Police would not confirm the nature of the charges but said items had been removed from the minister's Auckland residence. Oh my God. The prime minister's office has so far declined to comment. Alan Griever has been a member of Parliament for 11 years, and there has been shocked reactions from his electorate. Good Lord. There's a turn-up. Like I said ` productive. Was that`?

It's all over social media about Griever. I bet your Greenie comrades are thrilled. The consensus is kiddie porn. It's likely. And to link it to his parliamentary account. It was you, wasn't it? I am a monster. But if it was me, it'd be to protect Kennedy from the trauma of court, while making sure Griever paid. It's effective. But I did get the casino development over the line first. What?
