Paturoa Kauri ring-barked in shocking early morning attack:






In breaking news, another local property developer has shown a similar contempt for the law to that shown by Mr Julian Batchelor - killing a tree in West Auckland without conscience or right, with utter contempt for the tangata whenua OR the english laws:

7.30am


The ancient Kauri in West-Auckland that has been the focus of a community campaign to save it was attacked at 6.15am this morning and viciously ring-barked risking the safety of Johno Smith occupying the tree.

As the arborist lay up in the canopy he was woken by the noise below. He saw eight people suspected to be security guards dressed in black arrive on the property. Three had electric chainsaws and proceeded to cut the tree while five were waiting in a van.

Shocked neighbours called out to the men who immediately stopped and departed the site but by then they had cut the full circumference.

“This is vengeful action by the developer who was facing being stopped by the High Court today” says Aprilanne Bonar, spokesperson for Save Our Kauri.

Neighbours are currently assisting Police who are on-site interviewing. Eye witnesses have given the registration of the van to the investigating officers as part of their enquiry.

Last Monday Save Our Kauri applied to the High Court for a Judicial Review and was in negotiations with the developers until late last night.

Julian's dodgy land acquisition - first attempt to bribe the occupier and the judge, then petition parliament to overturn the decision of the Court

This is Julian Batchelor's account of how the whenua he currently occupies at Rawhiti was acquired. This account is biased and prejudiced, and inaccurate and misleading. It can be seen that the acquisition involved attempts to bribe an upstanding Judge, the advantage of superior legal resources to achieve a desirable outcome regardless of right, and the last resort, the use of a petition to the parliament (signed by one person) to overturn the Court decision in order to achieve a blatantly unjust advantage and repugnant to the laws of natural justice for indigenous owners.

On Julian Batchelor's profile at Barfoot and Thompson Julian says he is the director of a Christian charity.  There seems to be some discrepancy regarding the ownership of the land, the put it mildly.  Te komiti asks the hard questions:  Email sent to Grant Rose, the manager of the Greenhithe branch of Barfoot and Thompson on Tuesday 2 February 2015: Tena koe Mr Rose, I spoke with your wife Michelle yesterday regarding the issue of Mr Julian Batchelor's advertised Christian charity which is included in his Barfoots profile (copy attached).  We are reviewing Mr Batchelor's compliance and consultation with hapu and tangata whenua following recent concerns regarding developments on a property which Mr Batchelor claims is owned by a Christian charity, and variously Mr Batchelor claims that the property is owned by a limited liability private company in his applications to local government.

Tena koutou, emails recently received from the Far North District Council provide further information, but not much.  Still incredibly vague and inadequate: 18 February 2016 Tena koe Katherine, Further to my last message concerning 4 outstanding items of information, Mr Batchelor has recently met with Council staff and agreed to try and find the Public Liability insurance policy for you. I have some details of the road repair in 2013 and attach a plan showing the position of road repair, a photo showing the damaged road prior to repair, and retaining wall then constructed on the seaward side of the road. I have reminded monitoring staff that I still need to hear from them about the possible marine pollution.
