STATUTARY DEMAND TO: DUNEDIN CITY COUNCIL NZBN: 9429041905067
Statutory Demand or Section 289 notice under Companies Act 1993 legislation. Beneficiaries, one for whose benefit Dunedin City Council was created, have a claim against the Trustees/you - being a Partner and Legal Executive in your capacity as the administers a person/legal entity, and as people and all associated, and liabilities listed pursuant to the Companies Act 1993, section 289;
EQUITY MAXIM "HE WHO HARMS ANOTHER SHALL PAY"
To CEO Sandy Graham and Mayor Jules Vincent Radich - Dunedin City Council
Being a party to the Cause, Action, Inaction, Loss, Damage, Director, Shareholder, Bearing, Liability pursuant to Equity, Bible, Legal, Statue Law as in Parliament of New Zealand Statute Law,
Without Prejudice, Judicial Notice, in Equity, Bible, Legal and Statute Law as it is written,
This Statutory Demand is constituted by the Companies Act 1993 Section 289, Equity as in "He who harms another shall pay", Bible- Exodus 22:1-5 "the offender must make restitution from the best of their own field or vineyard", Law as in Statute, Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, Universal Declaration 0f Human Rights 1948 Articles 1-10; 8. Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by law;
On 28 July 2010, through Resolution 64/292, the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realisation of all human rights;
New Zealand is a signatory to this; the Resolution 64/292 calls upon States and international organisations to provide financial resources, help capacity-building and technology transfer to help countries, in particular developing countries, to provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable drinking water and sanitation for all;
"The human right to water is indispensable for leading a life in human dignity. It is a prerequisite for the realization of other human rights. The right to water is the right of everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable and physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses."
The United Nations defines...
"Sufficient". The water supply for each person must be sufficient and continuous for personal and domestic uses. These uses ordinarily include drinking, personal sanitation, washing of clothes, food preparation, personal and household hygiene. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 50 and 100 litres of water per person per day are needed to ensure that most basic needs are met and few health concerns arise.
"Safe". The water required for each personal or domestic use must be safe, therefore free from micro-organisms, chemical substances and radiological hazards that constitute a threat to a person's health.
"Acceptable". Water should be of an acceptable colour, odour and taste for each personal or domestic use. [...] All water facilities and services must be culturally appropriate and sensitive to gender, lifecycle and privacy requirements.
"Physically accessible". Everyone has the right to a water and sanitation service that is physically accessible within, or in the immediate vicinity of the household, educational institution, workplace or health institution. According to WHO, the water source has to be within 1,000 metres of the home and collection time should not exceed 30 minutes.
"Affordable". Water, and water facilities and services, must be affordable for all. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) suggests that water costs should not exceed 3 per cent of household income.
In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation. Everyone has the right to sufficient, continuous, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic use;
On Tuesday, 26 March 2019 the Dunedin City Council signed up to the UN set of global sustainability goals, the Dunedin City Council voted to become a signatory to the United Nations sustainable development goals and support the Otago Polytechnic's application to become a UN regional centre of excellence; the goals include, eliminating extreme poverty and hunger, promoting good health and wellbeing, gender equality and access to clean water;
The UN-SDG goal 6 states that “Water sustains life, but safe clean drinking water defines civilization," Sustainable Development Goal target 6.1 calls for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water; Safe drinking water is defined as the water that does not represent any significant risk to health over a lifetime of consumption. The safe drinking water must be delivered that is pure, wholesome, healthful and potable; Safe drinking water is the water that can be delivered to the user and is safe for drinking, food preparation, personal hygiene and washing. The water must meet the required (chemical, biological and physical) quality standards at the point of supply to the users. Safe drinking water is anonymously accepted as an international agenda and priority, which is evident from the MDGs and SDGs of the United Nations (UN) initiative and vision (MDGs 7 and SDGs 6). Despite the MDGs effort, the people of Dunedin still lack access to safe drinking water; Drinking-water of satisfactory quality is the fundamental indicator of health and well-being of a society and hence, crucial for the development of a country. Contaminated water not only has the potential to pose immediate threat to human, but also can affect an individual productive rate;
The role of a drinking water supplier is to provide adequate water for the community and prevent/mitigate risk of water contamination in different elements/points of water supply system such as source, treatment and distribution. They also should assure the delivery of a safe and esthetically pleasing drinking water to the consumer’s point; the prevention, mitigation and elimination of water contamination are the responsibilities of water providers and regulators; Water regulations are also important for the provision of drinking water that is sufficient in quantity, safe, accessible, acceptable, affordable and reliable;
