You have previously acknowledged that Wells is a colleague of yours from advertising days, You worked together on the labour campaign that got the Kirk government into power.
Neil Wells Managed to get approval for his non existent organisation when you were president of the Labour party .
It appears to me that you either trust him so much you cannot see the reality with regard to AWINZ which he controls and contracts to as Animal welfare manager or you know more and just wish this would go away.
The OECD defines contracting under these circumstances as Corruption , but it is good to see that Waitakere City condones such practices. In any case making an application to the minister with false information is surely not something to be defended? And why was I sued for questioning the false application , our courts are full of lesser people who have been charged and sentenced for making false claims in applications to the government , why is this one different?
I wish I had known that you condoned this practice before I asked questions about it. My Battles began when I was sued for defamation and prevented me form having a defence of truth , my battle was to prevent the loss of the vast sums money which I have had to pay to defend myself against the action he took against me using charitable funds ( being public donations from the residents of Waitakere ) This is called Slapp action overseas where there is legislation to protect whistle blowers.
I realise a lot of covering up has occurred and I also realise that to expose the true extent of this corruption will take many others with it so the old boys have to work together to keep that woman quite.
The fact that my family has been torn apart and I have lost everything I held dear only encourages me to speak out about this injustice , I have nothing to fear Bob you have helped and supported this process which has taken everything I valued from me. I have nothing else to lose .
I will not stand by and see this happen to any one else, too many people in Waitakere city council have lost their jobs over this, it is time that the corruption in your city is exposed. Your HR department has made good use of confidentiality agreements .. I am certain that AWINZ is but the tip of the iceberg.
What this proves is that in New Zealand we keep our least Corrupt status by silencing those who question corruption .
Bob – Mayors should not be seen to condone corruption. Corruption exists in new Zealand it will only flourish if it is condoned. I will post this and your reply on my blog https://anticorruptionnz.wordpress.com

Grace Haden
