Here is my reply, to the PGDB's delusional embarrassing reply to the Federations report done into the fiasco of the cover up of a near fatal explosion, my hearing and inquisition (I know how to spell investigation).
I am going to try to load the report, it might not happen in one post, so may have to do in two parts...well it is 138 pages long and shows NINE people "of interest" that these people have ignored (I counted nine, you may find more).
Wal, you are a stalwart of the industry, thank you for doing this for my family and my sanity. I can now prove I did no wrong and direct anyone to how the PGDB fitted me up, protected the guilty and ignored some very serious situations when it suited their agenda. Look who know and look who don't care....well if they do nothing, they can't care......

Subject: RE: OIA request for Handwriting report
Dear All,
I am in receipt of a letter sent by the PGDB to Wal Gordon, the author of the very concise and accurate report attached. The PGDB letter is in reply to that report.
I ask you all if this PGDB reply is acceptable or fair or show even a hint of observance to natural justice.
Is it ok with you…..
• that the attached report indicates NINE possible people “of interest” that the PGDB have totally ignored whilst investigating a near fatal gas explosion? All done whilst protecting the person who most, if not all the evidence points to for being if not responsible, then at the very least involved in the circumstances leading up to that near fatal explosion?
• that the hearing and investigation was blatantly partial and biased whilst withholding and misrepresenting evidence? Nothing was addressed it was merely covered up, whilst ignoring massive conflicts of interest. Please see the unfounded comments from PGDB in their attached letter. Please compare the contents of the report to the reply. The reply is nothing short of deluded. I would be embarrassed to put my name to such an unfounded blatantly untrue letter.
• that a handwriting report was withheld, only seen very recently after an OIA request. This PGDB request for a $2400.00 handwriting report (which later showed doubts over my involvement)… despicably and very deviously utilised one of my many warning letters as a handwriting sample. Done to try to pin these very certificates (that I was warning about) on me via my signature, whilst ignoring a lot of unreliable information on those certificates.
• that my appeal in the high court was effectively shut down and restricted to an incorrect measurement that has since been proven to be correct. Done whilst ignoring a massive submission of my concerns to that court. Taking this last set of 2 charges into account with the 42 answered charges (out of 44 charges laid) then I did absolutely nothing wrong….even by the reckoning of the biased PGDB kangaroo court.
• that the PGDB relied on child molestation case notes to prove a point on probabilities in a gas/plumbing context. Opened by my wife and taken as a threat, just before we lost our home?
• that we as a country are now lumbered with a much more inferior system of gas certificates in a housing shortage. We have lost all the honesty mechanisms that showed the real offenders actions and the PGDB’s incompetence and mismanagement. We are as a country less served by this new system, is this ok? We are yet to see the repercussions of this, the unregistered and dangerous work is being installed as you read this letter…..what will your legacy be?
• that I lost my trade, our home and business and reputation? After warning, for 6 years before the explosion, that a situation was present that could cause that very explosion?
I literally could go on and on about how despicable and corrupt the system and process my family were subjected to but ask that just the points above be addressed.
Most of you copied in claim to be upholders of law, ethics and have the health and safety of the NZ people first and foremost in your thoughts and actions; please can someone look into this travesty?
The PGDB have closed ranks in this letter and refuse to talk to me. In my opinion an admission of guilt, if their ever was one. If someone claimed any of this against me and I was in the right….I would never ignore it, I would clear my name regardless. Just as I intend to do.
You can’t argue with corruption, only against it.
The attached PGDB letter of reply shows how deluded the PGDB are in their power, empowered in their impunity by people who just sit back and watch it happen.
Of Note: The warning letter (attached) was a warning made about unreliable certificates covering dangerous altered gasfitting work that could hurt someone. The explosion at the chipshop involved a very unreliable certificate 345138, covering a site of much altered gas work, which then exploded and hurt someone. This unreliable certificate claimed never to have been received by the PGDB. Ironically, there is a copy on their website and is mentioned by number in the DOL letter of complaint that initiated this fiasco. All available electronic copies and carbon copies missing a record of a test for gas leaks, at a site that exploded due to a gas leak, issued by a man gifted his license by the PGDB after one oral exam. This oral exam held by the same man later appointed by the PGDB to investigate the explosion…..natural justice? My warnings could not have been better tailored, did I deserve to be singled out as a scapegoat?
