Criminals - including those who steal from their fellow men - get a small consideration in their sentence for early admissions of guilt.- It doesn't alter their conviction. Turia was studying law. How much of the money has she paid back from her very healthy salary? Doesn't she realise that this money was taken from one or more other beneficiaries whose needs were greater?

Sorry but I'm not impressed at all. I might also cross out the Greens for my party vote consideration then.

Yes feels like forever when honesty led the country ,i agree about Little. Maybe close your eyes and listen rather then a superficial observation.

The ill-thought and ill-prepared Brexit referendum and result seems to have empowered the extremes on all sides in the UK.
In the 1970's when the UK was going through a tough patch politically and economically, didn't some far left UK unionists come out to NZ and try to radicalise and stir up trouble in NZ as well?

That's right. I recall one senior politician being caught out in the housing allowance scandal in 2009 and paying back $32000 to the taxpayer. I think his name was Bill English
