No evidence of innapropriate spending by Lees-Galloway

From Checkpoint, 5:21 pm on 10 August 2020

A new report into disgraced former Minister Iain Lees-Galloway's ministerial expenditure has found no evidence of inappropriate spending.

Mr Lees-Galloway was stripped of his ACC, Immigration and Workplace Relations and Safety portfolios last month for having an affair with a former staffer.

The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern commissioned a report to make sure taxpayer funds weren't inappropriately used during the course of his relationship.

That report was released a short time ago. With more on this we are joined by our political reporter Charlie Dreaver.
