As previously reported on this blog, New Zealand's Shewan inquiry's own work into NZ foreign trust should have led to the 1MDB theft, the proceeds of which are being hidden in part, by the family of Larry Low Hock Peng using a NZ Foreign Trsut.The beneficiaries include his son Jho Low, who has been the subject of international media attention since at least early 2015,with regards his central role in the 1MDB affair. Despite all that reporting and ongoing investigations in the US, UK, Switzerland and Hong Kong, the Shewan Inquiry declared that there was no direct evidence of illicit funds being hidden in New Zealand foreign trusts.
The Shewan Inquiry managed to come to that conclusion despite Jho Low's visits to New Zealand on his private jet and yacht.That these visits did not come to the attention of the New Zealand Department Of Premier & Cabinet's National Security & Intelligence Group is hard to believe, given the amount of data concerning these visits in even the public domain.
Observed at Dunedin airport, this Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, made an interesting addition to an otherwise routine domestic flight. The aircraft registration is N689WM and the date 8 August 2015.
Global 5000 N689WM, operated by Malaysia based Wynton Group/Jet Aviation Flight Services Inc, arrived at Dunedin late morning 03 August direct from Bali. It is understood the passengers then caught a chartered Airwork/Inflite Metroliner for the journey to Queenstown.
One of the world's most spectacular superyachts is lording it at Auckland's waterfront.
The 91.5m Equanimity accommodates up to 26 guests and comes with all the bells and whistles you would expect from a billionaire owner.
The boat has a helicopter landing deck and boasts its own 20m pool, gym, spa, turkish bath, beauty salon, elevator, movie theatre and "beach club". The boat's interior is also said to be decorated in gold.
It is believed to be owned by reclusive Malaysian billionaire Jho Low who has been using it to entertain famous friends at exotic locations around the world.
Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx are said to be fans of the superyacht. Gangnam Style singer Psy, socialite Paris Hilton and actress-model Kate Upton are other well-known faces who have attended lavish parties on board.
The vessel was built in 2013 and is manned by a crew of 26.
In the past few months Equanimity has visited Florida, Holland, South Korea, Greenland, Alaska and Japan.
A crew member from a neighbouring vessel said it was thought the superyacht was in Auckland for maintenance work.

by Ganesh Sahathevan NSW LPAB's 23-24 Annual Report has additonal defeciencies The NSW LPAB's PLT scandal is not cost free, and so far included the expemse of the URBIS survey, and the internal PLT working group review. It is likely that other costs have and will be incurred, in the course of unravelling a scandal that the NSW LPAB would have been aware of since at least 2006. There is also a paper trail to show that the NSW LPAB Executive Officer at the time, Louise Pritchard, had personal knowledge of governance matters which concerned the PLT, but were however excluded from the NSW LPAB Annual Report 2018 (see story below).

by Ganesh Sahathevan This worter bought a Kärcher WD 2 Premium Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner (pictured above) trusting the brand name, and German technology. However , there was only disappointment for after just a few infrequent uses, the machine lost suction after tipping over on its side, onto a carpeted floor. Parts were replaced, tubes were checked for blockage, but nothing worked. Kärcher was contacted, but disappointingly Kärcher could only suggest that it would be better to buy a new unit , for that would be cheaper than even the cost of inspection by one of their authorised technicians. Another email was sent, this time to CEO Hartmut Jenner. The long winded response is reproduced below in full, but the story is in the last paragraph: So based on these three factors, and that the unit has been tipped over, none of these are a warrantable defect, or simply a manufacturing defect. So this is why it was suggested tha...
