I have yet to receive either an acknowledgment or reply from Stephen Franks to yesterday’s following letter: ___________________________________________________________________________________ 10 September 2014 OPEN LETTER to Stephen Franks, Principal, Franks and Ogilvie “Are these ‘WhaleDump’ emails true?” Dear Stephen, It is with some deep concern, that I have read the following alleged email correspondence, between Jordan Williams, then, as I understand it, employed as a Solicitor at your company, Franks and Ogilvie. nbr.co.nz/opinion/twitter-suspends-whaledump-account There is significant public interest in these matters relating to ‘dirty politics’. I would appreciate your honest response to the following questions: Are these emails true? Yes or no? If yes, is the ‘Steve’ referred to in these emails by Jordan Williams, yourself? Yes or no? Is it correct that Jordan Williams now employed as a ‘consultant’ as opposed to a ‘solicitor’ by Franks and Ogilvie? franksogilvie.co.nz/ nz.linkedin/pub/jordan-williams/20/b29/34 If yes, why is Jordan Williams not currently listed as a consultant in your list of ‘people’ at Franks and Ogilvie? I note that in 2008, you were the National Party candidate for Wellington Central. stephenfranks.co.nz/wellington-central-candidate-for-the-national-party/ Are you still connected in any way with the National Party? If so – how? Looking forward to your prompt reply. Yours sincerely, Penny Bright ‘Anti-corruption /anti-privatisation Public Watchdog’ _____________________________________________________________________________________ I understand that Jordan Williams no longer works for Franks and Ogilvie as a ‘solicitor’. It appears that Franks and Ogilvie are now attempting to distance themselves from Jordan Williams? If so – how is it that on LinkedIn – Jordan Williams purports to be a ‘consultant’ for Franks and Ogilvie? nz.linkedin/pub/jordan-williams/20/b29/34 Are Franks and Ogilvie currently employing/paying Jordan Williams as a ‘consultant’ – YES or NO? Time for a bit of ‘transparency’? Given the ‘dirty and despicable politics’ in which Jordan Williams was allegedly so involved, as exposed in ‘Dirty Politics’ which so many critics thereof, have apparently still yet to read for themselves, how brainy is it for Franks and Ogilvie to maintain any formal links with one of the allegedly key players? If Franks and Ogilvie are still employing the services of Jordan Williams as a ‘consultant’, whilst giving the impression of having cut ties with him, then, in my considered opinion, that does not make Franks and Ogilvie appear very ‘trustworthy’? No disrespect – but seriously – how also are the public supposed to trust the ‘Tax Payers Union’? New Zealand – ‘perceived’ to be the ‘least corrupt country in the world’ ……… Anyone heard anything lately from Transparency International about these politically explosive corruption scandals? transparency.org.nz/ Most Trusted Public Sector in the World “New Zealand’s high trust public sector is its greatest competitive advantage” -Phil O’Reilly Chief Executive of Business New Zealand New Zealand’s public sector is consistently ranked among the least corrupt in the world. This reputation is not a coincidence. New Zealand has a long tradition of being first with legislation aimed at promoting human rights. Milestones include the Public Service Act 1912 and the Official Information Act 1982. TINZ is committed to continue this tradition through actions that increase public sector transparency and extend good governance throughout all New Zealand institutions.” Yeah – whatever ……… (File under ‘You Couldn’t Make This Sh*t Up’) Penny Bright Anti-corruption /anti-privatisation Public Watchdog
