Pollies: National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen talk MP housing entitlements, Labour leaks
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
There’s debate over housing entitlements after it was revealed National's Louise Upston claims allowances for a home she already owns.
MPs needing semi-permanent accommodation in Wellington can access up to $52 thousand a year.
National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it is an entitlement, because MPs have to stay in the capital.
Labour's Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking there's certainly room for a discussion.
She says much of this is hard for many Kiwis to stomach when there's a cost of living crisis going on.
