To The Privacy Commissioner, Ombudsmen and Diane Swan's supervisor/manager:
Formal Complaint:
Regarding the orchestrated litany of lies regarding my complaints about the South End School.
I insist that you copy the numbered, chronological account of events listed in my email to your office, which refers to the conversation with the deputy principal after xxx initiated communication about the matter by telling me about the staff representative's notes, and XXXXXX’s conversation with the staff representative to the BoT, and the principal, and ask XXXXXX to confirm or deny each numbered point -immediately - this matter involves the safety of children and it is completely unacceptable that Diane Swan is deliberately lying, and deliberately delaying and hindering this investigation - she should have sought this information from Powell when she was first asked to do so A YEAR AGO. Swan knows perfecty well that O'Leary is deliberately lying, O'Leary is lying about any meeting with me prior to the writing of the letter, and by concealing the many written complaints from parents about the way he and the Board have treated me, and denying the existence of these complaints and the staff reps notes of the meeting at which it was decided to write the letter - provide this information WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.

Further to my previous email - The Deputy Principal’s email is: "XXXXXXXXX" hurry up and obtain a written response from xxx to my account of events.

Today I received the latest orchestrated litany of lies from Diane Swan who is sucking up tax payers money deliberately corrupting this pathetic excuse for an investigation. Diane Swan, and other corrupt public servants like her, should be sacked without delay for the effect of their corruption on communities like ours.
The evidence speaks for itself, the meeting with O'Leary was a result of the letter I received, not the cause of the letter being sent, O'LEARY IS LYING. WE JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR TWO FACED LIAR O'LEARY TO GET UP ON THE STAND AND SWEAR ON OATH TO THIS PACK OF BLATANTLY OBVIOUS LIES! I INTEND TO CALL A WITNESS WHO WILL ATTEST TO THE DEFAMATORY REMARKS MADE TO HIM BY O'LEARY WHEN THE WITNESS COMPLAINED TO O'LEARY VERBALLY ABOUT THE MATTER IN MAY OR JUNE 2009, WHEN O'LEARY TOLD THE WITNESS THAT "THE POLICE HAVE HARD EVIDENCE AGAINST KATE OF CHILD ABUSE AND ARE GOING TO BE CHARGING HER ANY DAY" - WHICH WAS AN ABSOLUTE AND DELIBERATE SLANDEROUS LIE!
O'LEARY AND DIANE SWAN AND GAVIN KENNEDY ARE LIARS, AND ARE ALL BEING PAID OUT OF THE PUBLIC TROUGH - THIS HAS TO STOP RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE PUBLISHING THEIR NASTY, VICIOUS, DESTRUCTIVE LIES FOR ALL TO SEE - THIS IS WHO IS TEACHING YOUR KIDS - THEIVES, BULLIES AND CORRUPT LIARS.
THE REASON FOR IT ALL IS POLITICAL MOTIVATION - OLEARY AND KENNEDY WANT TO GET THEIR SNOUTS IN THE TROUGH TOO, THEY SEE THEMSELVES (LIKE TERE TOREA) AS "COMMUNITY LEADERS". WELL THEY ARE NOT, THEY ARE CORRUPT, THEY ARE LIARS, THEIVES AND BULLIES.
HERE'S THE EVIDENCE OF IT, RECEIVED TODAY:
25 May 2010
Dear Ms Raue
Please find attached the documents as provided to us by South End School.
The School says this consists of a copy of an email sent to Carterton Police forming part of the evidence in Mr O'Leary's complaint against you; a copy of one letter from parents regarding you; and a copy of the Board of Trustees reply to the [PARENTS WHO WROTE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES]. The School says that there is only one letter it has received from parents.
I have also included a copy of your email to Mr O'Leary sent on 3 September 2009 in which you said (at paragraph 3 on the first page) that you had met with Mr O'Leary.
Hard copies of the attachments will be posted to the address you provided (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX).
The School has advised me that it does not hold any further records or information about you so there does not appear to be anything further for this Office to investigate. You requested copies of your personal information from the School and it has now provided that information. As noted previously, under the Privacy Act you are not entitled to information that does not identify you.
In the circumstances, I intend recommending that your complaint file be closed. However, before we make a final decision in this regard, if you have any further information that you think it would be helpful for us to consider then you are welcome to provide that.
Diane Swan, Team Leader, Investigations, Privacy Commission.

