A smoke signaller writes: “The Prime Minister and all Cabinet ministers have got the travel bug. As soon as Parliament is finished – with little work done – they all troop off to different parts of the globe. Henry Puna to Dubai, Teina Bishop to China, Nandi Glassie to Korea, Tom Marsters to who knows where, Mark Brown taking off soon, with only Teariki Heather holding the fort. Can someone from government please explain what benefit has this government gained from all the travels and spending of public money since 2010? Can the Opposition force government to show the people just how much public money is spent by each Cabinet minister and MP since 2010? The people have a right to know as it is public money, so we can judge for ourselves who the big spenders are. There is no transparency of public funds spent on travel by all ministers, MPs and even officials. Will the new Ombudsman and the Speaker release this information to the public?”
