- Description
'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister's relief at not being named in the report on MPs' use of credit cards is shortlived; he discovers that he is in the report on the MISUSE of credit cards. Context; The Auditor-General is due to release a report commissioned earlier this year concerning Housing Minister Phil Heatley's use of his ministerial credit card. Mr Heatley resigned from Cabinet but was reinstated after it was found he did not intentionally break the rules by misspending $1402 of taxpayers' money. Prime Minister John Key said the spotlight was now on Ministerial Services. 'The aim of the latest report was to look closely at the adequacy of Ministerial Services' administration of ministers' expenses and to make recommendations on what and where improvements could be made'. (NZ Herald 14 December 2010)
