Another amazing coincidence!

Returns of political party loans and donations are out today, and they expose another amazing coincidence in the National Party's donations. In 2015, the party received $15,800 in donations from Christine Che. By utter coincidence, Mrs Che was awarded a QSM "for services to the Chinese community" (a newsletter from the Auckland Justices of the Peace Association makes it clear that this is indeed the same person).

What an amazing coincidence! In fact, its amazing just how often this happens! But I'm sure that, like the PM's personal lawyer lobbying and getting policy changes, we shouldn't read too much into it.