Drinking-water supply surveillance is “the continuous and vigilant public health assessment and review of the safety and acceptability of drinking-water supplies” (WHO, 1976). The quantity of water used by households has an important influence on health. There is a basic human physiological requirement for water to maintain adequate hydration and an additional requirement for food preparation. There is a further requirement for water to support hygiene, both personal and household, which is necessary for health. All components of systems associated with supplying and delivering drinking-water need to be designed and operated in a manner that protects water quality. Strong acids or bases are not recommended as 154 7. MICROBIAL ASPECTS GUIDELINES FOR DRINKING-WATER QUALITY: FOURTH EDITION INCORPORATING THE FIRST AND SECOND ADDENDA chemical disinfectants for drinking-water, as they are hazardous chemicals that can alter the pH of the water to dangerously low or high levels.
Adding Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) during the treatment phrase substantially deteriorates the Dunedin City source water quality; these major failures associated with treatment processes or the integrity of distribution systems; shows up in epidemiological evidence suggesting that drinking-water is responsible for an outbreak of illness, disability, cancers and deaths; the main objectionability to adding the chemical constituents Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) is based on concerns for adverse health effects. As Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) have an ability to cause health problems after prolonged period of time. That means the chemical constituents Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) have a cumulative effect on humans; this toxic substance is a major health concern in drinking water; Fluoride not only lowers and distorts the brain activity of Adults but also in pregnant Women it permanently lowers the IQ of the Child;
Our records reflect that you have failed in your fiduciary duties, your primary objectives of Dunedin City Council is in ensuring good drinking-water supply, by the practice of the prevention or minimization of contamination of source waters, the reduction or removal of contamination through treatment processes and the prevention of contamination during storage; all your treatment processes is required to show that the treatment processes can operate as required and achieve required levels of hazard reduction; however you are breaching the trust for pecuniary gains at our personal expense and loss;
This is a conflict of interest by you for causing us grievous bodily harm, by deliberate poisoning us with intent; a poison is a substance having an inherent deleterious property which renders it, when taken into the system, capable of destroying life; you have been adding poisons or other noxious substance to our drinking-water; this is a breach of Crimes Act 1961, section 200; and the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990- Section 10 Right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation. Poisoning with intent, with poisons or other noxious substance, and premeditated domestic terrorism; Domestic terrorism is a crime in which the perpetrator targets his/her own country, while Genocide is defined to include killing members of a group; causing serious injury to members of a group; causing permanent impairment to members of a group; subjecting members of a group to conditions intended to be physically destructive; imposing measures to prevent births within the group; or transferring children by force from one group to another if that individual is motivated by the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride), is a waste product collected from the chimneys of the fertilizer industry. This fluoride chemical also contains traces of lead, aluminum, mercury, arsenic, and sometimes uranium; if we swallow any Hydrofluorosilicic acid (fluoride) we must seek immediate medical assistance. Classified as Dangerous Goods by the criteria of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) for transport by sea; DANGEROUS GOODS. Classification: Classified as hazardous according to criteria in the HS (Minimum Degrees of Hazard) Regulations 2001. Subclasses: Subclass 6.1 Category D - Substances which are acutely toxic. Subclass 8.1 Category A - Substances that are corrosive to metals. Subclass 8.2 Category C - Substances that are corrosive to dermal tissue. Subclass 8.3 Category A - Substances that are corrosive to ocular tissue. Ixom-Safety-Data-Sheet-Hydrofluorosilicic-acid.pdf (fluoridefree.org.nz)
Studies have shown that PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) can be present in fluoridated water at levels that exceed the recommended guidelines. Health effects of PFAS in fluoridated water exposure to has been linked to various health effects, includes cancer, reproductive issues, thyroid problems, immune system suppression and neurological effects. PFAS are characterized by multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain. There are thousands of types of PFAS, with varying lengths and fluorine contents. Notable PFAS compounds: Perfluorobutane sulfonamide (H-FBSA), Perfluoropentanesulfonamide (PFPSA), Perfluorohexanesulfonamide (PFHxSA), Perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), Perfluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride (PFBSF) and Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF). PFAS can enter the environment and human body through contaminated drinking water with fluoride added to it. Governments and organizations are working to address PFAS contamination in drinking water and health concerns. For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set drinking water limits for certain PFAS and is developing regulations for their use and disposal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a maximum allowable level of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water.
