Police have completed their investigation into New Zealand First Party donations and found no offence was committed.
ACT leader Rodney Hide lodged a complaint in September alleging that the NZ First return of party donations for 2007 was false and that the secretary for New Zealand First had therefore committed an offence under s214G of the Electoral Act.
"Having assessed a range of information from various sources, and having considered the elements of the offence contained in s214G, police are satisfied that no offence was committed," police said in a statement.
The party return was made to the Electoral Commission on May 16 this year. If a prosecution was to be brought it had to be done before November 16.
The decision follows the Serious Fraud Office finding no case to prosecute.
