Time for an OIA

I’m hoping that someone (a fellow Standard author perhaps?) puts in an OIA over the South Canterbury Finance bailout.  And here’s what I’d like them to ask:

– How many cabinet ministers excused themselves from the bailout decision due to a conflict of interest?

– How many ministers and/or their extended families had investments in SCF?  Especially how many invested after the Crown Guarantee extension was made, receiving 8% interest on their investment?

– What was the reasoning behind the decision to pay out the interest, which wasn’t necessary under the terms of the extension?
