When is the Auditer General going to get stuck into this? Or is it ouside his areas of responsibility?

By the way what has happened to Graeme Edgeler (is that name right) who used to provide informed legal comment on such matters.?

I wonder if the auditor could write a letter showing the receipt or book balance encompassing $158,000 and its disbursement to sundry un-named charities.

The auditor’s letter shows that it is possible to have a bob each way if you’re within Winston’s Reality Distortion Zone. No need to bother with the pesky business of inspecting actual records — just take the word of the client. Then, if events change, note that you were correct based on the information received at the time, but that you would still be correct now if events have changed as alleged!

The Electoral Commission with their rulings is starting to look more and more politically biased and less the impartial agency they are supposed to be.

gee..dpf..did the kingpins of the plot against peters thank you for all your anti-peters efforts/writings..?

..efforts above and beyond the call of duty..eh..?

..and all for nought..

..eh..?

..are you planning on formally apologising to peters..?

..for..y’know..!

..calling him every name under the sun..?

..and for stoking the witch-hunt-fires..?

..and how about that rodney..?

..eh..?..

..btw..i would like to note that whoar.co.nz was one of the few news outlets to smell a rat..from day one..

..and also questioned from day one the eye-watering gall/hypocrisy of hide/key..

..both up to their eyeballs in millions of dollars from slush-funds/secret donations..

..being all self-rightous/pious..against peters..

..over amounts that are small change compared to the rightwing/big business flows/sums (millions) of money given to national/act..

..eh..?

Everyone knows that auditors just look at the file and do what was done the previous year!
