Hon MARK MITCHELL: So the reality of it is the select committee was presented with an opportunity to hear from submissions from the most recent member present of the New Zealand First Party, who had resigned his position because he was—and he publicly said this—very concerned at the way donations were held and dealt with inside the party. It was a natural process and course that the select committee, tasked by this Parliament to review the way donations were held—and I'd remind the Minister that Labour gave up their slot to have Jami-Lee Ross come and sit on the committee. So I'd remind them of that. I don't know how that's working out for them at the moment. We felt that it was very important that we heard from them; that we understood. There is no good reason—and I'll ask one of the Government members to stand and explain to us very carefully, lay it out, why they would not agree to hearing evidence from those people who had left high political office and had signalled that there was a massive issue and breach in terms of the way donations were being held.
