Janice Rodenburg reports on government moves to take the tax fraud allegation seriously. Wyatt Creech says the government will investigate the tabled documents (the wine box documents), and the High Commissioner in the Cook Islands, Darryl Dunn, has formally raised the issue there. Includes i/vs with Creech and Peters. Then, Peter Fowler reports on the response to the allegation that the Serious Fraud Office, and more specifically Charles Sturt, have turned a blind eye to the alleged fraud. Later, Winston Peters is interviewed and states that he isn't satisfied with the way the investigations are progressing.
