Corrupt government

The supposedly apolitical and independent head of the Law Commission recently deposited an openly public 'personal' $11K donation into the Labour Party coffers.

This action has caused serious allegations to be made re the continued impartiality of the head of the commission. It also seems that the same office has often been asked by the current government (read PM) to report on their views re new legislative proposals and like a good Boy Scout, the office always seems to have the required report ready for distribution at short notice.

Now some would ask how is this so, when under previous governments, reports are typically slow to surface and the head does not lightly make public announcements as this one does. It has been suggested that this office is nothing but a front for a ninth floor extension, noting that Mr Palmer was previously a high ranking Labour minister.

Various persons are calling for his immediate resignation. As expected, the PM has reacted vocally, defending the Labour Party supporter,

"Sir Geoffrey is the most honest, transparent individual you could ever come across," Miss Clark said.
That may be so, but the only problem is that from this side of the fence, Sir Geoffery is dealing with the most secretive, dishonest and corrupt government that has ever held power in NZ.

Once again the Deputy PM has been very vocal on the subject, trying to shift the light onto donations made through trusts to various parties. No mention of the donations made by unions though!

It always shocks me when democratic, stable economic powers of the world are exposed so blatantly in corrupt dealings. I expect it from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Venezuela... New Zealand, i would have never guessed... but then again, when you stand government shoulder to shoulder the lines between the Robert Mugabe´s and the John Howard´s seems to blur.
