Matt Nippert has an article in the Herald this morning about 'NZ's links to equator scandal'. It includes the following paragraph -
'Offshore companies and trusts are routinely used for entirely legal purposes, and Mossack Fonseca maintains that it has always complied with international protocols.

I have yet to see any reason for change. -

This morning on Nat Radio I thought I heard someone from 'the panel' (not Mora's) state that they had had input from 'a million' people. Seemed a bit optimistic to me - maybe they earned their dosh after all...

So are we going with Hypnoflag or Monkeybutt?
Someone make a decision - or do we need a panel of worthies to decide?