NOTICE OF FAULT AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE
: The personal injury harms caused by the above-named defenders are:
Emotional distress due to coercion and incompetence from your agents' documentation and through fraudulent claims made that Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) added to the Dunedin City Drinking/ Residential Water supply is beneficial to the ingested for health and prevention of tooth decay without consent; there is however no known essential function for fluoride in cells and organisms, there is no proof of an essential role for fluoride; there is no evidence that Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) added to the Dunedin City Drinking/ Residential Water supply is to offer any prophylactic (preventative), protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose;
Physical Harm and serious injury due to adding Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) - 16.8 tonnes per year - a known toxic biohazard waste product into the Dunedin City Drinking/ Residential Water supply. Fluoride is a human developmental neurotoxicant that reduces measures of intelligence, placing it into the same category as toxic metals (lead, methylmercury, arsenic) and polychlorinated biphenyls, symptoms due to swallowing Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) can result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, chemical burns to the gastrointestinal tract (mouth, throat and abdomen); perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, vomiting of blood, eroded tissue, collapse and coma may result, corrosive to eyes; contact can cause corneal burns and blindness, contact with skin will result in severe irritation, corrosive to skin - may cause skin burns, inhalation will produce respiratory irritation and fluid buildup in the lungs, dental fluorosis, cognition decline, depression, anxiety, mental health issues, decreased intelligence, memory deficits, learning difficulties, ADHD, mitochondrial abnormal function, cancers, respiratory arrest, cardiac depression, vomiting, diarrhea, and salivation, fluoride-induced mitochondrial damage may include structural changes, damage resulting in neuroinflammation, altered neurotransmitter levels, and disruptions to key signaling pathways; see References 1-65; it has been clinically established that Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) causes an unprecedented incidence of disease, permanent disabilities, and death; serious injury includes permanent loss of bodily function or temporary severe loss of bodily function, hearing loss, poisoning, vision impairment, bone fracture, laceration, crushing, amputation of body part, burns requiring specialist treatment, injury causing loss of consciousness, any injury that causes the person to be hospitalised for 48 hours or more;
Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) meet the legal definition of chemical weapons which is an agent, toxin and/or delivery device for use other than prophylactic (preventative), protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose;
Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) meet the legal definition of toxins, poisons, and weapons of mass destruction as they are a chemical weapon able to cause widespread devastation and loss of life;
Whereas a person who manufactures, possesses, sells, delivers, displays, uses, attempts to use, or conspires to use, or who makes readily accessible to others a weapon of mass destruction, chemical weapons, poisons, toxins, commit a Crime;
Whereas when you add the poison Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) to the Dunedin City Drinking/ Residential Water supply, you are effectively forcing poison onto every man, woman and child in the city, and the people do not consent to be poisoned by having others pouring a toxin into their water supply;
Whereas in New Zealand the USE OF POISON AND POISONED WEAPONS IS PROHIBITED in is classified as a WAR CRIME. Members of the NZDF are not to use poison or poisoned weapons. The prohibition of the use of poison and poisoned weapons draws on widely held ethical beliefs and is also founded on the inherently indiscriminate nature of poison. A poisoned water source is likely to cause widespread and indiscriminate destruction and loss of life, and also be causative of superfluous injury and unnecessary suffering and is likely to cause widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment. Poisoning of sources of water or food is prohibited. ALL and ANY material, that will render water or foodstuff poisonous is unlawful. The USE OF POISON AND POISONED WEAPONS IS PROHIBITED law is found in 7.6.32, 7.6.33, 7.6.34 of Chapter 7 of DM 69 (2ed) Volume 4. Every person who commits the offence of USE OF POISON AND POISONED WEAPONS, is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life or a fine not exceeding $1,000,000.
