Opinion

One of the three Waihopai spy base attackers has welcomed the prospect of a $1.1 million Crown damages claim, saying the trio have less than $1000 between them.

Otaki school teacher Adrian Leason said even if the Crown won a lawsuit, it would have trouble getting the money.

"If they are going after Father Peter, Sam and myself, our combined personal wealth is probably under $1000.

"Peter's got some loose change, I think I've got $400 in my bank account, and Sam, I think he keeps his money under his mattress and it's only a matter of hundreds."
