- Description
The cartoon shows a mangy dog that represents parliament scratching its fleas. Text above reads 'List MPs getting $40,932.00 each year to run an electorate office, but some choosing not to.... news'. A second version describes the fleas as parasites. Refers to the fact that seven list MPs are receiving almost $41,000 each a year to run offices in their local communities but choose not to, prompting a warning from Parliament's financial watchdog the funding may be reviewed if others follow suit. MPs are able to transfer their individual funding to another MP and even their party which can then pool and reallocate the money. The committee noted seven list MPs had not opened offices and "we would be concerned if the number of MPs not opening offices was to increase significantly". [info source, NZ Herald, Adam Bennett]
