Revealed: Phil Twyford granted residency to three convicted criminals, including repeat drink driver

Phil Twyford has granted three convicted criminals residency since December – and documents show they have 10 convictions between them.

Six are for drink driving, one is for dangerous driving, one is for driving while disqualified, one is for unlawfully being in an enclosed yard or area, and one is for producing a false passport.

All but one of the crimes were committed in New Zealand.
