Who stole the e-mails?

On Agenda yesterday Winston Peters alleged “An insider stole them from inside the National Party, the National Party know who that person is.”

Don Brash has said this is rubbish and said Peters has a duty to go to the Police if he knows who committed a crime.

Labour rightfully deplore the EB hiring private detectives to look for dirt on them. How they can justify having their Government using e-mails stolen from the Leader of the Opposition is outraegous. In the USA a candidate found to be in possession of materials taken from an opposing candidate is pilloried if they do not immediately return them. Politics should be higher than using stolen e-mails to score political points.

If Labour and NZ First do not return the stolen e-mails, then they can have no cause for complaint if private detectives are following them around.
