Whether appointed by the legislature, the executive, or an organization (or, less frequently, elected by the constituency), the typical duties of an ombudsman are to investigate constituent complaints and attempt to resolve them, usually through recommendations (binding or not) or mediation. Ombudsmen sometimes also aim to identify systemic issues leading to poor service or breaches of people’s rights. At the national level, most ombudsmen have a wide mandate to deal with the entire public sector, and sometimes also elements of the private sector (for example, contracted service providers). In some cases, there is a more restricted mandate, for example with particular sectors of society. A more recent development has been the creation of specialised Children’s Ombudsman agencies (see separate article).

In some jurisdictions an ombudsman charged with the handling of concerns about national government is more formally referred to as the “Parliamentary Commissioner” (e.g., the United Kingdom Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, and the Western Australian state Ombudsman). In many countries where the ombudsman’s remit extends beyond dealing with alleged maladministration to promoting and protecting human rights, the ombudsman is recognized as the national human rights institution. The word ombudsman and its specific meaning have been adopted in various languages, including Spanish, Dutch and Czech. The post of ombudsman had by the end of the 20th century been instituted by most governments and by some intergovernmental organizations such as the European Union.

In some countries an Inspector General, Citizen Advocate or other official may have duties similar to those of a national ombudsman, and may also be appointed by the legislature. Below the national level an ombudsman may be appointed by a state, local or municipal government, and unofficial ombudsmen may be appointed by, or even work for, a corporation such as a utility supplier or a newspaper, for an NGO, or for a professional regulatory body.

There’s your answer Jacobus,  “a trusted intermediary” “who is charged with representing the interests of the public by investigating and addressing complaints reported by individuals.”  “dealing with alleged maladministration to promoting and protecting human rights, ” “Ombudsmen sometimes also aim to identify systemic issues leading to poor service or breaches of people’s rights.”

So what do you reckon about this little lot then?

Dear Sir,

Please forward to me at the below address copies of all the documents that have been generated as a result of your “investigation” into my complaint of 23 May 2011 that Sergeant Colin Wright had falsified certain aspects of his 5-10-10 Jobsheet about his conversation with Dr David Barton concerning the attempted murder of my cat by Stephen Poynter.

This request is made pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982. (20 days maximum to respond.)

Yours faithfully

Jack Van Der Lubbe

22A Paterson Street,

Wanganui.

PS When are you going to keep your promises to respond to me regarding the Judge Clapham decision, and also my complaint that Sergeant Colin Wright had used false pretences to gain entry to my home address and then refused to leave when ordered to do so under the Trespass Act?

One more thing, I hold you personally responsible for the continuous threat Stephen and Suzanne Poynter and their agents posed to the health and safety of my family and myself during their four-year intimidation campaign. Your cosy little arrangement with Stephen Poynter that he would warn the police but not my wife or I that he was about to discharge firearms in our near vicinity proves that you were a fully involved accomplice in the Poynters` concerted attempts to frighten us off 22A Paterson Street.

.

MacLeod replied that he would respond shortly.

.

Then I got this from “the fixer/spy/liar” Inspector Greg Hudson.

.

Instead of contacting the Privacy Commissioner I contacted the Ombudsman.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your letter of 26 October 2011.

The single page of notes that you have erroneously agreed with the Police that I should be denied relates to a short conversation between Police Inspector Greg (Central Districts fixer) Hudson and veterinarian Dr David Barton. The name of the third person mentioned in the notes is, I believe, veterinarian Genevieve (Poppy) Clement. She is the person who actually operated on my cat (Dr Barton never sighted it) and is the central witness that the Police have carefully avoided interviewing. Shortly after the operation she said to me that the wounds to my cat (metal fragments and all) were probably from a firearm but the Police, without any actual evidence to back up their claim, are adamant that the wounds to my cat “were not from a firearm.” (No bullet wounds, no malicious shooter, simple.)

The only reason I am being denied that single page of notes is because the Police are protecting evidence fabricator Sergeant Colin Wright and malicious pet cat shooter Stephen Poynter from justice. All that claptrap about people’s privacy and police sources being protected is typical of the deceitful excuses the police trot out each time one of their own is in the frame. I suspect that Doctor Barton, in an effort to get it all to go away, told Inspector Hudson what he wanted to hear: IE that Sergeant Wright’s Job Sheet is an accurate account of what he told him during a phone conversation thereby making my allegation that Sergeant Wright fabricated vital parts of his Job Sheet look like a lie. Unfortunately for Dr Barton, the Police in general and Sergeant Wright in particular, I have incontrovertible proof that my version of events is the correct one. Doctor Barton didn’t shy away from making me look like a liar so he shouldn’t get too uppity when I show that in this instance it is he that is not telling the truth. Notice how the Police haven’t charged me with making a false statement/allegation or wasting police time. That fact alone speaks volumes.

