french defence minister to rule on secret files

NEWS
PARIS (Oceania Flash/Pacific Media Watch):
 
Most of the files seized as part of recent investigations in French Polynesia could be made available to a judge based in Pape'ete who is currently investigating possible links between this French Pacific territory and former French President Jacques Chirac, as well as alleged bank accounts in Japan, French media reported at the weekend.

The files, seized since June this year in the French Polynesian capital Pape'ete, belong to the French secret service, the DGSE.

They have since remained inaccessible because they were classified as "secret defence" information.

Pape'ete-based judge Jean-François Redonnet, who ordered the searches, had asked permission to use these files.

Ruling on the issue, a consultative commission on national defence secret files, decided that of the 17 files, 16 should be declassified.

The decision was published in the French Republic's official gazette last week.

However, the final ruling is yet to be delivered by the French Defence Minister.

Since June this year and more recently, late September, metropolitan France's financial police have conducted a series of raids in French Polynesia, where the team is currently investigating a series of cases, including one involving former President Gaston Flosse.

As part of one of its later searches, on September 24, the squad (from the National Division of Financial investigations, DNIF) raided Flosse's home.

The investigations also included a controversial case into the mysterious disappearance of local journalist Jean-Pascal Couraud (nicknamed "JPK") in December 1997, when Flosse was President of French Polynesia.

Couraud's family have since repeatedly alleged that JPK had been assassinated by members of a so-called "intervention group", the GIP, which Flosse set up a few years earlier.

Couraud was investigating possible links between Flosse and then French President Jacques Chirac and information that he could have unveiled on a secret bank account located in Japan.

The investigators "were obviously looking for information that could back-up the theory that the journalist's disappearance was linked to information he could have held to give credit to the existence of former President of the Republic (Chirac)'s "Japanese account'", fed by Gaston Flosse's party, Tahoeraa Huiraatira stated at the time in a release.

Tahoeraa Huiraatira offices were also searched.

"The inspectors have found nothing at the residence of the Senator (Flosse) that could give credit to this theory … (Flosse) reaffirms that he has nothing to do in the disappearance of the former journalist… French judiciary have favoured for several years the suicide or voluntary disappearance of JPK, and then a new inquest has been launched, as a result of a politically-motivated manipulation", the release says.

Couraud's disappearance was first treated as a suicide, but since last year, a change of magistrate in charge of the inquest has reactivated the murder theory.

The new approach was based on revelations made by a former GIP member, Vetea Guilloux, who explained Couraud had first been kidnapped, then tortured and eventually drowned in waters somewhere between the main island of Tahiti and neighbouring Moorea Island.

Guilloux, however, has since withdrawn his earlier statements.

Couraud's body was never found.

Flosse has just been re-elected as one of French Polynesia's two members of the French Senate, despite the open disapproval from French ruling party, the UMP which, this year, had decided to back current President Gaston Tong Sang and a former member of the French National Assembly, Béatrice Vernaudon.

Radio investigative programme rewarded

One of the more recent investigative reports carried out on the "JPK" case, a feature documentary by French national radio France Inter, was at the weekend awarded the International Investigation Award by the Paris-based French Journalist Training Centre (CFJ).

The audio documentary, entitled Sharks in Troubled Waters/A counter-investigation on the JPK case, was conducted by French Journalist Benoît Colombat and was aired first late last year as part of the France Inter programme Interception.

There have since been attempts coming from French Polynesia to ban the broadcasting of the documentary.

Sharks in Troubled Waters, which was first aired mid-December 2007, will be broadcast again on November 2, France Inter announced at the weekend.

Fwd: official complaint | dropped laptop

. . .
 
kia orana, greetings
 
For the record, I note the complete lack of response to an official complaint eight days ago, three days outside your stated policy of making a response within five days.
 
I also note that, on your website, the category of complaint links to an email address listed as feedback@customs.govt.nz - I would suggest that an official complaint is of quite a different nature to general feedback, even criticism, and deserves an independent email address and much more attentive officers to attend it.
 
I am copying this communication to other service addresses in the hope of gaining a response, as well as office of the Ombudsman, for their information. Further inaction will result in a complaint to the Ombudsmen's office.
 
manuia,
 
jason

kia ora,
 
just got off QF39 from Melbourne. Half asleep, not too snazzy. Writing from the Samsung stand at arrivals downstairs, next to McDonalds.
Just before, at the xray section, one of your officers placed my laptop precariously close to the edge of the steel tray after coming through the x-ray machine.
 
