Go Winnie.. tries to quietly slip the first admission through the media...
quote:
Winston Peters has owned up to a cash donation - but only after his hand was forced by the Serious Fraud Office.
So much for the SFO being biased. Without their contribution he would likely never have done this.
quote:
Mr Peters' (accounts) amendment yesterday read: "Cash donation towards Tauranga electoral petition costs - Spencer Trust."
FYI, this 40k is a gift. It is 80 times the allowable gift value (of $500) for MPs or parties. This gift is required to be surrendered to parliament or OKed personally by the PM. Which will it be?
OK.. now for 2006 and 2005 please Winnie. You'd better start sucking on those lemons.
