Maori Party stands by candidate, blames 'smear campaign' on ex-mayor's mistress
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11919033
Maori Party president Tukoroirangi Morgan says allegations against candidate Wetex Kang amount to a smear campaign and he has nothing to answer for.
The Herald revealed this morning the Electoral Commission was investigating Kang's campaign for allegedly offering online cash credits on Chinese social media app WeChat.
"It's a smear campaign on the Maori Party. [A] baseless attack on the party, and on a candidate that has a real chance of taking Botany," Morgan said during a media conference this afternoon.
"I've gone through every post, I've been fully briefed and I'm very confident that our candidate will stand up to the rigorous investigation carried out by the Electoral Commission."
Morgan confirmed the offers of credits were sent out by Louis Pan, a party volunteer, and had been sent out to 351 users on WeChat.
He believed the complaint was an act of "revenge" by Bevan Chuang - the former mistress of ex-Auckland Mayor Len Brown - after Kang had turned down a $10,000 offer by her to run his campaign.
The commission said it had received more than one complaint alleging Kang's campaign offered "hong bao dollars" or online money envelopes on WeChat.
When contacted by the Herald, Chuang admitted to being one of the complainants.
However, Chuang claimed it was she who rejected Kang's "cash offer" to be part of his campaign rather than the other way around.
"They [Kang's campaign] were sending out red packets on WeChat, and my complaint was just to question whether that is legally acceptable," she said.

Electoral Commission investigates Maori Party candidate's campaign
A Maori Party candidate's campaign is under investigation for allegedly offering online cash credits.
The party's first Asian candidate, Wetex Kang, is at the centre of the controversy, which alleges his campaign sent messages on Chinese social media message app WeChat offering virtual credits to potential supporters.
Kang was announced by the party last month as its candidate for Botany.
He is now being investigated by the Electoral Commission after it was alleged his campaign offered 'hong bao dollars', or online money envelopes on WeChat. The messages sent to individual app users offered the red envelopes using a Chinese phrase which translates to "for support of the car parade" - or victory parade.
Hong bao is a Chinese tradiiton of gifting money in a red envelope, usually on special occasions. It was adopted for the digital age when WeChat introduced the ability to distribute virtual red envelopes of money to contacts and groups via its mobile payment platform for 2014 Chinese New Year.
The feature has become massively popular among users, and it is estimated 100 billion digital red envelopes were sent over Chinese New Year 2017.
Screenshots show Wetex's campaign manager messaging people on WeChat using the red envelope symbol.
The Electoral Commission confirmed to the Herald it is investigating a complaint in relation to messages posted on WeChat.
"The Electoral Commission has received complaints about the use of 'hong bao dollars' on WeChat as part of Maori Party candidate Wetex Kang's campaign," a commission spokeswoman said.
"The Commission is looking further into the complaints, and has sought further information from Mr Kang."
