The Electoral Commission has found that NZ First has done nothing it can be prosecuted for. Any likely offences regarding reporting of donations are too old to be actioned and none were committed within the current window of legal liability.
On the other hand, the ACT Party has been found to have not correctly declared the benefit of office space provided to that party by businessman Sir Robert Jones in 2005. They are being asked to submit an amended return.
I had a feeling when this all began that Winston Peters would successfully navigate the shoals of waiting pirahna.....and it would appear he has done so, though at some cost to his reputation with respect the donation from Owen Glenn.
My attention now turns to whether or not Winston Peters and NZ First climb back from their current low poll ratings and win seats in the next parliament. If enough people vote for him, he will.
Why they would want to vote for him is no more clear to me now than it ever was.
