DOMINION POST: The National Party is angrily denying accusations that leader John Key has had secret talks with Australian financiers about state-owned assets - and says his accuser, Trevor Mallard, is not believable.
Mr Mallard, Labour's 10th-ranked Cabinet minister, accused Mr Key yesterday of secret talks about plans to sell the assets of State Owned Enterprises and lease them back.
He suggested this was a way for National to get around its promise not to sell any SOEs.
Mr Mallard was behind the "American bagman" allegations that dogged former National leader Don Brash at the last election.
A National Party spokesman said yesterday that Mr Mallard's accusations were "bullshit" and it was "not happening".
He said National was still waiting for Mr Mallard to prove his American bagman accusations.
