Initially, I received no reply from the Human Rights
Commission, and I received none of the usual delivered copies of the
(free) Kapiti
News in my home letterbox after 10 April. So I rang the Human Rights
Commission, who told me that my complaint had not been actioned.
I complained about that and said that I thought that someone at the
Human Rights Commission had probably contacted the Kapiti News to tell
them about my complaint, which was why I was not receiving the newspaper.
(This fits in with my experience when I had put a complaint to
the Human Rights Commission about The Correspondence School, where
I had been working. The Human Rights Commission rejected my
complaint, so I lodged it with the Director of Human Rights Proceedings,
asking him to take my case to the Human Rights Tribunal. When
I walked from my car to the Human Rights Commision for a meeting with
the Director of Human Rights Proceedings, I found Marilyn Doak (a
close associate of my former boss, Maggie Friend) apparently waiting
for me near the Human Rights Commission! There must have been
a leak in that instance, as well.)
After I had spoken to the Human Rights Commission's Chief Mediator,
a woman called Holly McGruther was assigned to my case, and she appeared
to have resolved the matter by 10 June 2013, when she rang me and reported
a successful outcome.
I also started receiving my usual copies of the Kapiti News again.
However, as can be seen below, I had to make a repeat complaint about
the same restaurant and the same newspaper later. |
