Labour Party President Mike Williams said that the discussions Mr Glenn refers to in his evidence did not involve any discussion of a specific donation to Mr Peters.

“My recollection is that my discussions with Mr Glenn concerned the likely outcome of Mr Peters’ electoral petition. Mr Glenn asked me whether I thought Mr Peters had any chance of winning the Tauranga petition and I said that I thought he did.

“I have no recollection of being asked or offering any comment on whether or not Mr Glenn should provide financial assistance to Mr Peters and I certainly did not discuss that possibility with anyone else.”

Mike Williams said that Owen has been a strong and loyal supporter of both Labour and New Zealand.
