1400069	2015-05-05 10:08:00	I'm not worried about it. I used to work there and I know what happened. I just don't like being called a liar.	Zippity (58)
1400070	2015-05-05 10:18:00	I'm not worried about it. I used to work there and I know what happened. I just don't like being called a liar. I didn't use that word, or imply it. I said 'unsubstantiated claims', there is a difference. If you cant back up your claims with documentation, then not much weight can be given to them. It's up to you..... Goodnight	Terry Porritt (14)

The whole idea of becoming a politician seems that one can save or invest one's salary and live comfortably on expenses. The published article only covers travel , one of a multiplicity of expenses paid from the gravy train. Its very difficult for any group of ordinary taxpaying citizens to make changes to a closed shop corrupt system.	blanco (11336)
1400075	2015-05-05 22:34:00	Unsubstantiated my arse....... Yep , it not hard to find unless you are a blinkered labor party supporter & refuse to look. Took me less than 2 minutes :-) Labor are just as bad at least. www.stuff.co.nz the article is from 2010, I bet nothing has changed quoteth... " Labour MP Marian Hobbs and Alliance MP Phillida Bunkle resigned from their ministerial positions at the end of February 2001 after investigations into their enrolment on the Wellington Central electoral roll, while claiming out-of-town ministerial accommodation allowances at the same time " " Labour was forced to repay more than $800,000 after the Auditor-General said they used the money unlawfully on electioneering material, including Helen Clark's pledge card. " " Three Labour MPs were (.......) demoted when five years' worth of credit card transactions showed they had been loose with the rules. " Chris Carter: Was repeatedly warned about inappropriate use of his credit card and last week reimbursed personal expenditure including spa treatments, massages and flowers. Other spending that raised eyebrows included $639 on a dinner in London for himself, his partner, former Labour MP and high commissioner to Britain Jonathan Hunt and British Labour peer Lord Smith (formerly Chris Smith). Shane Jones: Reimbursed about $6450 in personal spending on movies, drinks, wine, CDs confectionery, magazines, clothes and up to 50 pornographic movies in hotels. Phil Heatley: Refunded $1260 for a family holiday in the South Island that he paid for with his credit card. Got into hot water over signing a declaration for $70 worth of wine and food for his wife and himself that was, in fact, two bottles of wine for his table at a National Party function. Judith Tizard: More than $200 on wine including a $155 bottle of Bollinger at a dinner at Cin Cin on Quay in Auckland. Tim Groser: A $466 minibar bill, as well as a $1000 jacket and $439 walking boots to replace a staffer's lost luggage. Also spent $223 for a dinner with two ''key'' contacts though it later turned out one never turned up. A bill for $367.52 for dinner with former National MP and OECD official Simon Upton in Washington. Spent $247.50 for dinner at the Matterhorn with a Dominion Post reporter and a Conservation Department staffer. Mita Ririnui: Treated himself to a $899 bike and $682 for golf clubs. He repaid both bills. He also refunded $283 on personal expenditure including a golf umbrella and $166 on duty-free. Murray McCully: Spent $509 on alcohol during two days in Tokyo last year. Phil Goff: Contributed $522 towards an $800-plus meal at London's Carluccio's Italian restaurant for nine guests including his wife Mary and Jonathan Hunt. The balance, including eight bottles of wine, was paid for privately. Nanaia Mahuta: Incurred $458 worth of charges at the James Cook Hotel on her card and later repaid the money. Also, $273 was spent retrieving her self-drive ministerial car from a Wellington parking lot. Parekura Horomia: $370.50 on a restaurant meal for electorate staff which he is reportedly planning to pay back. Gerry Brownlee: Spent $152.90 on a lunch with his electorate staff and repaid it when the spending was disclosed with the release of National's credit card receipts in February. Clayton Cosgrove: Bought a $1569 suit when his luggage was lost in Canada in 2008 and spent $712 on a taxi-limo. He also lost his luggage in 2007 and spent $709 on replacements. Insurance covered the losses both times. Jim Anderton: Spent $22,000 on a trip to Europe including a $1012 bill at a Vienna pizza restaurant and $2100 on room charges in Frankfurt. Damien O'Connor: A $358.70 taxi ride to Wellington when his flight was diverted to Palmerston North. John Carter: Charged a $550 meal to his credit card including pigs head entrees, carpaccio beer, smoked eel, fish, lamb, wine and desserts and later reimbursed the amount.	1101 (13337)

That is what the discussion was about, not about the general run of MPs of both parties having excessive expenses, though that could be the subject of a separate topic.	Terry Porritt (14)
