New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is teasing a tell-all on the secretive New Zealand First Foundation on his Facebook page on Wednesday night to set the record straight on what he says are "the latest hysterics''.

RNZ has revealed the NZ First Foundation has been receiving tens of thousands of dollars from donors in the industry in payments, which fall just below the $15,000-dollar threshold, at which point party donations are usually made public.

That same foundation is facing the spotlight of the Serious Fraud Office after the Electoral Commission referred its inquires to the police, who promptly passed it on.

RNZ political reporter, Jo Moir has the story.
