    It's embarrassing, undignified, makes him look mean, self entitled & small minded.
    And its astonishing his minders didn't advise him not to, unless they did & he ignored them.

    He's supposed to be the Prime Minister, not some grasping little backbencher looking for every taxpayer perk he can get his mitts on.
    Not one PM in the last 35 years has claimed it until Chris Luxon.

    "Im entitled, entitled" he kept repeating & then terrible choice of words for a PM, dismissively labels $52,000 "becoming a distraction," in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
    And he has used his 'drop dead/fxck you' money and showed the MSM that it is petty & not important to him.

    They (and you) can thrashed about, twisting and creating a scene over an entitlement but NZers are so over the petty pathetic whinging and moaning of Labour, the Greens and the likes of you - especially when Labour squandered billions of dollars and corrupted the media as well.

    The attacks on him by the woke media in the last 2 years have actually galvanised white middle class NZers towards supporting him - they know he is not in politics for the money unlike the greedy left (refer Grant Robertson & Ardern). They also know what's fair and what's not.

    Appointing Clare Curran (fired as a minister for deceiving and lying) to the Council of Otago University and she in turn, appointing Grant Robertson (failed minister of finance) as VC on a $600+ package - now that's entitlement. No coverage of that of course in the MSM.

    The 2008 gang - Clare conniving Curran, Clueless Cindy, Hapless Hipkins and Grant 'Lovely Boys' Robertson :

    But in Reality How many Wealthy Successful people know BS and vice versa or want to ?

    What a load of BS


    Look no further than Failed Project "Populist Labour" now laying in tatters with rats jumping overboard left right and centre after one of most destructive wasteful periods of Labour administration ever seen for the sort of ideals a minority of twits were happy to rock along to .. and you come here attacking the next one on fix up mission ?

    Go figure

    Luxon was happy to use Premier House for an extended family shindig at Christmas though.
    Such a hypocrite, and such poor political judgment.

    Keep with the petty stuff, dobby41.

    Shows just how devoid of ideas and inspirations Ardern devotees and Labourites are these days as revelation after revelation comes out of just how useless and incompetent the Labour government was.

    You've said you are a large scale landlord previously dobby41. You have responsibility to make sure your tenants live in "Healthy Homes" standards. Premier House doesn't meet those standards. Why would we expect our PM to put up with that? Enough of the teeth gnashing character assassination. Hipkins and Andersen started a planned campaign of smears and it's blown up in their faces. The butt-hurt media just hasn't figured it out yet. Maybe they won't before the lights go out on MSM.

    You do know that Hipkins (whom you accuse of all sorts of entitlement things) was also entitled to claim the $1k/month allowance even though he has a residence in Lower Hutt but didn't?
    The PM is the only MP where the 'normal place of residence' rule doesn't apply.

    Luxon is assassinating his own character by his actions (and inactions).

    Hipkins (who I don't believe I have accused of any "entitlement things") is from the Hutt as he loved to remind us. Luxon's main residence would be Auckland.

    Healthy Homes dobb41?

    52k issue where Labour squandered billions. Says a lot about the analytical skills and priorities of our resident Labourites and MSM. Both continue to misread the room. People have had enough of the virtue signaling BS and voted that way.

    But 8 of Labour's MPs and ministers did.

    Then, there's Clare Curran appointed to Otago University Council (after being fired for deceitful behaviour) and then, in return she appointed Grant Robertson as VP on $600k+ salary. Corrupted & corrosive conduct to the core.

    Unfortunately neither do a lot of State houses at the moment.

    And many National, Act, NZ1st, Green and Te Pati Maori - but not is their base was in Wellington.
    The PM is the only one who can claim even if they live locally.
    Remember Bill English - family lived in Wellington but he designates Dipton as his normal residence (even though the kids were going to Wellington schools) to claim the accommodation allowance.

    And National never appoints their own to any position?
    Was Claire the sole decision maker? No she wasn't!
