Shame

Today is the end of the financial year for Government.

The NZ First Party has not paid back even a single cent of their $157,934 illegal expenditure. Shame on them.

Winston Peters and his party have made excuse after excuse to delay and avoid accountability. They want to talk to lawyers, they want to consider options, someone is overseas etc etc.

United Future have paid about $50,000 of the original $71,867. I have some sympathy for their position as a very small party, but the honourable thing to do would be to borrow the difference from a bank, not leave the debt partially unpaid at the end of the financial year.
