Description

A snail carrying the briefcase of the 'Auditor General' slides up to the 'Parliament Security' desk and says 'I've come to talk to Pansy..' The security guard tells the snail 'I'm sorry, but you've missed her, she's Wong gone...' Context; Pansy Wong resigned from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood Smith. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.
