The Hound suggests that something very fishy has been going on at the Hawkes Bay branch of 'Bitch & Complain' (Fish & Game) that warrants deeper investigation.

According to the minutes of HB F&G's September monthly meeting, there is much disquiet in the organisation about the actions of its former manager, who recently 'left'. The minutes read, "There have been issues with the previous management who wiped all the computers and did not give us access to these...." A mate of your canine crusader reckons it would be interesting to see if the former manager's computer wiping had anything to do with covering up possible links between F&G and certain regional councillors, political operatives, Transparent Hawkes Bay and a certain blogger.
