What are the Police hiding?

The Dom Post reports:

Former National Party leader Don Brash has hit out at police stonewalling over the release of files surrounding one of the great political whodunits.

The mystery has only deepened as police stymie all attempts to disclose the file into the publication of Dr Brash’s private emails.

In the latest letter rejecting a request to release the file under the Official Information Act, police have cited the need to protect confidential informants. They have also insisted that the investigation remain open, despite a statement a year ago by outgoing police inspector Harry Quinn that the investigation was closed.

If the file is closed, it should be released. Simple.

The Dominion Post asked for a copy of the police file a year ago. Police sought several extensions of the deadline and then said the request had been lost.

Hmmn. That makes me very curious.
