Fast-Track Projects Linked to Donations
from Wellington News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Twenty-three fast-tracked projects since 2024 link to donors tied to National and NZ First, with over a million dollars funneled to those parties since 2022—nearly 90% of all donations from project-linked entities. In 2025 alone, $400K flowed to the coalition parties, while Labour received just $8K. Experts warn this pattern erodes public trust, as private interests gain preferential treatment and donations may subtly sway decisions—even if conflicts are technically managed. The real issue? Perception matters more than process when it comes to government integrity. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
