Mr Bickers said he did not know Tony Hammond at a meeting in Wellington, he said words to the effect of ....there are over 10 000 members and I don't know him.

Mr Bickers was on my hearing panel......Tony Hammond was the "impartial" investigator......

The Standards New Zealand Meritorious Awards were first
introduced in 2001. SNZ committee members make nominations for
the Meritorious Service Awards. IPENZ recognises the voluntary
commitment involved in producing credible and sound Standards.
"Over 1500 New Zealanders contribute their time and effort to
produce these documents, and what's more, they do so without
payment. It is only fitting then, that they receive recognition for their
outstanding efforts", says SNZ CEO Rob Steele.

Running a course on "the role of the professional witness".......so I take it Mr Bickers you would know the effects on fairness if a "impartial" investigator with held photos that a forensic investigator took? Or wrote the statements for people who wouldn't sign them??

Or perhaps it is a course on making a living out of being a witness LOL, doing it professionally, like perhaps a golfer going pro.....

The people we talk about who read this site can suck my balls...thats what I think about that. Get the visual picture and enjoy it,thats what its all about.

For more proof see attachments, the overseer and chair of my hearing was Stephen Parker.........and the "impartial" investigator was Tony Hammond....

Now the faces are the same, see photos....the both managed the Kennedy Trust together and were on the Secretariat for GANZ together.

Is it OK for this to happen?
