Christopher Luxon is the first Prime Minister in at least 34 years to claim the payment as previous titleholders have either lived in Premier House or were already based in Wellington.
Like, it’s great that this line of income exists for ministers/prime ministers that genuinely need it to be able to live in Wellington. For example if an average New Zealander got into parliament.
However the hipocrisy from this man is unreal. This is using the electric car rebate but critising the hell out of it and scrapping it as soon as he could, but on a whole other level.
If housing is an issue in Wellington (it is) actively work on fixing it as opposed to providing crazy subsidies to ministers.
Luxon mentions people on the benefit needing a crackdown as there are people living on taxpaplyer money who shouldn’t, what the fuck is he doing claiming all of these extras?
Time to bring in means testing for the benefits our ministers can access.
