Ministerial Deals Shameful

MINISTERIAL DEALS SHAMEFUL
26 SEPTEMBER
2014
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
The Taxpayers’ Union is repeating calls for the Prime Minister to explain the Ministerial deals he looks to be doing with his support partners. Taxpayers’ UnionExecutive Director Jordan Williams says:
“The Prime Minister’s comments suggest that Ministerial warrants are being awarded in order to ramp up taxpayer-funding of the Government’s support partners.”
"The election was the first time under MMP that political horse-trading between the Government and other parties to obtain a majority is not necessary. National’s dishing out of portfolios so that ACT and United Future get more staff is a shameful deal with taxpayers picking up the bill.”
