Who are the parties Owen has donated to?

It is on the public record that Owen Glenn has stated he has donated to more than one political party in NZ, which means at least one party on top of Labour.

Audrey Young reveals the state of play as to denials:

National: Won’t discuss donors.
NZ First: Leader Winston Peters says no, president Dail Jones doesn’t know
Greens: No
Maori Party: No
United Future: No
Act:No

It would be very very amusing if Owen Glenn had donated to National as well as Labour.  For now I am assuming he has not as it would be near unheard of to donate $500,000 to one major party and also donate to their main opponent.

Now if Winston is correct that Owen Glenn has not donated (or arranged a donation) to NZ First, then the only other party in Parliament is the Progressive Party.  Has Jim Anderton also been “honoured”?

If it is not the Progressives, and it is not NZ First, well then who is it?  It must then be a party not in Parliament – is Owen Glenn the secret funder of the Libertarianz or the Animals First Party?

I don’t know.  It is just proving very hard to reconcile what Glenn has said (and while you might be confused on many things, it is hard to get wrong a fact such as having donated to more than one party) with the denials received.
