More details have been laid bare of the controversial Provincial Growth Fund application by Future Forestry Products.
The Minister who oversees the fund, NZ First MP Shane Jones, is pleading ignorance after the company, which has strong NZ First ties, was referenced in material he had months before he declared his conflict of interest.
The company's founding director, Brian Henry, is Winston Peters' lawyer and a New Zealand First judicial officer.
RNZ political reporter Charlie Dreaver has the story.
