New Zealand First leader Winston Peters says Prime Minister John Key is lying about two key points in the Kim Dotcom affair: whether he discussed the accused pirate during a dinner with Warner Brothers executives in Los Angeles, and whether he knew about the GCSB's illegal surveillance before September 17.
"The prime minister pretends not to have known this person [Kim Dotcom], excepting he – a full seven months after Kim Dotcom got his residency and was starting in to his business – stopped off deliberately in LA for a dinner with the senior executives of Warner Brothers, an interest which, like others in Hollywood, we’re standing to lose hundreds of millions and possibly billions of dollars. Don’t tell me they never raised Kim Dotcom and the threat to them at those meetings. It’s incredible to believe," Mr Peters said on TV ONE's Q+A programme yesterday.
