New Zealand Parliament Criticized Over Hine Charges Scandals
The Legislative Council faced sharp criticism for its handling of Hine charges against Thomas Kennedy Macdonald who admitted the facts but escaped censure. The piece contrasts with Henare Kaihan's more decisive, yet still tepid, reprimand and calls for reform and a political crusade to root out private profit from public duty. It also notes sailing news, estate probate, a rain-making gun-cotton test, and local civic developments.
