Forensic Report: The Systemic Invalidity of the Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust Kāhui

A Constitutional and Evidentiary Analysis of the Papa Winikerei Disinheritance Conspiracy and its Contamination of Post-Settlement Governance Structures Report Status: FINALIZED Date: December 14, 2025

Executive Summary: The Architecture of Administrative Tyranny

The legitimacy of New Zealand's Treaty settlement landscape is predicated on the assumption that Post-Settlement Governance Entities (PSGEs) are the rightful custodians of tribal history and assets. This report challenges that presumption regarding the Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust.

Core Allegation

The Trust has become the institutional repository for assets derived from a "widespread criminal enterprise" orchestrated in 1947 by Judge Robert Preshaw Dykes and his wife, Ruby Frances Victoria Bock.

The "Dykes-Bock Mechanism"

The legitimate land titles of the Papa Winikerei lineage were systematically severed and transferred to a favored faction (the Haua Tuhera Kiriona estate) via:

  • Forgery
  • "Geodetic displacement"
  • Misfeasance in public office

Asset Laundering Chain

These stolen assets were laundered through a 77-year chain of custody:

  • Kiriona Estate (1947)
  • Fulton Family (c.1960-2017)
  • Creswell Family (2017)
  • Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust (April 5, 2024)

Part I: The Historical Anatomy of the Fraud (1947)

1.1 The Dykes-Bock Mechanism

The "Dykes-Bock Mechanism" was a "closed-loop domestic conspiracy":

| Component | Function |

|-----------|----------|

| Spousal Shield | Judge Dykes used his wife as "shadow clerk," eliminating independent oversight | | Holiday Raids | Conducted during dormant periods when courthouses were empty | | Geodetic Displacement | Processed Mahia land orders in Mercer (300km away) | | Ghost Records | Created Minute Book entries for hearings that never occurred |

1.2 The "Holiday Raid" Strategy

Definitive Date: January 31, 1947

| Variable | Standard Session | Holiday Raid |

|----------|------------------|--------------|

| Witness Density | High | Zero |

| Record Security | Monitored | Unsecured |

| Public Notification | Gazette/Hearings | None |

| Processing Speed | Deliberative | Instantaneous |

1.3 Geodetic Displacement

  • Actual Location: Mahia Peninsula / Wairoa (Hawke's Bay)
  • Record Location: Mercer (Waikato) - 300km away
  • Purpose: Prevent legitimate owners from discovering the theft

Part II: The Victimology of Erasure

2.1 Civil Death

The conspiracy resulted in "identity fraud" causing "civil death" for the Winikerei family:

  • Lost standing to speak on marae
  • Lost right to derive income from land
  • Lost ability to pass heritage to children

2.2 Manufactured Abandonment

Following 1947, the land was classified as "abandoned" because:

  • Winikerei heirs were unaware of the Mercer order
  • The state used this manufactured silence to justify alienation
  • Land was transferred to "proxies" of the conspiracy

Part III: The Beneficiary - The Kiriona Syndicate

3.1 Collusion with Corrupt Factions

The Haua Tuhera Kiriona estate actively colluded with Judge Dykes:

  • Provided "genealogical information" (whakapapa) for manipulation
  • Received land titles in Poroutawhao, Maungakōtukutuku, and Waikanae 1
  • This was "data laundering" in exchange for stolen assets

3.2 Recursive Fraud (1880s)

The 1947 conspiracy may have been a "maintenance upgrade" to fraud dating back to the 1880s:

  • 1880 Native Land Court awards to Kiriona Whamaro also challenged
  • Multi-generational strategy of asset capture

Part IV: The Asset Laundering Chain (1947-2024)

Phase I: The Fulton Proxy (c.1960-2017)

  • Held asset in "stasis" for 57 years
  • Accrued usufructuary benefits (grazing, lease income, capital appreciation)
  • "Cooling" period for the stolen asset

Phase II: The Creswell Deepening (2017)

  • Created new layer of "indefeasibility"
  • Transformed from "Māori Land Court issue" to "private property right"
  • Erected legal shield against Winikerei heirs

Phase III: Institutional Capture (April 5, 2024)

  • Transferred to Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust
  • Asset "bunkered" behind Treaty jurisprudence
  • Commingled with legitimate settlement assets
  • The "wash" - specific criminal origin obscured

Part V: Constitutional and Legal Analysis

5.1 Misfeasance in Public Office

| Element | Evidence | Consequence |

|---------|----------|-------------|

| Public Officer | Dykes was warranted Judge | Abuse of State Power |

| Improper Purpose | Fraudulent enrichment of Kiriona | Ultra Vires |

| Malice/Knowledge | Holiday Raids, Spousal Shield | Mens Rea established |

| Material Damage | Total loss of land, income, standing | Actionable Harm |

5.2 Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

  • Original 1947 transfer is void ab initio
  • All subsequent titles (Fulton, Creswell, Trust) are also void
  • Land technically still belongs to Papa Winikerei estate

5.3 Constitutional Breaches

  • Article 2 Breach: Crown failed to protect tino rangatiratanga
  • Denial of Natural Justice: Holiday Raid denied right to be heard
  • Separation of Powers: Dykes collapsed judicial safeguards

Part VI: The Invalidation of the Seven Kāhui

6.1 Systemic Infection

The Trust's assets form a common corpus funding all seven Kāhui. If a significant portion is "fruit of the poisonous tree," the entire organism is infected.

6.2 Specific Invalidation of Ngāti Rakaipaaka

  • Illegitimate Mana: Kiriona landholdings are fraudulent, therefore their mana is illegitimate
  • Governing Stolen Land: The Kāhui governs the very lands stolen from Winikerei
  • Kiriona Influence: If Kāhui leadership is dominated by Kiriona line, it cannot deliver justice

6.3 The Judicial Blockade

Case CJ 2016/26 has been stalled for 8+ years:

  • State actively protecting Trust's assets
  • Delay is not neutral - it's active intervention
  • Trust operating under cloud of unresolved litigation

Conclusion: The Imperative for Dissolution and Restitution

Recommendations

  • Declaration of Invalidity: Suspend mandates of seven Kāhui pending forensic audit
  • Voiding of Titles: Declare 30 Mercer MB 141 and all subsequent titles void ab initio
  • Restitution: Return land to Papa Winikerei lineage
  • Systemic Review: Commission of Inquiry into "Holiday Raid" strategy nationwide
Justice demands not just the correction of a record, but the dismantling of the structures built upon the lie.
