But the PGDB's lust for my blood is shown in the press release dated on the same day.....


This mere plumber comment was never said by me, but lets let Mel tell you how they came about by this.....

Hi Wal
 
I can’t speak for the Board however, I understood that the phrase was not so much attributable to Mr Gee but rather an encapsulation of comments made by Mr Gee at the hearing (such as those at pages 353, 359, 396, & 404 of the transcript).
 
Again, this is only my inference and should be in no way taken as speaking for the Board.  I would suggest you raise this issue specifically in your penalty submissions should you wish the Board to address this matter formally.
 
Regards

These comments she mentions are when I was trying to tell the Board that I was the employee, not the boss.....when it is read in context.....which the PGDB apparently can't don't do.....hmmmmm.

Of note this very very bad bad behaviour attributed to me by the PGDB in my last charge.......well some months later they told an elderly couple to close the window when using their califont, this califont was even nearer than the one I installed.


It was nothing short of character assassination.....which The Ombudsman has no problem with whatsoever.....



.

So they can't find some certs....then they can after I photograph the suppliers copies and send them to them......funny that.
