"It should not need to be said that John Key was completely innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever," Mr Sturt said.
"For any politician to hint or suggest otherwise would be absolute rubbish and pure mischief-making." Chas Sturt, former Serious Fraud Office director

Little did we know it would be so soon, so irrelevant, so insubstantial and dug up by chief mud flinger Mike Williams, Labour Party President.
The accusation dates back more than 20 years, is being made by Labour and fed to the New Zealand Herald by party hacks.
John Key faces accusations of misleading the public about his knowledge of one of New Zealand's most notorious white collar crimes.
The allegations centre around the so-called H-Fee - two payments totalling A$66.5 million to Equiticorp funnelled via sham foreign exchange transactions in 1988 - and an interview Mr Key gave the Herald last year. More
Unfortunately for Labour a serious fraud investigation cleared any involvement by John Key and his reputation is clear. From Charles Sturt:
The former Serious Fraud Office (SFO) director, Charles Sturt, said on August 25, 2007, that Mr Key was not involved in the H-Fee scam.
The SFO interviewed Mr Key about it, and Mr Sturt said he was one of many innocent people in a massive fact-gathering exercise.
"It should not need to be said that John Key was completely innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever," Mr Sturt said.
"For any politician to hint or suggest otherwise would be absolute rubbish and pure mischief-making." More
He refutes completely about any involvement in a foreign exchange scam here.
Unfortunately for Key mud does stick and the filthy way Labour are running their election campaign must mean they have done some inside polling of their own and have found they are on a hiding to nothing come election day.
This Key nonsense is nothing but a media beat up and stories with way more importance and gravitas have been so far buried. Recent revelations uncovered by Ian Wishart that Labour have been involved in donations to their party from a Chinese underworld figure, in exchange for passports, Clark's involvement in the Owen Glenn saga and her blatant, irrelevant, use of the race card twice last week have largely been swept under the rug by our left loving media.
If that is the best Clark has she and her cabal are going to have to dig even deeper and they probably will.
Unfortunately for Labour though, this sort of filthy baseless mud-slinging may well come back to bite them on election day.
