Scoop has an Ethical Paywall

Owen Glenn statement
“It is unfortunate that some comments I made to a journalist last week have been taken out of context and are now being used as a political football.
The facts are these.
I have not made any donation to the Labour Party since the 2005 election. Following the election I provided a loan to assist the party to look into professional fund raising between elections. It was a loan, not a donation, and has since been repaid.
I was not offered a cabinet position. My comments on this matter were light hearted and have been taken out of context.
I will not be commenting further on this issue.”
