Kia ora te whanau The majority Niao whanau are working on their Police complaint of alleged fraud and theft of KA24 geothermal well by NTGA; and NTST as owner of NTGA. The Niao whanau has uncovered how Adlam linked her private agendas to the iwi structures, (then abused various positions she held in those iwi structures), enabling that alleged fraud and theft of KA24 geothermal well for her enormous personal gain. It appears that the NTST Chairperson and Trustees ACCEPT Adlam’s excuse that her acquisition of the KA 24 geothermal well by abusing her positions in NTGA and NTST is strictly a WHANAU matter, not an IWI one. This is what they do to detract attention from the REAL ISSUE which is the iwi involvement in this alleged fraud and theft – I can’t even begin to imagine that their top-notch lawyer, Graham Harford, a long time business associate of Rae Beverley Adlam, has not yet told the NTST Trustees just how valid and strong the Niao claim really is and that it should be taken seriously if they know what’s good for them. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out that WHEN Adlam signed the Sale and Purchase Agreement between Mighty River Power and NTGA she agreed that a condition of that Agreement was that KA24 geothermal well was to be HELD IN TRUST FOR THE RIGHTFUL OWNER BY NTGA. For KA24 well to be shifted from being held in Trust by NTGA Adlam would have needed to sign it off for transfer to the rightful owner and she would have done so in her capacity as NTGA Chairperson and Director, NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A MEMBER OF THE SAVAGE WHANAU. Ms Adlam was ALSO Chairperson and Trustee of NTST at that time. Having those dual leadership roles means that she was accountable only to herself, the other Director of NTGA, Robert Shuster and the Trustees of NTST. So it was easy for Adlam to shift KA24 well to herself without declaring conflicts of interests and other fiduciary obligations. That is the basis of our laying the criminal charges against NTGA and NTST. It was Adlam who chose to involve the IWI, not the Niao whanau. If the other Director of NTGA at that time, Robert Shuster, Pat Brown of Strettons’ Taupo and the other Trustees of NTST, failed to stop that breach of trust to defraud the rightful owner of its KA24 asset – that is for them to sort out, not the Niao whanau. We are satisfied from findings of our research that there is a prima facie case to lay criminal charges against NTGA and NTST, which, we are working on and will soon submit at the Whakatāne Police Station. The alleged fraud and theft of KA24 well by NTGA and NTST was not argued in the Maori Land Court hearing held last year , so we are confident that it will be treated separately from those proceedings. We allege Adlam acted fraudulently to steal KA24 well in breach of her fiduciary obligations in her several positions of Chairperson, Trustee, Company Director and Chief Negotiator of Treaty of Waitangi claims settlement, namely WAI 62 – the Ngati Tuwharetoa ki Kawerau Treaty of Waitangi historic grievance claims, the name of which, was subsequently changed to Ngati Tuwharetoa Bay of Plenty Settlement Trust. Amazing how the NTST Trustees’ letter of reply makes references that the Niao whanau is influenced by Rihi Vercoe. They could ask their acting lawyer, Mr. Harford, if it’s against the law for someone to write letters for others. What the NTST Trustees should be more concerned about is what Graham Harford wrote for NTST and NTGA on instructions of Rae Beverley Adlam, particularly, from 2003 to 2005 – including the 2004 NTST Trust Deed, and the Constitutions of various limited liability companies of the Ngati Tuwharetoa Holdings Limited (NTHL) Group, which Adlam created in 2005. Her style in creating those companies is a clone of what she did with her Savage Whanau land trusts’ property from 1990 to the present day, which, we only now realise is an ugly trail of destruction inflicted by Ms Adlam and puppets she has within her Savage Whanau. In their letter of reply to the Niao whanau, the NTST Trustees express some anxiety about serious ramifications for NTST and NTGA. They pay no attention to the impact of the breach of trust by NTGA and NTST on our safety. We draw the conclusion those expressions confirm the NTST Trustees are, indeed, fully aware of just how serious the (Niao whanau) allegations are. It will also impact on the lack of integrity of the Treaty claims settlement process; and worst of all, the dishonesty of Maori leaders in chief negotiator roles. This exposure could go nationwide. Instead, the NTST Trustees justify that alleged fraud and theft in stating that the NTST beneficiaries approved the 2004 TRUST DEED that Graham Harford wrote on instructions of Rae Beverley Adlam. The NTST Trustees go on to infer that the Niao whanau is influenced by Rihi Vercoe. At the same time they validate what Graham Harford wrote on instructions of Adlam, and accept her argument that the Niao letter describes “personal WHANAU issues” when they know that to be a very flimsy COP-OUT. Mr Harford should be