Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei "must resign immediately" after admitting further lies to authorities while raising her daughter in the 1990s, ACT Party leader David Seymour says.
Turei on Thursday night said she had enrolled at an address where she did not live in order to vote for a friend who was running in the Mount Albert electorate in 1993.
Allowances issue[edit]
In 2009, the media, including TVNZ and TV3 revealed that English was receiving about NZ$900 a week as part of a living allowance for ministers, to live in his own NZ$1.2 million Wellington home. At the time, English also received $276,200 in his annual salary as Deputy Prime Minister.[36][37] It was also revealed other ministers with homes in the capital city were also claiming accommodation allowances.[38] On 3 August 2009, Prime Minister John Key announced a review of the housing allowances claimed by cabinet ministers.[39]
English subsequently announced he would pay back $12,000 and only claim about $24,000 a year in living allowances.[40] The Auditor-General's office said in September 2009 that they were making "preliminary enquiries" into parliamentary housing expenses in response to a letter of complaint from Progressive party leader Jim Anderton.[41] Two days later English announced that he would no longer take up any housing allowance and had paid back all the allowance he had received since the November 2008 election.[42]作者: ztswyz 时间: 2017-7-26 16:09:59
