Unlawful Detention
K Roe (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Andrew Little
The request was successful.
From: K Roe (Account suspended)
Dear Andrew Little,
I am interested in whether the New Zealand Government... The Ministry of Health... One or more of the District Health Boards of New Zealand... May be involuntarily confining people without appropriate cause / reason in New Zealand.
I understand that there are Public Health reasons for people undertaking up to 2 weeks of quarantine and I don't mean to challenge the legality of that...
But I am thinking more on how we know so much in Psychology / Psychiatry about how certain conditions (typically regarded as torture conditions) affect people mentally or psychologically. Things like the effects of that blue / white flourescent light (particularly with flicker). The effects of lack of sleep (e.g., when people are kept awake on 15 minute or 20 minute observation checks). Things like that...
I wondering if people may be using the Covid pandemic as a... Justification... Or excuse... To identify vulnerable people (maybe people who don't go on and on and on about how they are constantly in contact with people who love them and who would miss them) and... Some people are never being released from detention.
Now... If I ask you 'how many people has the Government transferred from quarantine facilities to in-patient mental health facilities' you will likely say 'I have no knowledge of evidence of that therefore there is no evidence of that therefore that does not occur / does not happen'.
I don't want to go down that track... So (bearing in mind principles of natural justice and forthrightness and so on) I will attempt to put the question this way:
1) How many people who entered into border quarantine... Have been released from that quarantine back to society at the end of the quarantine time?
There will then be some number who haven't / were not. So we wonder of them: What happened?
Some of them will have been required to stay in quarantine longer because they returned a positive test. Subtract them from the number who were not released.
How many now remain?
A ball-park figure will help me with further question.
Yours faithfully,
K Roe

From: K Roe (Account suspended)
Dear Andrew Little,
My question is about how many people are (potentially being) unlawfully detained in health facilies, in New Zealand, in the name of Covid Response.
It is a question for the Minister of Health and if he will not answer it then shall we all waste tax-payers dollars while I get an injuction for a judge to instruct him to answer the question?
Is that really a good use of tax-payers funds?
Is this what we expect from the Minister of Health in the course of him doing his job? The job for which is is remunerated?
I am concerned that people may be arriving from overseas into quarantine. That people may be kept in conditions in quarantine such that they experience isolation induced psychosis. That people may then be sectioned under the mental health act. That people may then be kept in ongoing isolation induced psychosis conditions. That we may be populating our psychiatric hospitals in this manner when the psychiatrists in New Zealand are some combination of bored and trying to grow their business best they can in Covid times.
I am seeking reassurance (not empty reassurance, actual facts) that this is not the case. That the government is ensuring that this is not the case.
I am wanting to know that the people who entered into quarantine are accounted for. We aren't grinding them up and feeding them to involuntary psychiatric patients or prisoners in the slops.
Kelly Roe.
From: K Roe (Account suspended)
Dear Ministerial Services,
I don't know why the Ministry of Health thinks that it is MBIE's job to answer a question about involuntary detention under the mental health act when this clearly falls under the Ministry of Health.
I never put the question to MBIE and I do not require a response from MBIE.
I apologise that Ministry of Health saw fit to waste your time.
Yours sincerely,
K Roe

Thankyou for providing a thorough response.
> With regard to your request for the number of returnees who have not re-entered the general
population following their stay in an MIQ facility, I can advise that three returnees have passed away
while in an MIQ facility, two returnees passed away in hospital after going there directly from an MIQ
facility, and two returnees have been remanded in custody directly from an MIQ facility.
So 7 who have not been released have been accounted for. I am wondering about the others.
More in particular I am wondering how many have been kept by a 'health officer' perhaps to help populate in patient psychiatric facilities?

I am sorry to hear that Anony Mouse.
Have you tried complaining to the Health and Disability Commissioner? I believe that complaining to them might possibly lead to the outcome that they say they are sorry (but it also might not).
With respect to compensation...
With respect to how much money precisely the government chose to give to certain individuals such that they were empowered to do that to you...
I am waiting on a list of people who have authority to arrange for prosecution (that is to say for possible imprisonment of people who violate the law by doing things like kidnapping or holding hostage or involutarily confining or assaulting or sexually offending or committing wrongful death (in the process of other offences which I believe makes that murder) etc...
It is a sad sad sad day when the highest paid individuals (highest paid by the New Zealand governmetn) are the very worst of the worst of the worst of the world's offenders.

Dear *OIA,
Hi,
I'm not sure why my question wasn't really answered.
What I am getting at is... People to into quarantine as they re-enter NZ. Some or most of them.
And I wanting to know how many of those people the Government chooses to keep in institutions. So... From quarantine, some will be labelled 'criminals' and they will go from quarantine into prisons.
And, from quarantine, some will be labelled 'psychiatrically disturbed' and they will go from quarantine into psychiatric facilities.
For example, the Henry Bennett Centre of the Waikato Hospital or the Psychiatric ICU of the Grafton Hospital.
I am wondering how many people have gone into quarantine and then been involuntarily detained by one of the District Health Boards to be a psychiatric inpatient. Whether the District Health Board has filled out the paperwork for them to be lawfully held involuntarily or whether the District Health Board claims that they voluntarily chose to gave up their freedom and comply with directive to go do psychiatric detention.
I am wondering how many might still be retained in government institutions?
Maybe the hacker will know about the Waikato District Health Board. As whoever hacked the Auckland University Alumni Donar list will know how much people are payign to get their kids entry to Medicine, Medical Scholarships, Medical Internship Placements, and final Sign off.
Yours sincerely,
K Roe

bribing foreign officials.
otago and auckland university believes that 'subject to demands of public accountability' means they can choose whichever people they want to enrol in medicine. they can declare a person 'ineligible' simply because they don't like the fact that they refuse to pay bribes and will out people who pay bribes.
if everybody is required to pay a bribe to get in... to get signed off (the inquiry restricts to INTERNATIONAL payment of bribes not LOCAL payment of bribes because 'payment of bribes is the wrong kind of thing to potentially be subject to a serious fraud office inquiry or be prosecuted within new zealand'.
we would rather populate (as in staff) our hospitals with doctors who comply with directive (prescribe this not that and do it with a happy face or never use medical supplies or never set foot inside the hospital) so we can stop paying them at any moment in time (and even deny their qualifications and accuse them of fraud and even involuntarily confine them in conditons of torture if they upset the medical establishemnt too much)... we would rather sign off on all and only the fraudsters who paid bribes.
why else this demand that only allow those with 'minimum standards' into training programmes? those with a dearth of educational background only. those youngsters. all the better to film them taking showers in their residential halls. i suppose there is that.
quite the fraud on all the people.
i have been looking for reason to believe otherwise over the years. some glimmer of integrity
i'm still waiting

This is an outright lie. I was detained under the mental health act, from going crazy in the managed isolation environment. I was put in a seclusion room at the hospital for several days and treated very poorly.
Please continue to pursue this. The truth must come out.
