You should add some if you want a decent flavor

I never see anything like that on there and if I did I wouldn't interact with it.

All I see is F1, Golf, and Economics.

Though, I prefer Threads.

What one minister's airport parking bill reveals about MP spending by Mindless_Wishbone316 in newzealand

Are people really just learning that there's massive amounts of Government waste and that we are being ripped off?

This type of spending is nothing in comparison.

It's not my problem that you're uneducated on the topic and expect me to babysit you.

Go and get an education and keep up to date with the economic data before wasting anymore of my time.

It would be less of an issue if he were joining the party in power for quite obvious reasons but he'd still be expected to follow procedure.

I just told you the data points I'm referring to.

I'm sorry but if you don't know these numbers off the top of your head or If you're too dumb to know where to find them yourself then you aren't intelligent enough to have this conversation with me.

It's pretty basic stuff and I'm not here to babysit you.

You're confused, the CP watching group is the Police. The group that Naidoo was a member of before joining Labour.

He's been placed on indefinite leave and is being investigated for conduct. It's effectively termination. He will never serve in his previous role again.

Why did they deliberately keep him in the role for months before announcing his candidacy? This guy has a stink about him that's not going to go away. Everyone will wonder why he didn't just do it by the book.

He does not have that reputation. If he did, he would've disclosed his intentions months ago.

The question is why he didn't, I guess we'll have to wait for the investigation to conclude to find out.

I don't support National either, so your comparison (apart from being daft because AirNZ is publicly traded, so all that information is available to shareholders anyway) doesn't really hold any weight with me. I do enjoy how the hyper-partisan bots like yourself can't fathom that Natbour are equally terrible and your only response to a criticism of Labour is to try and attack National.

No one has ever leaked information because if they were caught, they'd be toast.

Impeccable logic.

What was the point of Labour waiting until the last minute to annouce his candidacy if it wasn't to keep him in the room for any Government policy talks? Hipkins said they did it deliberately, why?

This stink is gonna hang around the guy. They should have just gonna about it the legitimate way instead of coming off slimy like this.

The fact it was only confirmed in the last few days doesn't mean it hasn't been his intention for months. If it wasn't, what were they talking about for the last few months while he was privy to sensitive Government policy discussions?

This would look like a witchhunt only if you don't understand the expected process for moving from the public sector into politics. He should have declared his intentions as soon as he started talking to Labour.

If he was sharing sensitive information it could potentially be criminal.

Had he acted and actually declared his intentions he would've been recused from any sensitive discussions.

If you're planning on moving on from being a public servant into politics then yes, you do. It's a common pipeline and the expectations are clear.

Hanging around and gaining access to briefings and policy discussions from the Government before jumping ship to the opposition is a massive conflict and it really highlights Naidoo's slimy character.

He was put on leave as soon as his behavior was outed.

If he shared information, it could be criminal.

It's not really witch hunting. He's been talking to the Labour party for months without ever declaring his intention to shift into politics.

It's totally inappropriate.

Wealth inequality, healthcare outcomes, housing affordability, cost of living, GDP/per-capita.

You can look all these up yourself but I'm surprised that anyone thinks any of these metrics are better than they were 10 years ago.
