Who are the NZSIS running interference for here really, after the Nats $150,000 Chinese donation reveal?
It looks like they are supporting the National Party by smearing unidentified others, and claiming “across the spectrum” of local and central government these types of donations are concerning to the state security agencies.
Various District Councils develop “Sister City” relationships with all sorts of countries and China in particular. Ms Kitteridge is coy in naming anyone else, or any other Parliamentary Political Party, in receipt of foreign donations, but happy to infer to muddy the waters.

National know only ‘dirty politics’ can bring them victory.
So they are unworthy of governing over our people.
You have to wonder what happened to the geotechnical after seeing this, or is this the full story????
Slumping bridge foundations on new Christchurch motorway to cost ‘millions’ to repair

Time to look at how viable it is to have so many high rise apartments in an earthquake zone, likewise with climate change and rising sea levels. With so many insurance companies going under, not the time for the government to spend tax dollars in this area!
There needs to be a lot more thought on cheaper and quicker building techniques in the future for disaster ridden zones or better planning in building for disasters.
Judging by the link above with the slumping bridge, before it is even built, then a lot more vigour needs to be bought into construction in NZ!

Audrey Young: The best and worst of National Party’s first fifteen MPs
By: Audrey Young
Audrey Young is political editor for the New Zealand Herald
National leader Simon Bridges has a First XV of varied ability, some of whom are stars, some of whom have once been stars and some of whom need to lift their game.
Unlike All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen, it is a harder for Bridges to demote out-of-form MPs without risking revolt.

I can think of better things too spend my money on than right wing opinion on the total waste of space that is the National party.
There are many things to talk about — witness American media, or divide and rule. Only climate change and demo-cracy matter. Or, at this moment, everything in the fist of spending more, and for our country, for the poorest, weakest and sickest, along with climate adaption. The Labour finance minister is to the right of the Reserve Bank Governor! Punch and punch and punch, even intelligent if you like. Forget about everything else.
I wonder anything is achieved. Even with the masses to the Right who agree! I’d like to see rabid fury in our jaws but even youse commentators spread your forces.
General strike. The leaders are dead (youse). We yoghurt around this vital moment.
