Former NZ MP Paul Eagle resigned after an audit found he falsified records and spent $460K on personal renovations while misusing government funds.
Former New Zealand MP Paul Eagle resigned after an audit revealed he misled an investigation into his spending as Chatham Islands Council chief executive by altering financial records, including adding another’s signature and editing contracts.
The probe found excessive spending—$460,000 on a home renovation, including premium appliances and unauthorized garage work—despite a conflict of interest, as Eagle stood to benefit.
He used a consultancy firm with ties to him and his wife without proper disclosure, leading to $350,000 in payments, including $164,000 from a government fund.
Eagle admitted to panic-driven document changes, apologized, and later paid $10,000 for unpaid training.
The report criticized weak oversight, poor documentation, and inadequate financial controls, urging systemic reforms.
