Peters lashes out denying donation 

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has lashed out over fresh claims his party received a campaign donation from billionaire Owen Glenn.
         
Peters has repeatedly denied receiving any money from the transport tycoon.            
  
But his credibility on the issue has been under fire again, with a newspaper report of an email said to contradict his account.
 
In February, Peters held up a sign reading "No" when asked at a press conference if his party had received any money from Glenn or his associates.

Peters was forced on Monday to answer fresh allegations his party got money from Glenn who is Labour's biggest donor. The NZ First leader held a news conference at Auckland Airport on Monday morning.

"No is no. I haven's got the sign here but no is no," he says, referring to the high theatre press conference earlier in the year.
 
The fresh allegations came from The New Zealand Herald on Saturday, saying emails between Genn and his PR man contradicts Peters.

In true Peters style he has bought a fight with the media, lashing out at the Herald's political editor, Audrey Young.

"The editor of the New Zealand Herald and the Herald journalist Audrey Young can see New Zealand First's accounts and talk to our independent auditors. But when they find nothing I want them to both apologise to the public and then resign," Peters says.
 
ONE News has spoken to the Herald. The editor says they're standing by their story and says they don't want to look at New Zealand First's accounts, and believe Peters still has some explaining to do.

Peters had kinder words for Glenn. But he's is in a tricky position. As Foreign Minister, he has a strong say in whether Glenn will be appointed to the consulate position in glamourous Monaco.

ONE News tried to call Glenn at home in Monaco and one of his businesses in America as well as by email, but with no luck.

The Prime Minister is also steering clear of the issue.

"The affairs of New Zealand First are not my business, repeat not my business," Helen Clark says.

But this business still remains unsolved.
