For those of you who don't read or watch the news...
Our New Zealand Minister of foreign affairs, Winston peters, is currently under investigation by the police and has stepped down from his position. According to NZ law, any gifts made to the MPs of more than NZ$500 cannot be accepted or have to be declared. As you can guess, our minister did not declared a series of donations made to him, one of which was NZ$150,000 from Owen Glenn, the millionnair. Winston peters denies the knowledge of this donation but Owen Glenn states that Winston peters himself has requested for the money... so who's telling the truth?
Duh.... of course he knew about the money and a large portion probably went into his pocket.. and the Owen Glenn donation is not the only donation that was not declared. But who knows.. There'll probably be another cover up for him and he'll be let go easily..
You guys must be wandering, why politics all of the sudden.. since I'm living in NZ, have to at least know what's going on in this country. AND it's on the news every single day!! so its pretty hard not to notice it. But if it was the old me in Dunedin, I wouldn't even know about it until it's all over. Hmm...improvement....
P/s: sorry for being slack in updating my blog...
