Brash Expresses Appreciation for Police Efforts

Brash Expresses Appreciation for Police Efforts



Nearly a year after he expressed disquiet over the way the Police had handled their investigation into the emails stolen from his office in Parliament, Don Brash has thanked the Police for the way they have handled their new investigation.

“The original Police investigation of the breach of security around my Parliamentary office lacked urgency, and gave every appearance of being treated as a matter of no consequence.

“Following my formal complaint to the Independent Police Conduct Authority in the middle of last year, the Police launched a thorough investigation, interviewing all the obvious potential suspects, some for the first time. Even though their inquiries have failed to identify the source of the leak, I certainly appreciate the effort they have put into this second investigation.

“At this stage, it appears unlikely that the person who stole emails from my office will ever be identified and I greatly regret that. However, I have moved on to new challenges and, though the report from the IPCA is still to come, I am willing to accept that there is nothing more that the Police can do,” Dr Brash said.