Attached is the form you asked me to fill out. You’ll see that I’ve left it blank because I have but two things to say about the service you have given me.

1         Anyone who mentions the IPCA in anything other than a derisory tone is either corrupt or ignorant.

2         I won’t be contacting you in future unless you assure me that you will never again take at face value anything the NZ Police say to you.

Yours faithfully

SO I THOUGHT I’D GIVE THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER A TRY AND BOOM HUDSON AND McGEE ARE FULL OF CRAP. “All that claptrap about people’s privacy and police sources being protected” totally rubbished.

Dear Sir,

It looks a lot like the reasons you gave for refusing to supply me with the attached document were bogus Greg. One word from the Privacy Commissioner and boom your integrity was shot to bits.

However I did as you suggested and got my cat x-rayed and guess what, “snowstorm”. The x-ray negatives (I’ve got them) and attached Patient Clinical History report prove that I was right and your Sergeant Wright and both vets mentioned in your “investigation” notes were wrong. “99% sure it wasn’t [shot] as only grit was found in wound” my arse. Is that what David Barton actually said to you Greg or were you “doing a Wright” and making stuff up again? Have a look at the attached Genevieve Clement letter and then ask yourself, are she and David Barton as foolish as Colin Wright is bent?

There is and always was evidence to show that my cat was shot but it was never Wright’s intention to act without fear or favour and make a proper investigation was it? Protect mad gunman Stephen Poynter was/is the name of the game!

Are you going to charge Sergeant Colin Wright for wilfully attempting to obstruct, prevent, pervert or defeat the course of justice or are you going to make me do it?

Yours faithfully.

Dear Madam,

You really should do something about your assistant “ombudsman” Mr David McGee. He needs terminating without delay! He’s supposed to be an independent arbiter but he’s nothing of the sort.

It is quite clear to me that Mr McGee is but a rubber stamp for an obstructive and dishonest police force. It only took one letter to Police National Headquarters from the Privacy Commissioner pointing out the folly of their obstructive stance to reverse the Police’s refusals to supply me with the attached official document and render your Mr McGee’s brownnosing decision null, void and stupid. I trust you will send the corrupt Mr McGee down the road without a golden handshake.

Yours faithfully

Dear Beverly Wakem,

I refer to your letter of 9 February 2012.

Use offensive and deplorably intemperate language in my letter of 28 January 2012 did I? Say that David McGee is a stupid, brownnosing rubberstamp did I?  Is that all you’ve got to complain about? I should be so lucky!

Would you resort to offensive and deplorably intemperate language if you had been denied your legal and civil rights since 1984 by the very people who’s job it is to uphold them? https://bcops.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/

Would you resort to writing letters rebuking the people who are charged by Parliament to make sure mongrel cops don’t continue to abuse human rights and the law? Or would you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing and turn the other cheek and run like a wartime Jew to the killing pits? It is very fortunate for all concerned that I have the patience of Job and that my only weapon is the sometimes “intemperate” printed word.

No matter what you say to defend dopey McGee the fact of the matter is that the legal section at PNHQ quickly saw that bent cop Inspector Gregory Hudson had no bona fide reason for refusing me the requested document and decided to act honestly and put matters right. You saying that it is open to an organization to reverse to withhold particular information should it wish to do so is ludicrous and makes a mockery of the people who drafted and passed the Privacy laws.  ‘You’re not getting the requested notes because we need to protect personal privacy and we don’t want to prejudice the maintenance of the law and we want protect the flow of information’ they (Hudson and McGee) said. Then suddenly all that is reversed, bugger peoples privacy, bugger law and order, bugger the flow of information, give the Dutch bastard what he wants, there’s nothing in that document worth hiding anyway. (They think)

I bet you can’t point out one sentence in those notes that should have been withheld from me under the Privacy Act Sections that Hudson quoted. The fact that Carolyn Richardson saw fit to release to me the entire page without deletions shows that there is nothing in it that can be honestly withheld under the provisions of the Privacy or any other Act and it also shows that Hudson, McGee and now you were all wrong; that your support of McGee is wrong; that McGee’s decision to back bent cop Hudson was wrong and it also shows that it isn’t only dopey David McGee that should be given a swift kick up the bum.

Pffft! Ombudsman, you don’t know the meaning of the word.

Yours faithfully,

J Van Der Lubbe
