I refer to your official information request dated 22 November 2021.
Please find the information you requested regarding accessing Council
services and facilities [1]here.
Tasman District Council, like all public building owners, must comply with
new legislation set out by central government in respect of entry to
public buildings and community facilities.
Local Government rates are a tax on property, not a user pays system. The
rates we charge have been set to make public facilities available for use.
The use of these buildings and facilities is a choice.
As a result, regardless of the reason for an individual’s choice to not
use a facility, the liability for rates will remain.
If you are not satisfied with Council’s response, you have the right to
seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how
to make a complaint is available at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to
contact the Operational Governance team on [3][email address].

Dear LGOIMA,
Thankyou
I believe TDC have made an error in their response to question number 2.
As Councils are corporations its both illegal and unlawful for corporations to issue and gather taxes and yet here they confess to issue and gather taxes.
Theres something very wrong here.
Question 1. Has been answered.
Question 2. TDCs response does not make any legal sense and Im awaiting an honest and legal answer.

Dear LGOIMA,
Hi TDC
Thankyou
Acts and Legislation ONLY Bind The Crown and ONLY apply to "persons" which is a paper only entity.
As a sovereign woman of the land and Kaitiaki of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa NZ will you please show me the "Law" that applies to me personally regarding your Land Tax aka Rates.
Yours sincerely,
Barbara
From: LGOIMA
Tasman District Council
Kia ora Barbara
Thankyou for your email.
It appears you have raised a challenge to your obligation to pay rates.
Your obligation to pay rates
Rates are levied pursuant to Local Government (Rating) Act 2002. By virtue
of section 60 of that Act, you may not refuse to pay rates by claiming
they are invalid unless you bring legal proceedings in the High Court.
You have not issued High Court legal proceedings and therefore must pay
your rates as they fall due.
What happens if you don't pay your rates?
If you do not pay your rates, Council can take action to obtain the amount
you owe. We invest time and effort into the collection of unpaid rates to
be fair to the majority of property owners who do pay their rates on
time.
Sections 63 - 76 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 allows Council
to take legal action to recover overdue rates. Ultimately, this means that
Council can demand the forced sale of the defaulting ratepayer’s property
order to recover the amount owed. This process also attracts costs,
penalties and interest.
Next steps
Council encourages you to seek independent legal advice on the validity of
your claim.
If you wish to challenge your obligation to pay rates, you must take the
appropriate legal action.

Dear LGOIMA,
Hi.
I did ask you to provide the LAW
You continued to quote the Acts which are only for persons not people.
Did you fail to provide the Law because there is NO LAW?
Or did you fail to provide the Law because you dont know its relevance?
Please dont go off on your personal tangents and opinions.
The Law is suffice.
If you cannot provide me the relevant Law then please explain and answer the question as all youve done so far is provide Acts and Legislation and your own personal tirade which are not at all relevant to people, only persons - which are paper entities, and Im not a paper entity Im a real living woman.
Therefore please provide the actual Law.
Yours sincerely,
Barbara

NZ Land Tax was abolished in 1992.
There is currently NO Land Tax in NZ.
For TDC to call rates Land Tax is both Illegal and Unlawful as per Legislation and Law.

Hey Barbara, the A in LGOIMA stands for Act. If acts don't apply to you, how are you using an act of parliament to require the council to provide you with information?
Barbara left an annotation ()
As people we are allowed to choose at any given time and situation whether to use common Law or its subservient Acts and Legislation.
Mr Rodgers left an annotation ()
That's a good thing to know. As I don't consent to the Crimes Act, I think I'll go and murder my neighbours.
Barbara left an annotation ()
Mr Rodgers
This is not facebook or any other social media platform. Please control yourself and keep any annotations you wish to make here relevant. Your annotation is out of order and will be ignored from this point onwards.
Dear LGOIMA please block Mr Rodgers from future annotations to my LGOIMA request.
Thankyou.

Dear ADMIN
Will you please remove Mr Rodgers annotation as it is vexatious.
Will you please also report Mr Rodgers to NZ Police as he has clearly stated that he is going to "KILL HIS NEIGHBOURS".
Thankyou
Barbara left an annotation ()
A small correction to my last annotation that was addressed to Admin regarding a frivolus annotation made by Mr Rodgers.
The words "clearly stated that he is going to kill his neighbours."
To be replaced with the words:
"clearly stated that he is thinking about killing his neighbours."
Thankyou.

Subject: RE: Official Information request - Denial of entry to council
facilities and amenities if unvaccinated
Dear LGOIMA,
Hi.
I did ask you to provide the LAW
You continued to quote the Acts which are only for persons not people.
Did you fail to provide the Law because there is NO LAW?
Or did you fail to provide the Law because you dont know its relevance?
Please dont go off on your personal tangents and opinions.
The Law is suffice.
If you cannot provide me the relevant Law then please explain and answer
the question as all youve done so far is provide Acts and Legislation and
your own personal tirade which are not at all relevant to people, only
persons - which are paper entities, and Im not a paper entity Im a real
living woman.
Therefore please provide the actual Law.
Yours sincerely,
Barbara

Thankyou for your email.
It appears you have raised a challenge to your obligation to pay rates.
Your obligation to pay rates
Rates are levied pursuant to Local Government (Rating) Act 2002. By virtue
of section 60 of that Act, you may not refuse to pay rates by claiming
they are invalid unless you bring legal proceedings in the High Court.
You have not issued High Court legal proceedings and therefore must pay
your rates as they fall due.
What happens if you don't pay your rates?
If you do not pay your rates, Council can take action to obtain the amount
you owe. We invest time and effort into the collection of unpaid rates to
be fair to the majority of property owners who do pay their rates on
time.
Sections 63 - 76 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 allows Council
to take legal action to recover overdue rates. Ultimately, this means that
Council can demand the forced sale of the defaulting ratepayer’s property
order to recover the amount owed. This process also attracts costs,
penalties and interest.
Next steps
Council encourages you to seek independent legal advice on the validity of
your claim.
If you wish to challenge your obligation to pay rates, you must take the
appropriate legal action.

I have just made a complaint to the Ombudsmans Office and awaiting a response.

I'd love to see the ombudsman's reply. Please post it when you get it. The council answered both of your requests, the first one they provided you a link to the public information and the second one they said that the information does not exist, there is no break down per facility per rate payer.
It sounds like you don't like the answer that you've received rather than the council has failed to comply with the OIA. They gave you the information you requested, but you didn't like it, the ombudsman can't change that. I wonder if you're expecting the ombudsman to approve your request to not pay rates.

Hello Chris. Are you from TDC trolling here. Stop it.
I have never said anything about not paying my rates.
TDC employee created that myth as witnessed right here in this request.
And you trying to push the lying narrative that the TDC employee tried to push, and wrongly so. It makes you appear to be a deliberate troll and perhaps even a TDC employee.
I suggest you stop your creation of fantasy regarding MY questions as Im certain the Ombudsman will see right through your nonsense.
Stop it and go away. Trolling not required. This is not a social media platform.
Stop your nonsense.
Question 2 remains unanswered.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

In answer to your first question where they say "Here" you will notice a number — just like a footnote.
If you go to the bottom of their message you will see "show quoted sections" — click on that
