Well, I'm not sure that what you say is correct and I'm no ex-supporter Nats for context, btw.

However, while some were anonymous, notice that the letters have official date stamps on them which means that they were received by an office and registered.

This is in my mind, completely different to the stealing of public monies that taxpayers pay to the government in trust to be spent on the betterment of the lives of their citizens.

This money was given not taken away, and that's a big difference. So why this - a few hundred thousand in donations,  should cause greater outrage than the billions that have passed through the hands of the Guptas is beyond me. The only exception to that is the Altech letter where there is clear exchange in terms of favours.

But as many have said, all parties get funding from business. Not just the west, not just capitalists, but in all forms of society - it's how politics works, sadly. And where is FW with a personal finger in the pie? I missed that.
