National
Party Campaign Manager Doesn't Know If/How Much American
Billionaire Has Donated Today while being
interviewed on TVNZ's Agenda program, Education Minister
Trevor Mallard accused the National Party of hiding their
election donations "through [using] trust funds." When
contacted by Scoop yesterday National Party campaign manager
Steven Joyce explained that National hadn't received "any
large donations" from Julian Robertson. "It is possible that
[Mr Robertson] made an anonymous donation. It is also
possible that he may have given to one of the trusts that
periodically makes donations to us but again I have no
knowledge of that. They don't tell me who gives the money so
I don't know," he said. See... Mallard

Dr Brash Plays Down US Foreign Policy Friendly
Statements - Dr Brash’s insistence this week that
National Party policy is written purely for New Zealanders
is a concerning development for lovers of the global free
market and may spell the end of hopes for a Free Trade Deal
(FTA) with the United States. If Dr Brash isn’t willing to
advocate letting the odd nuclear-powered ship into New
Zealand ports and is unwilling to assist the people of Iraq
in enjoying freedom (those who are still alive), prospects
of NZ dairy produce lining the supermarket shelves of
Vermont look slim. See... A
