    Thief: a person who steals another person's property.
    Steal: take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.

    It's legal. Shut the fuck up you whiney moron and blame yourself for not earning enough, eh, dude.

    Oh, and you get plenty of things to write shit off against that many others who pay tax don't. Maybe spend a few more $ on a better accountant whilst yer at it.

    Dover Samuels really shouldn't be in the list since he was cleared, although at the time it did count as a scandal. Helen just dropped him like a hot spud.

    At the same time as the Samuels debacle there was news of another MP with a 'history' but he got a pass, he's still there and I don't have a problem with that.

    One of those in husaberg's list was done for misusing an offical credit card. I do seem to recall a 'scandal" about another member using his offical credit card to buy porno movies. He may be more careful now?

    I added it as there was a few in the national list that were scandals. also you could say the same about labours Gerald Obrien. Missing from the nats and act list is of course John banks and Chrusher and Bridges
    Banks has had so many scandals its not even funny, but at last count he had had all convictions overturned.

    Police yesterday released files from their investigation into two $25,000 donations from German multi-millionaire Kim Dotcom and a $15,000 donation from SkyCity towards his 2010 Auckland mayoralty campaign, which were all registered as anonymous.
    Statements from Dotcom show the now leader of the ACT Party told him: "I want to help you Kim and I can help you more effectively if no-one knows about this donation."
    n 1993, Mr Prebble accused him of interfering in a police tender (for flak jackets) after the deadline was extended to allow a company owned by a Whangarei friend to make a late bid. Banks was subsequently cleared.
    Another Member of Key’s cabinet, justice minister Judith Collins, was forced to resign amid allegations that she leaked personal information about political opponents to a right wing blogger known as Whale Oil. The revelations — which resulted in the book, Dirty Politics — resulted from Whale Oil’s computer having been hacked, allegedly by none other than Kim Dotcom.
    While Minister of Police, he was fined $750 for answering his cell phone on a commercial flight in 1991
    Conflict of interest allegations were raised when, as Tourism Minister, he submitted a bid for the Waitangi Resort Hotel.



    So we got this whitewash report in 2016 that Murray MCully kinda acted within the law in regards to the Saudi Sheep bribe. Nothing to see here folks, just a Senior Minister paying an $11.5 million dollar bribe to a Saudi Businessman in the sad hope that we can get a free trade deal with Saudi Arabia,
    Barclay lied for months about secretly taping a staff member. Bill English first didn’t know anything, then did know something, then questioned if any such tape even existed and then admitted to being asked to listen to the tape that never existed while National Party Board members bullied staff and made veiled threats.
    On top of that, English fought tooth and nail to hide his involvement and leaned on the Police to ensure that happened.
    Oh and it turns out Bill sent 450 text messages to the staff member in question but he “wasn’t involved”.
