About my last post...after watching the news:
The NZ government gives money to help ministers who don't have properties in Wellington (capital of New Zealand). But some of them are claiming this allowance despite the fact that they do own a property in the capital. They come up with different excuses...one of them has said that his 2 bedroom apartment is too small. So he's renting it out! He then gets the money from the rent PLUS the allowance.
The minister of finance(!) has a $1.2 million house and still gets NZ$900/week.
John Key, the prime minister, is defending his ministers but at the same time acknowledges that there are some inconsistencies in the system and has promised a review by the end of the week.
I hope so!