I am not sure how it happened but while my back was turned, I heard a thunk and my laptop bag was on the floor. I said to an officer on duty, a ginger haired lad, that "that won't do it any good - next time a little less close to the edge."
 
His reply: "I think I placed it quite well."
 
"No, bro, next time, a little less close to the edge."
 
No apology. His attitude sucks. How would it be if I nudged one of your computers off the table and it smashed on the ground? Would I not be facing severe penalties? Or at least a severe upbraiding? My laptop is my tool, just as much as your xray machines are yours. I am currently investigating the alleged assassination of a journalist in Tahiti, in relation to a $1.5 trillion false assets scandal involving Clearstream, a European clearing bank.
 
What happens if the negligence of your officer has fucked my laptop? And vital notes with it? And not even an apology from your officer, just snivelling attitude. Tell him to pull his head in and adjust his attitude, real fast. If someone killed one of your colleagues, you'd be over them like a rash. I don't need snotty, superior attitude from a jumped up little git, nor does your service, an otherwise polite and efficient affair, up until about 20 minutes ago.
 
kia toa,
 
jason

WINZ
 
greetings,
 
I acknowledge receiving payment of some $302 into my account.
 
As I have not received any further advice on the status of my complaint, I am assuming that WINZ is still considering its options.
 
I also assume that payments will continue, in the meantime, without further interruption, until this matter is resolved. Please confirm.
 
thank you,
 
jason

dear anne,

I note the continued lack of action from your office regards my complaint, or even an acknowledgment that I have, in fact, laid an official complaint. Perhaps this might be due to the fact that there do not appear to be any official forms to make an official complaint on. Other issues:

1. You refer in your last email to "renewal" forms, but I am fairly sure that I am still well within the time allocated since my last visit to my doctor. Please check with the clinic of my doctor as provided for by law.
2. Dates of my travel are immaterial given that I applied in writing before date of departure. Either your office approves the travel, or it does not. Either way, make a decision, so that, if I disagree, I may ask for a review of the decision from your office.
3. I am currently down to the last few puffs of Pulmicort asthma medication, less than 20. I am completely out of anti-depressant medication. I cannot afford to go to a doctor.

By this time tomorrow, I will be out of asthma drugs. By this time Sunday, while you enjoy your weekend away from work, I will be bedridden, gasping for breath. If I continue to react badly to Melbourne weather, I may be hospitalised, even die. For these reasons, I must inform you that a continued lack of action from your office will draw further, official, complaint. If I survive!

So, what I suggest, is that payment be made, immediately, and any disputes over illegibility be settled after my return, with any reclamations made at that time.

Re: please contact

. . .

dear carolyn,

thank you for your response, indicating some sort of action by the ministry, apparently, in response to a request from me to forward the previous email to Anne.

However, I requested no such thing. I have already emailed Anne directly, why would I need anyone else to refer this matter to her again? I only included the international services email and the information email and others, earlier, because of growing desperation and a hope that it might produce some action.

What I need now, urgently, is payment, and, less urgently, consideration of my complaint.

but thanks,

jason

I have referred this to Anne Goodall as you requested.

hello anne,

As indicated in my official complaint yesterday, I will not be contacting anyone inside MSD over the phone, ever, again.

Or in any other manner than via this email address, auto-publishing to the web. Please inform your ministry colleagues that they should desist from persisting in trying to settle matters verbally regarding my case at WINZ or MSD, as I am firmly of the belief from the last two years of interaction with the ministry that this manner of communication is used to avoid accountability over official comments, claims and promises.

Your ministry has my complaint. I look forward to action.

manuia,

jason

Hello Jason

I am the Service Centre Manager at Queen Street Work and Income. It has come to my attention that you have some problems regarding your Benefit payments.

Please contact me on 913 7366 so that we can discuss what is required. Or alternatively you can visit our Service Centre in person. As I am not located there today, please ask for our Trainer, Nick. He will be able to help you. I will be at the Service Centre tomorrow if you wish to come and see me then.

A renewal form needs to be completed, and we will also need confirmation of travel dates. I have been trying to call you on the cell phone number on our records, 021 02484560 today, but have not had any success. These details may also need to be updated.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Anne Goodall
