Well done The Greens

The Greens have today said they will will not vote for any law that legalises any election spending deemed to be unlawful, and further their MPs and party would pay back any funding the Auditor-General says should not have been spent on election material.

Bravo. Like ACT, are now doing the right thing.

Jeanette Fitzsimons still beleives the AG has been inconsistent in his interpretation of the spending rules, but correctly says it was not right for MPs to use their lawmaking powers to overturn his findings.

This now leaves only Labour, NZ First and United Future refusing to pay it back, or refusing to state what they will do.
