So we have a situation where Maurice makes a statement about an explosion involving shoddy work in Nelson, in a Pizza Hut, I have told him numerous times about my situation, please see open letters below, the only mention of pizza is the oven fitted one year after the initial install, an initial install that was altered as evidenced by the withheld photos at my hearing (just one thing amongst a very comprehensive body of evidence that I have that this was a witch-hunt).

Now when you read this below in blue....

Thanks for your email regarding this. We definitely did NOT have any gas explosion ever in Nelson Pizza Hut or any of our other stores either.
The comments made by Mr Williamson are obviously incorect. We have fully compliant maintenance and safety programmes in all our stores. You can assure all your friends who ask that we are a safe place to eat.

Regards
David Hill

Regional Operstions Manager Pizza Hut


I have read receipts for my open letters. You got to ask how on earth could Maurice get to this "Pizza Hut" statement in Parliament....how ill informed is he? how much does he listen? did he make it up?

It is blatant what happened to me, it was a fit up.....I was basically framed....no one has been held accountable.

How would you feel if you lost all that I had and then hear shit like this, I believe a level headed person could be forgiven for thinking that not only are the Board covering this up, but a minister is prepared to make untrue statements to cover it up too......
You can't choose who you are.....but you are the sum of your choices.......

And this is the same minister that wants to make illegal actions legal, so the Board can take money from us all ......


Any of this sound fair.......

Building and Construction Minister Maurice Williamson's attempt to correct omitted wording in an act created by the former Labour Government has led to him having to correct his own gaffe.

He blamed it on his penchant for Pizza Hut - the first place that came to mind while speaking in Parliament, and needing an example of the importance of public safety.

"Everybody thought the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board had the right to go after cowboys. There was an explosion in the Pizza Hut in Nelson that nearly killed people. It was appalling work," Mr Williamson said during the second reading of the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Amendment Bill.

It was news to Pizza Hut that one of its stores blew up.

An explosion happened in 2009 at the Milton St fish and chip shop, which destroyed the shop and seriously injured the owner at the time, and led to charges against a gasfitter and his former employer.

Pizza Hut has now sought an apology and a correction to Parliament's records.

General manager Arif Khan told the Nelson Mail that Pizza Hut was incorrectly named in Parliament as the site of an explosion. As a result, it had been contacted by concerned members of the public.

The company has asked for the information in Hansard, Parliament's written record of what is said in the House, to be corrected.

Mr Williamson went on to say he hoped the Labour Opposition was in favour of public safety, and that his aim was to fix up the former Labour Government's act of 2006 - because it forgot to put in the wording about non-licensed practitioners.

Mr Williamson said naming Pizza Hut was a mistake, and he had apologised, but because it was the only pizza his family ever ordered, it was on his mind at the time.

"My kids keep the share price of it up," he said. "It's like Xerox or Hoover - it's just a brand that came to mind."

AND WHAT EXPLOSION MADE IT COME TO MIND MINISTER???

Was it the one that no one has been held responsible for, after spending $220 000.00, was it the total sham hearing that ruined my business? With the LICENSED person who all the evidence pointed to....wasn't even asked about it?

Was it that explosion Minister??????

But its all ok though..... he supports gays and John Key thinks he is funny.

Unbelievable.....where's my bananas.....I have a republic to run......

Sent today, I wonder if I will get a reply this time.....nah I won't....

Dear Mr Williamson, 

Please can you explain what explosion in Nelson brought to mind the brand “Pizza Hut”? And how that would fit into context in your tirade in Parliament.

Please see my comments on the Plumber’s forum under “An open letter to Maurice Williamson”, I have sent you 3 open letters and not received a reply.

these f wits just dont get it aye?!?


we want them to go after unlicensed, non registered persons and people who knowingly employ them but it is the way in which it is funded that is the problem


one of two things are going to happen here - either our industry falls in line with other comparable sectors - OR - all other sectors have our system and such costs implemented upon them if this bullshit goes through

Sadly Integrated, I think the later will happen, they started with the gasfitters about 10 years ago, probably the smallest sector of trades and construction, it has been coming a long time and so much invested in it that it HAS to go through for them.

Tell all the people you know on site that this could happen to anyone of them.

