Reward for expenditure reductions and staff knowledge exceptional circumstances

Gregory Soar made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was successful.

From: Gregory Soar

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

1.Are WINZ staff offered or given any incentives, reward or payments for reducing expenditure on clients be it within employment agreements or otherwise. If yes what are the details of the arrangement please?

2 Are local office managers and staff required to know about the exceptional circumstances scheme?

3. If an office manager or staff member is confronted with an unfimiliarity in their work what would be the expected actions? Example client asks for SNG NON RECOVERABLE DENTALMEMERGENCY EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES $1900. This occurred to me with office manager and staff and floor trainer saying ‘we never do that” thereby preventing the application being accepted and circumventing any required due diligence as required by staff from being undertaken..hence my point number 2 above. This happened twice not once.

4. Will MSD be seeking a prosecution of Brendon Boyle committing non legal actions by falsely signing names on documents? Crimes Act 1961 s66 would bring Boyle within Crimes Act 1961 ss 255, 256 and 257. This was deliberate deception with intent to mislead clients that easily fulfills prosecution guidelines. It is a public interest to know MSD acts morally and legally correct and the chances of a successful prosecution is certainly there..falsely signed documents exist and letters admitting they are false. I have copies of both.

5. If MSD does not intend to prosecute Boyle ( his ended employment matters not as beneficiaries are vilified if they declare falsely etc ) please supply the information as to how that is seen to uphold public confidence and legal requirements please.

Yours faithfully,

Gregory Soar

Dear Info (MSD),

The response to point four and five is a outrageous deceit and totally untruthful.
You are aware that every document signed by MSD WINZ with a false name is the strongest evidence possible of a non legal action. How iardocument copies with false names and letters admitting false names not evidence of illegal activity?

Continued dishonesty at ur State Services organisations still even post the High Court ruling?

Please explain how falsely signed documents and a letter of admission of falsely signed documents equate to your response that no evidence exists.

Yours sincerely,

Gregory Soar
