"Links between former prime minister Dame Jenny Shipley and businessman Sammy Wong are under scrutiny as his wife, former ethnic affairs minister Patsy Wong, remains under a cloud. Labour yesterday questioned why a company in which Mr Wong and Dame Jenny are shareholders was registered at the same address as Mrs Wong's publically funded electorate office in Auckland. Dame Jenny's husband, Burton, was a director of the firm, Shipley and Wong, labour strategist Pete Hodgson said. Speaker Lockwood Smith refused to comment. Prime Minister John Key also refused to comment and said he would advise Mrs Wong not to answer questions." Fairfax
Don't know about you, but I can smell something vile.

Kia ora Robert,
Not a surprise really. A small country and once a person gets into the old boys', and now girls clubs of power and money we seem to see the same names over and over again.
Cheers,
Robb
Shipley's name comes up more often than one might expect Robb. She's closely involved with the Ecan incident, the irrigation plans for Canterbury and the development of milk processing plants in that region.
She's well embedded in the 'Key Way'.
