NZ First needs to pay up

Has there ever been a more conniving or manipulative politician in New Zealand than Winston Peters. New Zealand First having been caught stealing from the tax payer and ordered by the Auditor General, Kevin Brady to pay the money that they spent illegally decided to “donate” the debt they owe the taxpayer to Starship Hospital. “We don’t want it”, said Starship, when given the cheque for $158,000. Unfazed and undaunted Peters then spreads the money around other charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Association.

CFA have also said thanks but no thanks and Peters has rounded on to them big time.

It’s time NZ First did the right thing, stopped dragging charity organizations into the political arena and pay back the money it owes the tax payer.
