Corruption?
From this week's Letter:
CORRUPTION
As previously reported Clark used her parliamentary leaders fund to put up 133 bus stop ads telling voters “You are better off with Labour”. Such party political ads cannot be paid for from taxpayer money and must be repaid. Ken Shirley lodged a complaint. The Parliamentary Services Commission ruled the expenditure was illegal and Clark must repay the money. On Thursday Speaker Wilson, Clark’s close friend, said in this case because it promoted the budget, she was making an exception, and Clark need not repay the money! Thought - if ACT had put up bus stop ads saying “You get real tax cuts with ACT” would they be OK, or is there now a different rule for govt parties? Ken Shirley has referred the matter to the Auditor General. Read the documents and you be the judge. Go to www.act.org.nz/corruption.
Go ahead and laugh as much as I did. Wilson is a lawyer to. Well actually she has never worked as a lawyer, ever. She is an academic and such people tend not to see the wood for the trees. That is, of course, if she is actually looking for the wood. Dishonest, spend your money as we like, socialists. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Again a case of one rule for Helen and another rule for the rest. But the biggest prob is the public don't hear about it.
Even if you buy the lie, they have spent $90,000 to advertise that Cullen released a budget this year, without once mentioning the word budget. And it was a 10 day campaign.
$90,000 for that? Even without the lie, it would demonstrate the wastage that typifies the Labour Government.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
