   3. has been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty in New Zealand or a foreign country;
   4. has been involved in business fraud or financial impropriety; or
   5. has ever been investigated by the Serious Fraud Office or the New Zealand Police for any offences arising in the course of, or resulting from, business dealings; and
2. any relevant feedback received from the Ministry for Primary Industries or Maritime New Zealand, (see WJ2(d)); and
