Leaves one wondering who are the true capitalists vs the socialists in this country.
What's Cinders pay packet these days?
Doesn't that mean there might be some Socialist rich plicks sailing around ? :)

Former officeholders are entitled to annuity and travel payments for the rest of their lives. Former prime ministers who held the office for no less than two years are entitled to a yearly rate of $10,900 for each complete year the person held office, with a maximum of $54,500 payable annually.
Does he score another bundle each year from Parliamentary Services for X years parked up in the Beehive as well or maybe not ? ;)
Or just three months pay to clean out his desk ?
Perhaps it's also just free return air travel to clear the accumulated junk out of their offices :)
Bad news if they didn't need to fly in to do so, it appears - not even a wheelie bin allowance to cart

The gold plated pension looks like it's history
but this still applies - "MPs also receive a generous pension, getting $2.50 for every $1 contributed."
Poor sod looks like he's done himself no favours by not wanting the Leader's job for whatever brief
benefit that may have scored ;)
Probably now wishing he had have bulldozed his Unemployment Insurance Pie in the Sky scheme through a few years back ;)
Alas but there's Otago who have appeared out of nowhere wanting to be sympathetic to the plight of a soon to become Unemployed Labour Finance Minister, even with their very own unique position ;)
Will they receive a special Support subsidy to help out paying for expensive new talent enlisted on their payroll ? ;) Who pays for all that & the bells & whistles on top ?

after the comfortable Beehive existence of many of Chippy's Sausage Rolls, the occasional Roar in Chambers, the odd chinwaggle with RB Governor, flinging a few bills though, Fudging up the odd Budget and past that - the official Ministerial lifestyle of taxpayer funded luxury and much laxing out - it could take some time retraining to lose all of the former lifestyle's curious habits ;)
