- Description
Speaker of the House, Lockwood Smith, wearing little swimming togs and grinning, leans against the door of the 'Parliamentary Trust' with a box of nails and a hammer beside him. He is the proprietor and has nailed up the door. On the other side of the wall, since this is a facade only, a huge pig representing 'MPs' wallows in a trough that represents 'travel perks'. Text above reads 'MPs travel perks now secret'. Lockwood Smith has come up with a solution to the concerns of ratepayers over the amount of money spent by MPs on perks and overseas trips; they simply won't be told. Refers to the news that individual MPs' use of travel perks - such as what was used by Act leader Rodney Hide to take his fiance on an overseas holiday - will now be kept secret under new rules. Previously the quarterly release of members and ministers expenses disclosed the amount spent on this perk, and this is how Mr Hide's trips to Europe and Hawaii with his partner were exposed.
