Freedom New Zealand

There are plenty of examples of IRD cases gone horribly wrong. IRD (WINZ, ACC & the rest of the government included also as scum thugs) is a scum bag agency which is not needed and works for the foreign corporation, publicly known as the reserve bank of New Zealand. Read the Open Letter to the New Zealand People by Kelvyn Alp from the Direct Democracy Party for more info about the real ways of how monetary and taxation works in this country.

Air conditioning technician Ian Mutton committed suicide in 1996 after being pursued by the IRD for years over debt that started from a missed $84 tax payment. Mutton's 13-year-old son killed himself a year later.

In 1998, the IRD chased Christchurch entrepreneur Dave Henderson for $70,000. He said he did not owe it and after four years the IRD ended up paying him $65,000. He later purchase a building IRD used to work out of, in which I believe to show them whose in power, him.

In 1999, Jan and Murray Willis were awarded more than half a million dollars in compensation after being harassed by the IRD.

But recently the N.Z Herald cover another example article titled 'Debts forced man to fake own suicide', but they don't mention much more than this person is wrong, seemingly IRD are right. Only the legal system's side is covered. I have included briefly that story below to show the bias and limited intellectual abilities of the mainstream media.

The Auckland man who allegedly faked his own death faced mounting debts, tax problems and the possibility of benefit fraud charges.

His wife, who presumed him dead, went on to collect a $1 million life insurance policy.

Court documents show the man, who cannot be identified because of a suppression order, was known as a caring father before he disappeared at a Port Waikato beach in late 2002.

He was later legally declared dead, presumed suicide, but had actually started a new life in Christchurch.

The documents, presented for the declaration of death, show the man and his wife - who had just separated - had been the subjects of a lengthy Inland Revenue investigation.

In an affidavit, the wife said the man's income-tax liability had been uncovered. After taking legal advice they feared that benefits they were paid while he worked would also be uncovered and that they could be prosecuted by Work and Income.

The couple had no way of paying back the estimated $47,000 in benefits to mitigate a jail sentence.

"[The man] wanted to ensure that I was not prosecuted, that I did not receive a jail sentence. I am aware that this weighed heavily with him," the wife said.

"[He] himself was worried about going to jail. He was fearful that he would not be able to handle jail."

The man was arrested last month after applying for a passport under his real name, and faces fraud charges in relation to two life insurance policies, and dishonestly using a document.

He is in custody and due to reappear in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday.

The wife was initially named as a party to the fraud but police no longer believe she was involved.

It is unclear if she will be able to keep the insurance payout.

The wife described an argument they had before his disappearance in which he said "the only way to fix the problem with Winz and the IRD was for him to end his life so that I could make a claim on his life insurance and this would enable debts to be cleared and for the children to be set up financially for their lifetimes".
