Former NZ First candidate jailed for fraud

David Stevenson has been jailed for two years and three months for stealing over $210,000 from vulnerable clients.

Stevenson was one of those self appointed Elliot Splitzer types – holier than thou. He campaigned against higher salaries and pensions for Judges and MPs, and then stole money to increase his own salary. He stood for NZ First in 1993 I think.

Incidentally in looking through candidate lists, I notice another former NZ First candidate is a Chris Comeskey – presumably the same one who was involved in gettig the war medals returned.
