| In this current climate Bill English has the gall to say "he hasn't really thought about..." taking the 'NO' option of a $12,000 pay rise. C'mon Pollies lead by example....there are people tightening their belts, losing their businesses, going bankrupt,losing their jobs!!!!! Say NO to the pay rise and spend it more wisely on the country. |

| This has been happening for many years and there is some nonsense that they cannot refuse it but can give it to Charity if they wish. |

| On the wages I saw...off hand if I recall...the lowest paid MP gets 123,000 dollars per annum and the PM has the highest with somewhere in the vicinity of 250,000 dollars per annum. You should also be aware that they also recieve many perks on top of this wage like accommodation,travel,etc. Kind of obscene when beneficiaries are struggling to put food in their stomachs and keep themselves warm. I would suggest politicians should lead by example in these times and halve their wages. If they can't live comfortably on half then they should employ a beneficiary as a budget adviser.....solves two problems at once then...unemployment and gross overpayment. |

| Politicians if they continue to demand such high salaries etc should be made to work for it.We the citizens of this country are their employers.In effect we give them 3 year contracts to perform for us at the end of the 3 years they should be accountable to us.No performance in social areas etc salaries repayed. That would stop the all talk no do syndrome. |

But did you see the pay comparisons between what we pay our esteemed trough dwellers and what they pay over seas?
Good Grief, for a small country we pay way too much.
Work out the various populations of each country and how much each politian in each country costs ech citizen. We pay way too much.
AND keep paying for the trotters even after they leave. |

| Raynbowwitch...that is what needs to stop here. They need to get off their combined fat butts and start serving. For twenty odd years they have done nothing but make this nation worse. It was great when I came here in the beginning of the eighties and then from when David Lange took office it all went downhill with Roger the razor and Strewth Ruth et al. Gerry Brownlee I met when I was printing the election banners for the different parties and he is a wannabe mafiosi. Swaggers about like he owns the place...right tosser! |

three terms in office and pensions and perks for life.
9 years for a 90% pension.
How about income testing for recipitants of those paid from the public purse, starting with the fat cats in the beehive, and if they have more than a certain level of income theycan do the politican bit as charity work |
