Press Release: New Zealand Taxpayers' Union
The Taxpayers’ Union is calling on Deputy Prime
Minster Winston Peters to front up and explain newly leaked
details of his involvement in the establishment of the NZ
First Foundation and so called “benefits” to those who
contribute to the NZ First Foundation.
Responding RNZ's newly published details,
Taxpayers’ Union Executive Director Jordan Williams
said:
“Mr Peters' claims that as the leader of the
‘political wing’ of NZ First he was not involved in the
‘administrative matters’ of the Foundation are looking
questionable, at best. The document appears to show that in
fact Mr Peters was right in the middle of the Foundation’s
establishment.”
“But the greater concern for
taxpayers, and democracy, is the leaked documents reference
to ‘benefits’ being attached to the NZ First
Foundation’s tiered donation structure. What does that
mean? What do donors get in return for their support of the
Foundation? A subscription to a newsletter maybe, dinners
with Shane Jones perhaps, or is it something
else?”

Who knew that the delivery of the Covid vaccines was going to be such a headache? All the predictions had been around the likely distribution problems. Would there be enough trained vaccinators around the country, a sufficient number of medical glass vials, a sufficiently robust “cold chain” to safely store the vaccines out in the field? All those issues remain. Currently though, production and delivery concerns are also hovering over whether the drug companies will live up to their contractual commitments, on time... More>>
