It's well and truly on. Former National MP Jami-Lee Ross has been the Pied Piper to the media on his trip to a Police station in Wellington. He's laid a complaint against National Party leader Simon Bridges about a $100k political donation. He's also publicising an audio recording which he claims proves Mr Bridges was asking him to commit fraud. Journalist Richard Harman delivers his verdict on the damage this is causing the National Party. The Salvation Army has developed a schme which it says will help 50, 000 people to buy their own homes. KiwiBuy would see th government contribute $1bn annually. The Salvation Army's Alan Johnson says it's a bold plan but it's needed by many to give them hope of owning a house.
