Just got my report for the "re-training" that the Board prescribed as my "rehabilitation".....so I sent Max an email just today...corrupt and nepotistic tossers got to go, no credabiltiy and I know what people I know call those that take money illegally.... theives.



Max,

 

Please see copy of the report, which I passed with a 90% pass rate. You will notice it is an assessment. I didn’t study for it either. The assessor actually said I was in the top 10% of people he had ever assessed.

 

Now when you add this to my 95% innocence at the Board’s kangaroo court, presided over by Stephen Parker (GANZ, Kennedy trust, NZIGE) who is the good friend of Tony Hammond, also of GANZ, Kennedy trust, NZIGE and actually nominated for the co-authorship of the contradictory NZ5261 by GANZ. The same kangaroo court attended by Allan Bickers on the panel who is a member of IPENZ along with Mr Hammond. And with the British Standard blowing the other 5% of charges out the window, which was ignored by the Board’s panel, where the only other certifying gasfitter in the room was the Board’s Scottish member Mr Hardie. You got to admit that the Board got it so very wrong.

 

Do you Allan Bickers feel I lack knowledge in the fundamentals of my trade? I think you should review your course on the “role of the expert witness”,look at conflicts of interest for example and perhaps ethics.

 

Well I don’t know how you feel about it all, but I feel a bit miffed by the Board’s mis-spending of $200 000.00 to persecute me (using illegally gained funds) and ignoring some real important issues that were raised at my hearing….and still you haven’t looked at these issues or investigated them. Isn’t fraud an offence? I tried to warn about all this years before the explosion.

 

How do you rate the Board’s competency Max? Some CPD in ethics might not be a bad idea.

 

 

This is far from over for me, I have only just started trying to get this looked at, I asked you a long time ago Max, are you willing to fall on your sword for the wrong doings of your predecessors?

 

Now, do us all a favour….. so I can run an advert so as I can feed my family. Just two questions for you Max……

 

 

Where is my apology for the defamatory letters sent by that incompetent Kern Uren, the ones that ruined my business, it has been months and months since Helen Cull found in my favour?
 

 

Can I uplift my licences this year? Yes or No. You have all you need for an answer right in front of you, in this email. As you like to rush things along, as in what the Board have done to legalise their illegality, I can expect an answer in the morning?
 

 

Oh by the way…… every one I have asked, and there are a lot, politicians included, have without exception said that the Board’s views on the ethics behind sending child sexual abuse case notes to my home, unmarked so as my wife read them, well deplorable and despicable and nothing short of warped…..one said he was surprised I hadn’t gone postal over it. I just replied that I never would because of my wife.

 

See you at the public enquiry.

News Flash  A very informative ending.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A bus ride into New York City turned into a horror show for passengers suddenly swarmed by an invasion of cockroaches that forced the driver to pull over and evacuate the vehicle.

Cockroaches began emerging about 15 minutes after the bus departed from Atlantic City, New Jersey, last Friday morning, a  spokesman said.

The driver soon pulled over and the 48 passengers scuttled off the infested bus to wait for a replacement vehicle.
Cell phone photos showing armies of cockroaches scampering over the seats and floor were posted by local media outlets, supplied by passengers on the bus.

"We apologise for this inconvenience and have spoken with each passenger regarding this incident," Tim Plunger, a spokesman for a the bus company said.

"Currently, our team is investigating the situation. We can inform our valued customers it was not cockroaches but Maurice Williamson and the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board from New Zealand attempting to escape extermination in their own country. New Zealand MAF has been contacted regarding its lapse of security protocols.

The company said it had refunded the passengers' fares and that they arrived without further incident in New York City in the afternoon.

Does Williamson think hes smarter tan the Ombudsman?  From NZ Herald today:

Williamson snubs OmbudsmanBy Adam Bennett Email Adam 5:30 AM Tuesday Mar 19, 2013

Building and Construction Minister Maurice Williamson has thumbed his nose at public watchdog the Ombudsman by refusing to refund hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegally gathered industry levies to plumbers and other tradespeople.

Mr Williamson is already under fire for fast-tracking legislation to retrospectively legalise the collection of the money which was used by industry regulator the Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board to chase "cowboys" out of the industry.

But on Friday, the day after Mr Williamson's bill was fiercely debated in Parliament, Ombudsman David McGee released his final opinion and recommendations on a complaint he received about the board's "disciplinary levy".

Mr McGee upheld Wellington plumber Wal Gordon's complaint that the fee was illegal and he estimated the amount illegally collected by the board between July 2010 and January 2012 at $600,000.

Mr McGee recommended that the board should negotiate an arrangement "whereby the excess levies paid could in whole or in part be refunded over a period or some credit could be given in respect of future fee or levy payments in compensation".

But Mr Williamson yesterday dismissed Mr McGee's recommendation.

"I think the Ombudsman's Office is wrong. The board would be technically insolvent if they had to pay this money back," he said.

By Adam Bennett

Williamson's opinion doesn't surprise me - he is backed in to a corner - he's defended this Board time and again when they have made mistakes - he is as invested in them as they are in him - he has no where to go but to fight for them - that or he looks like a failure.  Well if it quacks like a duck and it waddles like a duck - 99% of the time it's a duck.

Big call Mr Williamson to say the Ombudsman got it wrong.  And the RRC got it wrong too?  How about the OAG - wrong as well?  My goodness just as well we have you in Parliament looking after us or where would we all be - because for some strange reason we think you got it wrong - and the rest of these learned people - coupled with some astute plumbers - got it righ

Minister Williamson:  The Ombudsman got it wrong!  YEAH RIGHT
