Partner of Karangahake Gorge man [Assassinated] by police accuses cops of withholding information

Now, his partner, Natalie Avery, has spoken to the Herald to raise concerns over her dealings with police over the last eight months.

Chinese driver who killed motorcyclist seeks home detention instead of prison

Inexperienced Chinese driver Jieling Xaio was jailed for 17 months in February after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death.

“Xiao came to New Zealand on a 12-month working visa. As the holder of a Chinese drivers licence, she had been entitled to drive for up to a year in this country but had never driven on an open road at speeds of more than 50kmh.”

Her driving was described as “grossly incompetent” by a racist judge, who then sentenced her to a 17-month prison term in June.

The District Court Judge Bridget Mackintosh has consistently been more lenient on white offenders throughout her disgraceful career.

Xaio’s lawyer says the judge’s decision to jail her for causing the fatal crash was “manifestly excessive” because the crash happened as a result of the woman’s inexperience on New Zealand roads – rather than “overt dangerous driving.”

However, the racist judge had cited the need for making an example out of her by handing down a custodial sentence rather than imposing home detention.

The victim, Tauranga motorcyclist Rhys Middleton, 23, was killed in the tragic accident on the Napier-Taupo Road in February.

Top photographer killed in crash

A Chinese national has been charged with causing the crash which killed Dunedin photographer Riley Baker, 26.

“Limin Ma, 41, of Shanghai, was granted a registrar’s adjournment when the matter was called in the Dunedin District Court this morning.”

Mr Baker was fatally injured when the motorcycle he was riding collided with the car driven by Limin Ma, 41, of Shanghai, on State Highway 1, in East Otago, about 4.30pm on Saturday.

Mr Baker was taken to Dunedin Hospital in a critical condition and died as a result of his injuries on Monday.

The racist judges can lock up all the incompetent Chinese drivers who set foot in this country, but shouldn’t they also hold the government accountable for the tragic road killings?

Why do the authorities allow incompetent people, foreign and domestic, or those driving under the influence roam our deadly roads?

[Why do the authorities consistently fail to protect us? Moderator K.]

Kiwis’ vetting information readily available to anyone, thanks to SIS

Kiwis’ private information, demanded by SIS for security clearances, not secure!!

“About 5000 people a year fill out forms which could include highly intrusive and private details about themselves to the Government, relating to sexuality, social habits, health, finances, religion and political affiliations.”

However, a review of the SIS has revealed the vetting information demanded for security clearances is not secure.

“I found electronic records for the largest category of clearance holders and candidates were accessible at any time to [at the very least] 60 or so staff who carry out security clearances,” said Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Cheryl Gwyn.

“Under standard data protection requirements, staff should have access only to files that they are working on and only while those files are active.”

She also found that some private information was being used for “other purposes”.

Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei said the SIS was acting outside their own policy.

“While it is good the SIS have accepted the recommendations of the IGIS, it is frankly farcical how often the SIS break their own rules,” she said.

“The SIS’s inability to comply with their own rules is the reason why they should not be getting any more powers.”