Imagine the next "leaky building" fiasco if the builder signs it off and has done his CPD on flashings and wall claddings, but the "professional" says do it or I'll find another builder. I saw old school builders tell the architects, with a "vision", that it wouldn't work, they were told do it or I'll get another to do it.

The thing is, as far as I am aware, not one of the architects, council inspectors or engineers were blamed for the leaky homes or even the building that killed 115 people in CHCH, according to Maurice they can't even kick them out of IPENZ, they won't let this happen again.....it will be the man with the dog driving a ute that pays for it next time, the schmuck who signs it off, earning much less than the professionals and taking ALL the responsibility.

You will sign it off because if you don't you can't work as it is with the licensing, if you don't have a license you can't work.  What happens if you miss something.....anyone you know who's 100% right 100% of the time, last carpenter who was they nailed to a cross and started a religion.

And even if you do a good job and act with good intentions as I did, you'll loose everything.....nice people aren't they.

Ironic thing is mate I am a stickler for the regs, I was warning about my old boss for 6 years, I want them too to go after cowboys....but they choose who to go after, its sown up for them. What's it going to be like in 10 years time, when they have taken out all the opposition.

If you read what Maurice states in Parliament, but you know that the only known explosion in Nelson was in all probability caused by a licensed gasfitter, who was given his ticket after one oral exam, who owned the firm that did ALL the work there and the last cert done for the job shows no test results for bloody leaks, and in the Board's own words, he never registered the PIZZA OVEN cert with them (which is bullshit because its on their web site register)......and THEN he wasn't even questioned about the chip shop.

What sort of discipline system is Maurice condoning?

And just by co-incidence this Pizza cooking related untruth he tells, if it was accepted.....helps promote his agenda AND helps cover this situation up.

Then just by yet another apparent coincidence ....he raves about an issue that, just about anyone would know, that it would divert the attention away from the untruth, to the point of being asked to go to America.

How about staying here in NZ Maurice and fixing this dire situation....basically do your job Maurice before becoming a gay icon.

nice cartoon , but they missed a couple , BRANZ. BIA . HARDIES , THE PEOPLE WHO INTRODUCED THE PRODUCT . The list could go on , but the punch line is correct , the builder ends up with the blame .

Like so many I have very little faith in our regulatory system

Its just so wrong to blame the guy following designs and drawings all given the once over by the "clever" people....


See below in blue.....sent to every single Politian that I have an email for.......




FYI…….I believe either the Minister is very ill informed and out of touch with his portfolio or perhaps something more sinister is going on.

 

I can’t get Mr Williamson to answer me on this issue, so I have forwards to you all.

 

I believe there is a cover up of a very dire situation that I have paid heavily for; please can some one look in to this from the Government.

 

Please see below for email sent to Mr Williamson earlier today, thank you for your time.

How concerned is Maurice with safety? Will he demand that someone be held accountable for a near fatal explosion, hopefully not relying on an untruth, that just so happens to promote his agenda and covers this bullshit up.....wrong, so very wrong.

So flip flop has read it(see below), but will I get a response? might take a while because he is going to America for a bit .....instead of staying in NZ and fixing his portfolio......


Thank you for your email addressed to the Hon Maurice Williamson.  He will appreciate you taking the time to contact him.

All correspondence, including email,  is entered into our mail tracking process.  Although e-mail delivery is instant, the time required to respond to the high number received makes it impossible to provide an equally instant response from the Minister.

Mr Williamson will read your views but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.

If you have a look at his tirade in Parliament about this plumbers bill to make the illegal actions of the Board legal......in the light of there never being an explosion in any Pizza Hut in any area in NZ.

The only pizza cooking related explosion known, is for the one that ruined my business.

The pizza oven being installed a year after I left the company that carried out ALL the work there, all my work done on the site altered by in all probability my old boss who didn't register this pizza oven cert for this latest work, all carbon copies have the test results empty......but even though this is mentioned in the original compliant by the Dept of Labour......even the pizza oven cert by number is mentioned.......no one thought to ask my old boss what his involvement in all this was.........and still to this day.......

So, do you think Maurice had made an honest mistake in mentioning the appalling work done in Pizza Hut.......he's read all my open letters ::)
