Comment on investigation into
tweet error
Labour Leader David Cunliffe was today warned by Police over a mistaken tweet he posted on the day of the Christchurch East byelection.
“It was an inadvertent mistake which I regret. I took steps to rectify the error by immediately deleting the tweet and Labour also notified the Returning Officer as soon as possible,” David Cunliffe says.
“I have taken the warning on board and will not repeat the error.
“I would like to acknowledge my mistake by doing something to help the people of Christchurch. I intend to make a $1000 donation to the Stepping Stone Foundation which provides counselling services to earthquake-affected children.
“I will not be making any further comment on this matter,” David Cunliffe says.
