Speaking of MIE and it’s interesting array of ‘associates’...

The Hound notes that NZ First leader Winston Peters is unhappy with the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) for declaring no issues with the SFF/Shanghai Maling deal. Your old mate understands silly old Winny lodged his complaint with the FMA at the behest of the MIE-aligned associates who are anti the SFF/Shanghai Maling deal. However, the stunt achieved nothing. Not to be deterred, the old political warhorse is now threatening the very existence of the FMA for daring not to come up with the outcome he wanted. As a mate of the canine crusader opined, perhaps Peters should be now known as the member for North Korea rather than Northland for making veiled threats against organisations that don’t meet his political objectives.
