Description

Two men walk along a corridor in the Beehive. A notice warns them to 'Beware of leaks, drips and a lot of old rot' - Text above reads 'Roof of the Beehive not watertight - News' One of the men comments that this 'pretty well sums it up'. Parliamentary Service general manager Geoff Thorn has said there is not enough money in the current allocation for building maintenance to repair the roof of the Beehive, which has some minor leaks, or to complete refurbishment at Bowen House on Lambton Quay where a number of MPs have offices. The notice about 'leaks, drips and a lot of old rot' can also be read as a less than complimentary comment about the government in general.
