  1. Can we talk about this? MP salaries too low to pay a mortgage. Come on! Reported on Stuff…

    “Former National MP Jami-Lee Ross secretly recorded then-party leader Simon Bridges multiple times, saying he had suffered a huge financial loss after being demoted and would not go down without a fight.

    “I have been unable to pay my mortgage. I took up a large house before the leadership change … it has been very embarrassing,” Ross told Bridges.

    “There have been times where I have not been sure I have been able to use my eftpos card.”

  2. A certain professor says, ‘A non-residential vote in local government is justified on the grounds that local government is funded on rates, a property tax, and so the principle here is ‘no taxation without representation’. But local councils also get tax monies and while it might be for infrastructure often a neglected area by some, councils are now putting their hands out more and more for things like flash stadiums and conference centres therefore adding value to their properties. So is it fair for them to have it both ways, nah!
