Check your facts Jim: the Greens supported Kiwibank
Jim Anderton's ungracious attack on the Greens over Kiwibank shows he has a short memory, Green Party Co-Leader Rod Donald says.
"I'd like to remind Jim that, while a network of community-based banks was the Green Party's first preference, we did support the establishment of Kiwibank," Mr Donald said. "In fact, without our votes, it simply wouldn't have happened."
