Putting up

This morning, Winston Peters challenged the Serious Fraud Office to "put up or shut up" on the question of his donations. Now, it looks like they've gone for the former option.

At this stage, now that he is the subject of a serious criminal investigation, I can't see how Helen Clark can possibly avoid suspending him. The question is whether he will accept it, or try and topple the government in retaliation.
