Auditor-General Calls Clark’s Bluff
A story in today’s NZ Herald (MPs Knew Rules on Spending Says Watchdog) has Auditor-General Kevin Brady calling Clark’s bluff.
He says the rules were explained last year, well prior to the election, contra to Labour’s claim that the rules are being changed after the event.
He says that his report only covers expenditure in the three months prior to the last election, contra to Labour’s claim that it covers $350 million in spending back into prehistoric times and Ending The World As We Know It.
So, Labour, you are guilty as sin, you knew about it before the fact, your excuse for retrospective legislation has disappeared so lets just get on with the confession and the apology shall we?

[…] And this is not the first time that Helen Clark has talked crap about the Auditor-General that he’s had to correct. […]
