Te Pāti Māori complain over ACT's failure to declare use of plane

From Morning Report, 6:47 am on 3 October 2023

How do you value a political donation when it's a plane on loan from a supporter?

That's a question the Electoral Commission is grappling with, following a complaint from Te Pāti Māori that ACT has failed to declare the loan.

In an election year, parties must report donations and loans that have a reasonable market value of more than $20,000.