Financial Loss because of deceiving in documents for pecuniary gains via agents doing business with NZ agent via illegal contracts to deliberate poison us with intent, with poisons or other noxious substances, these contracts is illegal at law and in equity, where the illegality arises from the creation and the performance of the contract; as the contract to add Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) to the Dunedin City Water supply contains an illegal provision, Consolidated Chemicals who supply and manufacture Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride) which is disposed of into the Dunedin City Drinking/ Residential Water supply without consent, our records reflect an annual cost to beneficiaries of $33,096 depending on tonnage used;
In New Zealand the USE OF POISON AND POISONED WEAPONS IS PROHIBITED in is classified as a WAR CRIME. Acting in OFFICIAL CAPACITY, affords no defense, excuse or justification for crimes;
Whereas in NEW ZEALAND, OFFICIAL CAPACITY, the official capacity, position or rank of a person; affords no defense, excuse or justification for crimes and is not considered in mitigation of punishment, this Statue shall apply equally to all persons without any distinction based on official capacity. In particular, official capacity as Head of State or Government, a member of a Government or parliament, an elected representative or a government official shall in no case except a person from criminal responsibility under this Statue, nor shall it, in and of itself, constitute ground for a reduction in sentence. Immunities and special procedural rules which may attach to the official capacity of a person, shall not bar the Court from exercising its jurisdiction over such a person. The OFFICIAL CAPACITY law is 17.7.7 (a) (b) (c) of Chapter 17 of DM 69 (2ed) Volume 4.
Through your fraudulent claims in trespassing against us, administrating without right; we demand you restore all our drinking/residential water supplies back to a natural organic state; you must ensure that the drinking water supplied is safe, safe in relation to drinking water, means drinking water that is unlikely to cause a serious risk of death, injury, disability, or any acute or chronic illness, immediately or over time; and whether or not the serious risk is caused by— the consumption or use of drinking water; or other causes together with the consumption or use of drinking water, and you must take immediate action to ensure public health is protected;
Through your fraudulent claims in trespassing against us, administrating without right; we demand you pay us $4 million for the emotional, physical and financial harm that you have caused to us (Pamela, Jasmine, Annabelle and Alice Taylor) for poisoning us with Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) (Fluoride).
The law is very clear on statutory demand;

A poisoned water source is as likely to kill a civilian as a combatant. However, poisoning of sources of water or food is prohibited even if the force is certain that only enemy combatants will use it or if warnings are given. Poisons and poisoned weapons are causative of superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering – especially since they are likely to render death inevitable.97 7.6.34 The poison need not be chemical; the prohibition includes use of the bodies of dead animals or people, faeces or any other material that will render water or foodstuff poisonous;
New Zealand Defense Force Law CHEMICAL WEAPONS ARE PROHIBITED 7.5.11 Chemical weapon means a munition or device specifically designed to cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to animals or humans through the release of toxic chemicals. The chemicals and their precursors are also considered to be chemical weapons, as are munitions and devices used to deliver the chemicals to a target and other equipment designed to be used in connection with such munitions and devices. The term includes ‘poisonous gas’.
