More Benson-Pope witnesses

Rodney casually mentions in a post about his Dunedin visit that a student in the audience, two former teachers, a taxi driver and an electrician have all confirmed the stories about David Benson-Pope.

Nevertheless I don’t expect the Police will lay charges. Just like Paintergate they will find that prima facae a case exists but not in the public interest to lay charges (never mind they pursued Shane Ardern over such a trivial issue). The Government will then try to spin that this means he has been cleared.

Likewise I suspect the Speaker will try and delay the case going to Privileges on the grounds of the Police investigation.
