What a load of sanctimonious rubbish.
You pay taxes out of compassion ?

A classic from Seymour that obviously got a big rant back from Winnie:
@dbseymour
Winston Peters’ swansong promise to slash immigration is tragic. Peters himself will soon be retired and will require a care worker to help him get dressed and go for a walk. He’ll discover that such facilities can’t function without migrant workers.

$1 million for one person. Some people have too much money to waste. :\

Peters will need to keep working for a while yet to pay back that $320K he owes the crown from his failed Trump-esque lawsuit. Litigate first, think later!

He doesn't though. He's eligible for appeal which may well succeed.

Right now he does, and based upon the facts presented (or perhaps lake of them), I don't like his chances. This time he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

The facts of the case obviously, or rather show we say the lack there-of from Winston.

Related to the super issue, and a good article:

Opinion: Winston Peters' $320k court bill shows legal access is only for the rich
Lawyer Graeme Edgeler says the Peters superannuation leak case shows just how broken the litigation system is, leading to a less democratic society.

We need a crack legal team to investigate the Act donation arrangements.
