Greens Pay It Back
The Green Party has paid back the $87,082 of misspending that they were responsible for in the Auditor-General’s report.
“While we still believe that our spending was inside the rules as they were generally agreed to at the time, we want to start the new year with a clean slate and get on with the much more important work that Parliament should be focussing its attention on,” Ms Fitzsimons says.
It is important to note that the Green Party will not have breached its spending cap under the Electoral Act even if this amount is included in our total election expenditure.
Not everyone can say that, can they. And, as pointed out at Not PC, there’s still $1,054,325 to come, mostly from the ringleaders of the rort.

This is quite likely the most significant protest march you will ever attend - do not miss it. We must show the Government - who have been ignoring the public - exactly what us Kiwis do think on this crucial issue.
Good parents will be criminalised if Bradford’s bill becomes Law.
Make sure that it doesn’t by supporting the march!
There will be marches also in Wellington, Nelson and Fielding. www.politik.co.nz has all the information on these marches, plus news updates, polls to vote in, petition forms and info on how to email the MPs.
