PM spins on refund

Almost amused that once again when questioned on the taxpayer funded pledge cards, Helen refers to the Exclusive Brethren pamphlets also being under investigation.

What she fails to mention is that the complaint about how they should be part of National’s return has already been considered and dismissed as having no merit.

There is still an outstanding matter relating to improper authorisation on one of the pamphlets but that is of course a matter purely for the Brethren and relatively minor compared to the $418,000 over-spend.