You seriously have to ask….
1. How does a certificate get entered on the PGDB website if it was never received by the PGDB? (this denial is what the lawyer for the blast victim was told, while the blast victim lay in a two week drug induced coma)
2. How would the PGDB look if they had accepted this unreliable certificate, that lacked a record of a test for leaks for a site that later exploded? All done after ignoring my warnings about unreliable certificates covering dangerous altered work. This is I believe the reason of singling me out as a scapegoat, two birds with one stone so to speak.
3. How would the PGDB look if that unreliable cert was issued by a person who the PGDB gifted a full certifying license to, with no formal apprenticeship served, after just one oral exam? Issued for a site that nearly killed someone.
4. How would the PGDB look if they appointed as an investigator for that near fatal explosion, the very same ex-PGDB member who held that one oral exam?
My Grandmother had a saying when she caught someone being dishonest……”Now we both know what you are”……. this is so very relevant to me and this ridiculous reply from the PGDB.
ALL DONE AT A VERY REAL RISK TO THE NZ PEOPLE’S HEALTH AND SAFETY, EVEN THEIR LIVES.
My conscience is clear; I have tried to do the right thing by the Kiwi general public for near 14 years, at a huge cost to my family. The ball is in the court of you that receive payment to manage and report these things for the betterment of the average Kiwi.
My account is paid in full; I only have change to give.
Yours with Integrity
Paul Gee

Subject: FW: OIA request for Handwriting report
Martin,
Thank you for the recent handwriting report, attached…..please can you explain the ethics of the PGDB using one of my warning letters, attached (a letter warning about dodgy certs covering dangerous gas work) which was sent 5 years before an explosion nearly killed someone.
This letter was used by the PGDB as a reference document for a handwriting report (a very directed and focused report only on me only, done well before BOTH mine and Darnley’s hearing) ….trying to pin that explosion on me. Really? Using my warning to try to implicate me for what I was warning about? Then withholding that report, not divulging it until now, after an OIA request?
Why wasn’t any of Darnley’s handwriting/doc’s reviewed….like the cert for the pizza oven (which the PGDB lost) or the actual job card that shows Darnley’s hand for the addition of the fryers that caused the explosion.
The use of this letter is nearly as bad as relying on child molestation case notes to prove probability in a plumbing context, nearly!
All the evidence is here for those who want to look in the email below and evidence attached.
While I have your ear, I am yet to hear from you about the gas caused fire in Nelson where I asked the question in an email, quoted below, on the 20th Jan 2018.
How many fires caused by a gas leak were there in Nelson on that date? This should narrow it down for you…..if there was no investigation (similar to mine) then why not? It made the Notifiable gas accidents report from Energy Safety attached, emphasis on notifiable. The reference I sent in early December was taken from this report.
I have also just recently found out from someone I trust, that Darnley….who most if not all evidence points to for the Milton Street explosion, and is probably involved in the fire above (please can you confirm)….that the reason he was visited (and as a result gifted his full certifying gas license by Hammond with no apprentice sat after one oral exam, by none other than the same Hammond appointed to investigate the explosion)……well he was making up his own certs….on an exemption license….whilst selling gas….(Hammond also lobbied for deregulation form a gas retailers point of view). Confused? Call me on it….I’ll fly up and walk you through the huge amount of evidence.
So to recap…..
1. Please explain the ethics on utilising my warning to try to pin the signature on me for the dodgy certs.
2. Confirm who caused the fire.
3. Was Darnley issuing his own certs
4. Why are you protecting this man
I have copied in a few PGDB email addresses as I want this email tabled to the PGDB board at its next meeting. I want the perpetual Board take ownership of this debacle, not sweep it under the carpet.
You talk about trust and integrity you inherit the past and leave a legacy for the future with your present.
Injustice is corrupting if it is accepted....even if it is ignored…… it eats away at integrity, opening the doors to the dismantlers of good, just like rust corrupting the integrity of an otherwise strong steel durable structure.....its no plan for the future.
This is why we don't use this as a template for ongoing success, history tells us corruption ultimately fails and causes chaos.
Yours With Integrity
Paul Gee
