Shane Jones is totally outclassed. His $2500 spending spree on porn movies is peanuts (I liked his apologising style, but it calls into question his lack of IQ. I mean, stupid...stupid...stupid). In France politicians get a NZ$120,000 per year "expense account", no questions asked about how they spend it. This is on top of their accommodation allowance and the free travel perks they enjoy. Paying politicians more doesn't necessarily get you a better class of MP, in fact the reverse may apply.
Check it out: 31 paid weeks holiday per year (yes you read that right!!!), retirement age 50 on 75% of their salary (and while they are working their retirement deductions are 7.8% of their salary as opposed to the private sector of 10.5%), and they can never be fired.
