Letter: Praise for PM Brown
Wednesday 29 January 2025 | Written by Supplied | Published in Letters to the Editor, Opinion
Dear Editor, As far as I see it, the PM Mark Brown is doing more work than anyone else in government, and I don’t mean blowing rubbish and cutting hedges on the side of the road.
The two opposition leaders Tina Browne and Teariki Heather both collect a big fat parliament salary of $2000 per week each for their PART time government jobs, and they continue to work FULL time in their own companies doing their private work and earning extra income.
Carry on the good work for our country that you are paid to do PM.

I agree with regards MPs getting paid for doing who knows what....However, I cannot congratulate the PM who is acting like a bull in a glass shop, so focused on his seabed mining red flag, that he's not seeing the subsequent devastating damage. Kua kakaoa te toa moa inara, kare te ua moa i anau iake
