More about the ministers...(was just now on the 6 o'clock news)
They get 12 free domestic flights/year and 90% discount on international flights when they go on vacation. This means that we fork the difference! Why should we pay for a minister when he goes on holiday? Would you like to know their salary? NZ$ 250000.00

Economy
Just to update you guys about the 'renting problem' that NZ ministers are facing at the moment.
Bill English (finance minister) has decide to return to the government $12000,00 in tax payers money. This amount was to cover part of his accommodation expenses. He's still getting an allowance, despite the fact that he owns a house in the capital, and denies any wrong doing. He also said he has to 'lead by example'!
In my opinion that's not good enough! If you have to work and live in Wellington and you own a property there you should not be entitled to any help from the government, period!
