Leave has been sought to appeal the decision in the Serious Fraud Office’s NZ First Foundation prosecution. The Deputy-Solicitor General consented to a leave application being brought and today, Crown Law filed a Notice for Leave to Appeal with the Court of Appeal.
No further comment will be made while the matter is before the Court.
The SFO leading electoral fraud is the the stupidest thing ever.
The biggest problem is not the fraud, but the abuse of our democracy by allowing non transparency of our electoral laws. The biggest cluster fucks of NZ industry do seem to be political donors! It seems to make a difference. Talleys, PRC, OZ polluters all seem to donate to NZ government figures and get huge benefits from it.
The is better suited to the electoral commission and SIS not Serious Fraud.
The amount of serious fraud in NZ seems to be escalating, and people are being ripped off constantly but they are losing battles that are not even about fraud to boot aka NZ First. Electoral fraud should have been handled by another agency!
This is a cluster fuck and why NZ is becoming a nation of crims and fraudsters and easiness of people, foreign governments and corporations paying to undermine our laws and democracy via political donations.
They can’t even organise the right government agency to take the case!
