Following the revelation's that respected

a currently legally suppressed book detailing the ins and
outs of National under the leadership of Dr Don Brash –
the National Leader kindly agreed to take a few questions
from the media.
Question: Do you know in 2005
when you first met the Brethren? When they first became
interested in helping the National Party in the campaign, so
look at when the election was and try to remember when your
first meeting was, or a phone call, or an email. Do you
remember? Dr Brash: No I don't. I don't think I
have ever had an email from the Exclusive Brethren.
