Greens disappointed at mischief-making

The Green Party says National Party blogger David Farrar is mischief-making over his attempts to link the Greens to the cocktail party recordings.

"While it is true that the man who admits to having made the recordings is related to a Green Party staff member, no one in the office, including the taper's relative, was aware of his plans to make the tape recordings," Co-Leaders Jeanette Fitzsimons and Russel Norman say.

"Neither Russel or myself were even aware of the taper's identity till yesterday when he was named on another blog," Ms Fitzsimons says.

"We have checked, and he has never been a Green Party member.

"The Green Party believes in transparency and honesty we do not condone the secret taping of private conversations.
