Matua Kahurangi: Lefties at the trough - the left love burning your money

The latest figures from the Taxpayers’ Union show that over the last 21 months, MPs have racked up nearly $15 million in Parliamentary Service spending on travel, accommodation and transport - all on the taxpayer’s dime, with precious little transparency about what the money actually bought.

What leaps off the page, and should make every Kiwi gasp, is that the top five spenders are all from the left of the political spectrum, proving yet again that when it comes to splurging taxpayers’ cash, the lefties simply can’t help themselves.TR
