Then we get this .

I'd also be interested to know what the practice was under the previous government. Labour MPs are not openly attacking English, which makes me suspicious.
I am sure, because this is acceptable practice,it hasn't been questioned. Helen had an apartment in Wellington (so says Duncan Garner) and lived at Premier House(or whatever it's called) so she probably rented it out at least whilst residing there, but then again maybe not.Labour were pretty good at slagging trusts that National seem to hide behind so it would be nice if they didn't do this themselves.Maybe something will come out today if they are sitting.

Sorry, but I think this should officially be declared management-speak, and not in a good way.
Well I don't think it should be denigrated in such a way that I doubt it was originally intended so I will agree to disagree on that one.Cant get all jiggy on it sorry.

that would make sense about removing himself as both trustee and beneficiary. Hadn't thought of that angle.
If so, he is definitely not alone. Just the few mentioned tonight seemed to do this, Probably considered good accounting as trusts are set up to do.I would imagine it is airtight too in that it's legal.

Where’s the fun in that? Sophistry is Mark’s bag.
Yeah, but does it matter if he gets there in the end.If the influence is good, should it not be a good thing.He certainly tests some of us, so what, Korero.

Sofie, have a lovely glass for me while being comfortable of your magnificent couch!
Righto, I'm on yours now. :)Seriously black velvet is a beautiful fabric and the back side is gold with black flecks of the velvet which makes 2 pillow shaped cushions necessary tomorrow then I'll sort your delights :)That and refill my lost filling should make for a good week. Can you fire me your postal address Islander. You got my number.

Plus, NO benefit is easy to get in NZ.
Completely off topic. I just recovered my couch in a beautiful plush black velvet for $250.00. I think that is marvelous. I so happy, I think I will drink. :) Cheers -
Interesting that Finlayson, Roy and Dunne don't collect any housing expenses for living in Wellington, but as circumstances for other MP's indicates, there are ways to retain properties whilst renting on the taxpayer in Wellington. Still,I think if a property an MP owns is not fit for it's purpose (Key said 2 brm no good for 3 kids) couldn't they replace it at their own expense as the rest of us do.To make what appears to be a very cushy job so easy to do, how will any of them truly understand what it's like to be a kiwi battler, in circumstances they claim to know how to fix?Their circumstances seem not to be the average kiwi so I say."A plague on both your houses" One is enough for each Minister.

that's not a good look.
Sometimes you are too polite Mr Brown.
