What goes around

Well, after years of National and its proxies beating up stupid, pointless stories about Labour MPs spending taxpayers’ money on ‘perks’ like driving around the country doing their jobs it looks like it’s finally coming back to bite them.

This morning the Dominion Post reports on its front page that John Key spent $217,615 on chaffeur-driven limos last year, more than any other MP.

Now I don’t begrudge MPs travelling in comfort, they do long hours and often need to work while on the road.

But given the amount of noise National and its proxies have made over Labour MPs’ expenses in recent years (if this had been Helen a few weeks ago Farrar would have been all over it) they’re going to have a hard time explaining their silence now.
