A private investigator who was a former police officer has been linked by the Minister of Police with the allegations against Commissioner Howard Broad.
Annette King says Wayne Idour was the man who showed the pornographic movie at Mr Broad's Dunedin home in 1981.
The incident is one of several allegations made in the latest Investigate magazine, which wants an inquiry into alleged police misbehaviour in Dunedin over almost three decades.
Ms King says Mr Idour is also the private investigator who was hired by the Exclusive Brethren sect to follow Prime Minister Helen Clark and her husband.
She says Mr Idour has been "hawking the story around the media."
In a statement to RadioLIVE, Idour says he categorically denies supplying the movie, and he in fact expressed disgust at the film being shown.

He also contradicts claims only one person was left to watch the film, and does not recall the party being a fundraiser as others have claimed.
The Police Minister also wants to know why the magazine editor making allegations against Dunedin police did not present evidence to the government-appointed inquiry into police conduct.
Investigate magazine is claiming police misconduct dating back to the 80s and alleges crimes such as rape and drug-taking were committed by officers.
Minister Annette King is satisfied the allegations have gone before the Police Complaints Authority, but says editor Ian Wishart could have had them investigated earlier.
