Don Brash MP National Party Leader
Clark says Audit Office, Solicitor-General wrong
Helen Clark continues to be in denial about her office spending $446,000 improperly on her election pledge card and
brochure, says National Leader Don Brash.
"Helen Clark has today accused the Auditor-General and Solicitor-General of 'changing the rules after the event' on
spending of parliamentary money by political parties.
"Well, I hate to tell the Prime Minister, but the police found a prima facie case that her office, in authorising the
spending, broke the law by going over the limit. Now, it appears the Auditor-General will find Labour acted unlawfully.
"I don't know what else will convince Helen Clark that she is in the wrong.
"Labour bought the last election, and she knows it. I again call on her to give the taxpayer a break, and pay the money
back from party funds."
