Not so sure FP. We don't hear anything at all from Ron Mark these days but I do agree he seems much more sensible. Jones did a deal with Winston to come into NZF and I am sure it wasn't to be a quiet backbencher.

More of an issue to me is her stance that it is OK to do so. She excuses this behaviour even now (seems if the same thing happened now she would make the same actions).
She is telling people that it is OK to break the law on this but where do you draw the line? When is it not OK?
A good post dobby41 and I agree with this entirely. The fraud was bad enough on its own but her combative attitude suggesting it is OK for beneficiaries to rort the system if they feel they need more, is shocking. She should resign.
I am very surprised to see EZ support and try to justify her actions
Sadly I think Turei and The Greens have done this in a calculated way and are trying to mobilise the far left anti establishment vote, like Jeremy Corbyn. Sad.

How many of you are doing it all legally with your LAQC's etc.?? ANYTHING to stay there, yep.
Rise up NZ; you don't need to support this party; can do a lot better ,like a little equality for starters followed by honesty and integrity; long lost with national and its acolytes. Its time for a humanity change.

JT didn't National change the rules for LAQCs in the 2010 budget to scrap the ability to attribute company losses to shareholders ? Seem to recall reading about it at the time but not sure of the detail.

Here's another shocker from the National Govt, their attitude to freight in South Auckland. Instead of spending a piddly $65mill to have a third rail line completed for freight in a congested corridor, which also allows more frequent passenger rail for Aucklanders, they had KiwiRail redact the decision document. The govt preference is for more truck freight in Auckland, the worst option in the report. Now the full cost/benefit analysis is released after pressure on govt, and you can see what a poor decision it was. National is just not doing the job we put them in there to do.

I hear on the grapevine that sales of Kenworth trucks have been going through the roof for the last few years.

Yes they did.
LAQCs were effectively replaced by LTC (Look Through Company) which are similar but not the same.
