1369675 2014-03-07 06:59:00 The Taxpayers of NZ employ 121 Politicians and this is how many turn up for work.

5603

I wonder how private enterprise would get on run along the same lines. :rolleyes:

1369676 2014-03-07 07:15:00 I have given up totally with bunch of useless politicians. bk T (215)
1369677 2014-03-07 08:17:00 Maybe the ones there never got the memo - postponed till tomorrow, same time same place :p wainuitech (129)
1369678 2014-03-07 08:23:00 One politician seated for every EQC claim settled maybe? plod (107)
1369679 2014-03-07 08:51:00 With those sods, less is definitely better. Even one is too many, unless a noose is involved. ;) R2x1 (4628)

1369681 2014-03-07 18:31:00 If every one of the 121 put in their 2c worth, it still would not be worth 2c in total.
PS: "Working" and "Fixing" are wildly inappropriate in any comment about the Cake Tin Denizens. ;)

1369682 2014-03-07 19:05:00 They need "time out" to work out their expense claims. blanco (11336)
1369683 2014-03-08 03:07:00 Blame it on mmp, far too many teams in that place, for a country the size of NZ.

As blanco says, an awful lot of time would be taken up in filling out expense, etc. forms.

Lurking.

1369684 2014-03-08 04:11:00 Well I don’t think we can blame MMP for nobody turning up, although I do agree MMP in its present form is a disaster. We must remember though that the only reason we have MMP is because First Past the Post was an equal disaster.

Anyway, as far as the photo goes, it looks to me like if we take out the Speaker, Sergeant at Arms, the doormen and the Hanzard Recorders we have about 6 Labour Party back benchers being punished by Brownlee’s ravings, plus 1 National Back Bencher and god forbid Russel Norman . In other words, 95% absent on full pay!

And they’re selling “our” assets to pay “their” wages. grrrrr!
