Corruption. Legalized theft .
one MP ran up a $30k NZ taxi bill in 1 year . That would easily have bought him a car . I guess he didnt want to drive, so we had to pay.

1400065 2015-05-05 09:53:00 I don't have the data. Ask Parliamentary Services for it, or get your local MP to ask the questions :)

But travel expenses (perks) are just the tip of the iceberg :(
