According to the New York Times, companies in 60 countries involved in the oil-for-food scandal are to be named tomorrow New Zealand time. There were 4,500 companies involved in the program, which is fine, but over half paid illegal kick-backs to Saddam Hussein's government.

It will be interesting to watch the local angle on this. Fonterra was involved in the program, according to this Aljazeera report, and maybe some others. No doubt a bunch of Australian companies were involved too.

Update: The report is here. No sign of Kiwis on a very quick review of a very long document. However, the Australian Wheat Board gets a savaging.