So, what we've got here is hard evidence of deliberate corruption. O'Leary and Swan are alleging that I met with O'Leary before the Board of Trustees wrote the letter sacking me because of the false allegation that I had been charged with an offence involving a child. "The School has also told me that it did not collect any information about you from the Police. I understand you had a meeting with Mr O'Leary at which you told him about being charged by the Police, and which is also referred to in the Board of Trustees letter. As you disclosed this information to the School, and it did not collect any further information gathered from Police, there is no privacy issue for us to investigate."

- I have previously asked many times for an email address for your supervisor. Provide it immediately please.
- What Section of the Privacy Act specifically says I am "not entitled to information that does not identify [me]"
- I requested copies of ALL the emails on the school's file, and I want copies of ALL the emails on the school file.
- You know perfectly well that the meeting with O'Leary was after I got the letter from the BoT and are deliberately perverting the course of justice, this is a formal complaint and A REQUEST FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR YOUR SUPERVISOR AND A REQUEST THAT THIS FILE BE NOW INVESTIGATED AS A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING YOUR CORRUPT INVESTIGATION
- I TOLD YOU THAT THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL SAW NOTES MADE BY THE STAFF REP OF THE BOARD MEETING AT WHICH IT WAS DECIDED TO WRITE ME THE LETTER, AND THE LIES AGAINST ME WERE DISCUSSED AS IF THEY WERE TRUE, AND DISCUSSED THE MATTER IN DETAIL WITH THE STAFF REP, YOU'VE SIMPLY MADE NO ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER TO CONTACT HER - EVEN AFTER I GAVE YOU HER EMAIL ADDRESS.
- THE PRINCIPAL LIED ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS FROM PARENTS, AND ONLY ADMITTED TO ONE OF THEM AFTER CONFRONTED WITH THE EVIDENCE OF HIS LIES, I'D LIKE THIS ACKNOWLEDGED.

Dear Ms Raue
Your file has been passed onto the Assistant Commissioner (Investigations) for review and he will be in contact with you in due course.
Regards
Dawn Swan | Team Leader, Investigations (Wellington) | Office of the Privacy Commissioner | PO Box 10094 | Wellington 6143 | http://www.privacy.org.nz

Dear Ms Raue
I refer to previous correspondence concerning this complaint, including my letter of 25 May in which I forwarded you copies of the information held by the school.
After reviewing your file, I sought further comment from the school about the visit you received from Dallas Powell and whether the school held any information in relation to discussions Ms Powell had with staff. The school says that Ms Powell visited you on her own initiative and was not acting in any official capacity. The school does not have any information from Ms Powell in relation to this visit.
In terms of notes taken at a board of trustees meeting, the school says that notes were taken at the time but they have since been destroyed. As such, the school does not hold this information any longer so cannot provide it to you.
Based on this, and on the school confirming that there is no further personal information that it holds about you, I intend recommending that your complaint against the school be closed. If you wish to provide any further relevant comments, please do so as soon as possible.
Regards
Dawn Swan | Team Leader, Investigations (Wellington) | Office of the Privacy Commissioner | PO Box 10094 | Wellington 6143 |

So, more lies, and shameful dishonest rubbish.
"The school does not have any information from Ms Powell in relation to this visit."
No, but Ms Powell has that information, and Dawn Swan is just wasting tax payer's money by refusing to interview her and take a written signed statement, as are the lawyers who refuse to do anything about this blatant corruption, while milking the legal aid system for all it's worth at the expense of their poor clients and their families.
In terms of notes taken at a board of trustees meeting, the school says that notes were taken at the time but they have since been destroyed. As such, the school does not hold this information any longer so cannot provide it to you.
