Complaint : Denied access to the SGM & AGM on the 18th June 2022 by Geraldine Baker (GM) Kahukuraariki Trust Board

Dear Trust Board,

On Saturday 18th June 2022 I was denied access to the SGM & AGM by Geraldine Baker (GM). According to Clause 33.1 and 33.2 of your Trust Deed, as an Adult Member of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa (registered or not) I was entitled to attend the recent SGM on the 18 June 2022, and that Geraldine Baker had no legal right to cancel my invitation and deny me access. I informed Geraldine Baker (GM) via email that I did not need to be a registered member to attend the hui, however at 9:03am on the 18th June 2022 I received an email from Zoom stating, “Your registration for webinar Kahukuraariki Trust Board SGM and AGM has been cancelled”.

In denying me access she has denied me the opportunity to present my letter and plead my case in relation to the ownership of Stoney Creek Station, which would have made a material difference to the outcome of any decisions made or accepted at the SGM.

As such I demand that any decisions made or accepted at the SGM be voided immediately, and that another SGM be scheduled where all Adult Members of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa (registered or not) are allowed to attend and participate.

I give each Trust Board member this one opportunity to correct this serious breach of their Trust Deed before I take legal action against each individual Trust Board member under the Trust Act 2019.

Nga mihi

Graham Williams
