On PEDA, Simon Collins reports that JR Pereira denies National Party connections, and that there was an earlier proposal than the small one that has been cited.
JR Pereira said yesterday that the proposed "Pacific skilled employment programme", which stands to get the $4 million, dates back to a 43-page proposal developed by Mr Saitala in 2007.
...
Mr Pereira said the proposal was presented to the Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs in late 2007, when he still worked at the ministry as a regional adviser for economic development.
He said he and others talked to Mr English about it in Auckland early last year and again this year. He also discussed it with Mrs te Heuheu this year.
But, he said, he was not and never had been a member of the National Party, and voted Labour in 2002 and 2005.

Or they could automate the uniform and boots with impact sensors and a visible infringement alarm - kind of like laser strike. If they were serious about it. Or Blatter believed in anything more modern than a horse-drawn buggy.

Just becomes a search for truths plural - but that's not the distorting factor, it's corporatist politics
