Why won't they talk to me directly......apparently I have no voice unless I can afford a lawyer, if I was on the dole or a rapist/murderer I could get legal aid......really?

But because I am a hard working guy who tried to avoid all this by putting public safety before profit, being financially crippled by the PGDB's legal juggernought at a premeditated, prejudiced and biased hearing.....well I got to save for a lawyer.....have a read, sent today......

You guys want to put your business', lives, reputation and faith in these people......good luck with that.....

Martin,




I have just received your letter dated 21 Feb 2017, today being 26 Feb. Thank you.


 

Please in the future can you communicate with me by the modern form of correspondence that is "email", I find that the "snail" mail is just that, and it is my experience that the PGDB have used this as a delay tactic in the past. It is blatant and quite silly.


 

In response to your statements, see attached, with regards to any correspondence between the PGDB and myself. I feel I should point out a few facts for your information....




 


 

The same law firm I engaged before,


 

1. To try and warn about dodgy certs covering dangerous work for 6 years before the explosion. In this instance I did try in person but, just as you are saying, the PGDB would not talk to me directly (perhaps they should have because all this could have been avoided).







AND....




 

2. To fight the premeditated and directed witch-hunt levelled at me and my family by the PGDB.




Well Martin this "highly reputable" law firm cost me (from memory)well in excess of 15k, only to tell me to plead guilty to the 42 charges that even the PGDB found me innocent of...... with the last and final two charges being nothing more than a last grasp by the PGDB to justify spending 220k persecuting me and hold on to their 100% conviction rate, which they openly boasted of.




 

Of Note: the cost of Darnley's investigation was roughly 30k.....(if his % of "costs" recouped are to be believed).










Perhaps if the PGDB had paid a similar amount on both of us, then they would have noticed the evidence that points to Darnley, who faced a charge but had it dissappear. This evidence is still there for those that want to see. Actually most of the damming evidence pointing to Darnley I found going through the PGDB's evidence against me, how does that happen?











 

I have a question and I feel it is a fair question that begs an answer.......








 

Why will you only talk to a lawyer but not to me directly?

Facts are facts, are facts, it matters not who presents them.











 

Please do not insult my integrity by telling me it is for my own good, to ensure that I get a "fair go", this is laughable, and frankly insulting in my experience.


 

Yours with integrity, Paul

I was offered "name suppression" before all this happened and told them to place it somewhere dark....

I went public from day one, as I had nothing to hide.

I believe this offer of being rooted behind closed doors was more in their favour than mine.....


I say to the PGDB and any one that talks to the PGDB please let them know......



You answer my case in a public forum, you answer it to the plumbing industry (it most definitely could be you next guys) so lets see what they say about this, what is their take TO YOU......

I think how they respond reflects their attitude to you, the public and their duty/responsibilities.....



Do you guys think the industry and NZ public are served well by.....well carpet sweeper under'ers.....hiders not show'ers......a cover up or transparency....




Has a tarp thrown over a leak ever permanently fixed a roof?.....it only stops the loss of roof integrity for a limited period......and if it goes unaddressed it ALWAYS makes it a much bigger problem for the future......the longer it is left the bigger the problem.....


As an experienced practical person....I ain't no tarp thrower......but what are the PGDB? Is the new cert system we work under a tarp thrown over a leak......or a proper fix.....

This is the roof you all work under......hope you all got umbrellas.....

From a press release, in the word of someone who had huge access to this body of documents.....




A former chief executive who used "guerrilla tactics" to "go to war" against his employer has failed in his bid to be reinstated.
Philip Routhan was sacked from his role with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board last year after he took more than 4000 documents from the office that he alleged proved his claim of serious irregularities about gas certification.
But the board said the documents also included personal staff files and said Mr Routhan had been abusive to other employees.
At an Employment Relations Authority hearing last month, Mr Routhan said there were potentially hundreds of faulty gas installations in New Zealand that could explode and kill someone.
He said he was asked to lie to Building and Construction Minister Maurice Williamson about safety problems at the request of board chairwoman Hazel Armstrong, a claim she denied.
In his decision, authority member Denis Asher dismissed Mr Routhan's application, stating the board's decision to fire him was one that any fair and reasonable employer would have reached.
"Put simply ... Mr Routhan – the respondent's most senior employee – elected to go to war against his employer," he said.
"There were no proper grounds for him to do so, and his guerrilla tactics in particular were in profound breach of his express obligations to his employer ... his behaviour was bizarre."
The reasons that Mr Routhan gave for taking the documents did not withstand scrutiny and no supporting evidence could be found, Mr Asher said.
His claim that there was a campaign by the board to remove him from his position was not backed by any evidence, he said.
Mr Routhan said he was disappointed in the decision and the authority lacked jurisdiction to consider the public safety issue.
As far as he was aware, nothing had been done to address his concerns about the gas certification failures.
"I would prefer not to be proven right by the loss of innocent lives, or by serious injury to people, or by further damage to property."
He refused to comment directly on the decision because he was considering his options.
Ms Armstrong said she was pleased with the ruling, which vindicated the board's action.
As chief executive and registrar, it was Mr Routhan's responsibility to monitor the process for checking gas certificates and after he left, the board had reviewed all gas certificates.

"We reiterate that Mr Routhan's allegations relating to unsafe gas installations have been fully investigated and discredited and we have confidence in our gas certification processes."





Is this the same certificate system that has now been shown to be so wanting......by my case......


I never I thought I would agree with Routhan but.....

"I would prefer not to be proven right by the loss of innocent lives, or by serious injury to people, or by further damage to property."




It is lost on him though (as it usually is by these types)......he was in charge when all this happened......

And this was before we had a system that any new work doesn't have to be registered anywhere but in the fitters shed...........in a housing shortage of 60,000 new homes............


Am I the only one with a crayon joining these dots?

.

Just so we are clear this cert system mentioned below......well its the one that the PGDB had under their administration.....

You know the one that later had an accuracy disclaimer and in the PGDB's own words they couldn't locate some of the originals.....

The system that the only proof the certificate for the last work at the site of an explosion was received by the PGDB.......

...... was and I quote .......that there was a copy on their register with a "fox-pro" entry date, but apparent from that they never received it...............I kid you not.... 

this cert and many others lacked the gas LEAK test results filled in........yeah that cert system......

Badger, has anyone from the media explained why they cant be arsed in dealing with an injustice? It has become clear that justice is really only for the rich who can foot the bills for expensive lawyers.

Look at the dates....
