From William McGregor
Key says his country is a footnote in the Panama Papers … REMEMBER – Key STARTED in the Banking Industry before he rose to power (& position) to create the “Haven” for the RICH to hide their wealth in SECRET hidden Trusts!
He boasted that he never drew a wage while he was Prime Minister; that he DONATED his pay to charity ….
What’s the odds that his wage went to the “J.Key’s Charity Fund”, one of the many HIDDEN Trusts that all rich people have access to?!
THINK! ……
If his wealth was 5 million back in 2008 (when he became Prime Minister), and it was at 55 million when he bailed out of Politics in 2016, and he wasn’t drawing a wage – WHERE THE HELL DID THE DOLLARS COME FROM?!
And he is taking over the reigns to the A.N.Z. Bank next year.
May you receive your “just reward” J.Key; you’ll NEVER be a “Knight” in my eyes ….
While your “thumb’s up”, hitch a ride out of Aotearoa; you’re no Kiwi!

Panama Papers: New Zealand identified as pivotal in world’s rich hiding their money
Posted
New Zealand is at the heart of a tangled web of shelf companies and trusts that are being used by wealthy individuals to channel funds around the world, according to a report based on leaks of the so-called Panama Papers.
A joint report by Radio New Zealand, TVNZ and investigative journalist Nicky Hager analysed more than 61,000 documents relating to NZ, part of the massive leak of offshore data from Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm.
The papers have shone spotlight on how the world’s rich take advantage of offshore tax regimes.
Mossack Fonseca ramped up its interest in using NZ as one of its new jurisdictions in 2013 by actively promoting it as a good place to do business due to its tax-free status, high levels of confidentiality and legal security.
The company’s main contact in NZ was allegedly Robert Thompson, co-founder and director of accountant firm Bentleys New Zealand, the registered office of Mossack Fonseca New Zealand, according to the report.
