Statement to media by Brownyn Pullar, March 30, 2012
Media have speculated about the reason why John Key and other senior National Party figures were mentioned by my insurer in a letter to Michelle Boag written by one of their senior executives.
One of my advisors has asked me to prepare a list of known people were were aware of my dispute with the insurer and who the insurer may encounter in the course of their business. This was in the context of us entering into negotiations to reach a confidential settlement. Provision of this list was necessary in case the insurer subsequently faced questions from these parties who had knowledge of the dispute.
The dispute between the parties was subsequently resolved to the satisfaction of both parties. The detail of the arrangement reached between the parties was subject to a confidentiality agreement.
I only recall one conversation with John Key where I made him aware of my situation. It as at a National Party Christmas function in Auckland when he was the MP for Hellensville. I was very distressed at the time and took the opportunity to vent my frustrations. He listened politely, but I did not ask him to do anything and he did not offer to assist.
