Pansy Wong and others

(TCM isn't all shit, btw, neither is all acupuncture).

Yes it is.

Back to the OP's point.

Naaaaaaah. If a person got dismissed for that then the company was looking for an excuse to get rid of them. First offence would be, "Gas money please bro", from any reasonable employer. It's what I'd do. Followed up by, 'Don't do it again or you'll lose the privilege." Then and only then would a reasonable employer start getting the bigger stick out. Unless of course that borrowing the company car for personal use was outlined contractually as a firing offence.

We're talking about around $500 that she paid back. Most of you reading this have nicked more than that from your boss in pens, paper, 3/4 hour toilet breaks, 10 minutes every hour smoke breaks, and subtly arriving later and leaving earlier when needed.

Chris Carter certainly "stole" 10s, maybe 100s of thousands of dollars over his long career and he wouldn't have gone if he hadn't been such a monumental dick about the whole issue. If he'd said sorry he'd still be an MP. Probably wouldn't win his seat next election though and would have been demoted down the list.

Muldoon did abuse his position. It sounds nuts now but that Sierra he drove was a special import at a time when us "normal" folk simply weren't allowed to do that and it looked like a space ship compared to anything else on the road. It's why people drove 25 year old Ford Prefects in 1981.

Mate, I see your point but to be honest, we are her employers (indirectly so if that makes you feel better) and she has been voted into a position of trust by the local community. We are supposed to place our trust in these people so misuse of privaledge, no matter how minor or how perceived, is miss use.

I mean, I wish I had perks like that in my job. Now, I see your point about being warned, but an 'Honourable' member of parliament needs to take responsibility for whan they break cler and precise rules. Lets not fuck about with the PC 'I'm warning you' bullshit. This is an entrusted politician who took her position, THE POSITION NEW ZEALANDERS PLACED HER IN, and abused it.

She should be fucked off right out of it for being a lying theiving piggy politician scumbag.

However, I reckon that wanker JK slapped her over the noodle with a wet bus ticket to save face with an ever increasing aisian population, especially in Botany, who could account for votes, and also to avoid the inevitable 'racist' card being played.

Fucking PC riddled government with their own agendas, bastards make me wanna spew....

....yourt hair supposed to look like that......

.....Farking 'ell John, you got nearly a monkey in there......

......guns for show, kinives for a pro.......

......come on, not now please, come on...oh you fucking bastard........

Pollies are human too, and on the scale of MP excesses she's a long way down the list. That Tamihere bloke spent more on undies.

There's a cultural bias and motivation that I can REALLY understand that would have led to this cock up. For all that she's an example of the changing face of NZ's population and representative of our changing global relationships.

Yes indeed, and therefore needs to demonstrate that noone is outside the rules. You break them, you get punsihed. Race, creed, colour, religion, dont matter, you are an MP and thats that.

If we want to play the cultural differential as a cause, that then in turn allows any rule or law breaking to be blamed on culture and thus not the responsibility of the individual.

The UK has gone right down the fucking toilet for that very reason, not in NZ please

Pansy Wong is too big a money earner for the Nats. She pulls in a lot of dosh from the asian community for Key and cronies to take her rorts seriously.
