This makes my blood boil...

Playing by the rules doesn't mean shit if you're making your own fucking rules.

Cunts should be strung up for the crows.

**popa griffin** · 1st August 2009, 11:13

Crows could probly do a better job of running the country aswell.

**Mully** · 1st August 2009, 11:13

Agreed.

National is defending the payments as within the rules

Time to change the rules then.

**Fatt Max** · 1st August 2009, 11:45

Un fucking believeable, eh......

Telling us to economise then taking our money to fund his housing bill.

Remember, the tax man TAKES YOUR MONEY, we have no choice...then gives it to these guys.

Wrong wrong and wrong....bastards

Riding the "Gravy Train"......Snouts in the trough...
Bastards...Get em up against the wall....

only $1000 how do they manage

And don't forget the millions spent on air travel for retired washed up pollies.
No wonder they bailed out their own private airline to the tune of $800 million just a few years back. Couldn't have Air New Zealand going down the tubes because that would be the end of one of their major perks.

Yep, Politicians are always at the front of the queue.

Jenny Shipley has a heart attack ? No prob. Bypass booked for next week. Whiloe ordinary kiwis wait and die.

NZ Superann not enough for you ? Try being an M.P. Massive perks for life.

We would be well served with a law change that said...

Politicians are moved to the back of the line.. heart attack ? wait in an orderly fashion please. Superann ? Join the line at WINZ.

If our pollies cant afford to pay their own travel and accommodation expenses on their fat salaries then they need budgeting advice.

**slofox** · 1st August 2009, 12:29

Hmmmm...wonder if they'd pay me $1000 a week to stay in my own house? Would be half the cost of putting me up in jail...

**eelracing** · 1st August 2009, 12:33

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You can see them out for dinner
With there piggy wives
Clutching there forks and knives to eat there bacon.

**boman** · 1st August 2009, 13:37

The trouble is they can just go and vote themselves a payrise or any thing, without us knowing about it untill it is done. We couldn't get a rule change because they would never let us.

Yup, you have to wonder. Poor chap is only on $276,000 a year too!

If he had any balls, he'd resign over this. I'm not holding my breath though. Just like I'd be amazed if those people who were crapping all over that woman we pay $700 a week to look after her three kids now come out and condemn Billy for sucking a grand a week out of the public tit for fuck all.

He's not the only one. Politicians (from all parties) have been feathering their own nests at the taxpayer's expense since the dawn of politicians.