in a position to fully explain to the NTST Trustees that the Niao claim has validity – so either he has been misinformed, like the NTST Trustees, or, he acts in defence of Adlam’s alleged fraud and theft because he is the writer of the legal documents that legitimised her actions. They are in denial, and that is their choice. They know Adlam has brought the iwi and the Treaty claims process into disrepute but they continue to let her act as Trustee and Director; and what allows Adlam to continue to do so is the way Mr. Harford wrote the TRUST DEED AND THE COMPANY CONSTITUTIONS. The Niao whanau were never consciously party to Adlam’s conspiracy – and we can now prove it to be exactly that – an intricate web of deceit amounting to conspiracy to defraud those she was trusted to represent. She was their fiduciary; and Chairperson and Director of companies she created as an extension of her fiduciary obligations, of which she is fully aware. Her Niao first cousins maintain that Adlam betrayed both her Savage whanau, and her NTST iwi, to make herself filthy rich, and that her strategy to materialise that wealth was clever, but ruthless, shameless, divisive and soul destroying for her victims. We give Adlam due credit for the positive achievements she made. Being Chief negotiator is high demand and stressful, and she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in that role by the Crown forestry rentals trust (CFRT) and at the same time she was stealing an average $20 thousand a month of Savage Papakainga land Trust owned money. Unfortunately, her ruthless pathway of covert and profound betrayal devalues the positive gains. She made a choice to abuse the iwi structures to materialise private agendas involving her Savage Whanau that only she and a hand-picked few of her whanau members knew about. Then she made it very difficult for her iwi and whanau victims to uncover her greed motivated ulterior motives HIDDEN BY her number one tool, which, is to ABSOLUTELY DENY all information. She starves those entitled, of all information. The Niao whanau responded to that denial of ALL information by conducting independent research to crack her shocking lack of transparency while acting as fiduciary. We are solutions focused and are confident that our strong evidence of the conspiracy Adlam CHOSE to inflict will flush out all those involved in her networks who denied us of our entitlements – including NTGA and NTST. We can prove that in 2004 Adlam successfully applied for carbon credits, then reportedly valued at $3 million, in respect of KA24 well. Her Project description in respect of that carbon credits application is that she was to develop KA24 well by mid-2006. Adlam already had SECRET grand plans for the ACQUSITION of KA24 geothermal well without the knowledge of my hubby who she knew was Trustee of the land upon which that well is located. Then in May 2005 Adlam was signatory to the Sale and Purchase between Mighty River Power and NTGA, a condition of which was that KA24 well was to be held by NTGA IN TRUST FOR THE RIGHTFUL OWNER. Adlam was fully aware of the rightful owner. We allege that in her capacity of Chairperson and Director of NTGA, and Chairperson and Trustee of NTST, she did defraud the rightful owner, in breach of trust, by abusing her high powered positions in NTGA and NTST, to shift KA24 geothermal well for her huge personal gain. In that shifting she acted for NTGA and NTST, and not for her whanau. There are domino effect repercussions of that alleged fraud and theft, one being that the Niao whanau are beneficiaries of the rightful owner of KA24 geothermal well, AND, most of all, my hubby is a Trustee of that owner. In that Trustee capacity he is held liable for the safety of land owner beneficiaries, and Trust assets, such as KA24 well. But Adlam doesn’t give a damn of how she has incriminated him and the repercussions he faces because she starved him of crucial information for which the Niao whanau had to conduct research to defend his fiduciary obligations. Nor does Helen Savage give a damn of how her husband’s (Anthony’s) and his siblings’ investments in a company Adlam created in 1990, named OGEL, and its impact in enabling Adlam to “rip-off” the Niao land owner interests. But, instead, Helen Savage decided to blame my hubby who became a Trustee in 2002. Because of that “don’t give a shit” attitude the Niao whanau have had to conduct research to defend him too, and to sue for damages in the High Court. We can now extend that damages claim against NTGA and NTST for Adlam’s abuse of her positions in those iwi structures in 2005 resulting in her making a profit of $10million in 2010. Our delay in making this diagnosis is due to Adlam’s absolute refusal to issue information, her failure to declare several conflicts of interests and Helen Savage’s insistence that her remedial direction was the only solution. We will let you all know of the progress of our Police complaints against NTGA and NTST, if it is accepted that a prima facie case is justified, which, we believe is the case. Kia kaha, kia manawanui.
