"We know that local and international business are fundamentally hostile to democracy and transparency; its utterly shocking that the body we have established to police them has been so captured by them as to share that hostility. At the end of the day, the Commerce Commission is a public body. That means it must respect democratic norms - including the OIA."

The Commerce Commission's weak case for secrecy

Back in September, the regime announced plans to give new powers to the Commerce Commission . But the announcement also included this: We h...

Here's something different. An OIA request takes on a life of its own and transforms into a soap opera.

The original, slightly crazed request was sent to Poto Williams in March 2022. It was referred to Police who responded the following month, refusing all requests on privacy grounds.

What follows is an online scrap between related parties with accusations flying in all directions. I'm not sure I even want to know most of the back-story, but the Crewe murders are in there along with Arthur Allan Thomas.

The saga ends with the original poster saying "I retract this OIA request, there have been false allegations made..."

Er... but you were the one who was making them.

Arrest made of Aaron Stuckey and shooting - a Official Information Act request to Poto Williams

Under the Official Information Act, I wish to request the following.. 1.) Date of the arrest, incarceration of Mr Aaron Stuckey for production of methamphetamine on his parents' property River Road, Tuakau, NZ, I request to obtain the complete Police file, and if no Police file, why not? 2.) Date of shooting of Aaron Stuckey and the Police file into this event and why he was not taken directly to hospital but rather his mother phoned his cousin, Donna Thomas, St John Paramedic? If there are no details regarding this serious event, why not? 3.) Police file into the arrest/charges regarding Donna Thomas, c/- McKenzie road, Pokeno 2471 on methamphetamine charges and was this the reason she is no longer a St John Paramedic? 4.) How did Aaron Stuckey's parents, Margaret and Buster Stuckey gain custody of their grandchild Arnyha Stuckey (daughter of Aaron Stuckey and Gina Gibson) considering Aaron had methamphetamine charges/incarceration? 5.) How were the Stuckeys able to use, now Crown Lawyer, Natalie Walker (Mrs Fletcher) to gain custody of their grandchild when their names have been linked to involvement in the Crewe case in which Natalie Walker represented the Crewe daughter during the Crewe review period between 2010 to 2014. Natalie Walker is also representing the Stuckeys in the latest case against Arthur Thomas and it can only be seen as a 'conflict of interest'. Ms Natalie Walker also involved herself in the case of my brother's workplace death case (11/11/11) which is now being looked at with a view to another Coronial Inquest because it was completely covered up because the killer (Karl Lobb aka secret Crown witness Mr X in the Thomas Royal Commission 1980) links to the Crewe case. Yours faithfully, Lynette Stevens on behalf of the NZ public desperately seeking transparency in these matters
