Parliamentary scandals
As there is no existing page, I plan to set up a permanent page listing all the significant parliamentary scandals, building on the list I did for the Herald. The definition of significant in subjective but as a general guideline I would take it as a resignation occurred or there was some sort of external investigation. What I hope to do is have a table that lists:
- MP//s involved
- Alleged wrong-doing
- Date
- Outcome
Here’s the ones I have to date:
- Colin Moyle, Moyle Affair 1977
- Duncan Macintyre and one other, Marginal Loans Board Affair 1980
- Keith Allen, reported fictitious assault, 1984
- Koro Wetere, Maori Loans affair, 1989
- Denis Marshall, Cave Creek, 1990s
- Neil Kirton, conflict of interest, 1997
- Murray McCully, Tourism Board, 1999
- Tuariki Delamere, conflict of interest, 1999
