Scoop Coverage – Labour’s Ministerial Expenses
In June 2010 a Parliamentary Press Gallery request under the Official Information Act saw thousands of receipts detailing goods and services charged to ministerial expenses released from Labour’s previous three terms in Government. The documents revealed misuse of ministerial credit cards by several high-ranking MPs, including expensive bottles of champagne, sporting and recreational equipment, flowers and massages and several pay-per-view pornographic videos.
