An interesting TV3 60 Minutes segment on Monday 20 October 2008 is the story of Owen Glenn, and some more input on donations to New Zealand First and the Labour Party and his regret at doing so.
Reporter Karen McCarthy meets the man who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to New Zealand political parties, and then regretted every cent.
This is Owen Glenn as you have never seen him before. He is having fun handing out his money, sunning himself on an exclusive Fijian Island with his gorgeous entourage and talking about his life.
Why does he want to donate so much of his wealth? How rich is he anyway? What kind of happiness does extreme money bring? And is he as lonely as he sometimes looks?

A timely reminder of how low the present caretaker Government, the Labour Party are, and just one of the scandals they have been involved in this year, the latest one being the donation for passport saga.
