So today is "credit card receipt day"
 

Who's going to get busted today?

$6k on golf clubs, now paid back.

dafuck?

Jesus Christ, how many fuckin' dumplings did the fat boy eat?

holy loly the media are going to be salivating over this one

They've been salivating for quite a while already.. Just check out Stuff's "rolling coverage" and "breaking news"

Phil Goff must be laughing into his Weetbix this morning.

What party isn't going to get busted?

Heh. Who pulled the switch!

Heh, that's funny. On the radio this morning they reported that he was adamant that it was normal movies and not porn because he is a film buff. I guess he has suddenly remembered what he was watching...

In his defence, a well produced porn movie with a strong storyline and good acting could be hard to tell from a regular summer blockbuster.

Oh no wait, those don't exist...

What a silly boy Jones. Afaik the name of the movie doesn't even appear on the bill?

Maybe he watches pr0n at hotels on & off duty & can't remember specifically.

There were whispers that Jones was inline to take over Goff. Not anymore lol.

Oh well, that's Labour in Opposition for another term. The usual suspects strike again - Carter, Jones, Carter, Horomia, Tizard, Carter, Carter.

One would imagine that's because those are the names the media has decided to audit first, imagine there'll be plenty more as they get through more of the documents.

OUR TAXES AT WORK

Jones just admitted to watching porn.

No biggie but ffs, pay for it yourself you tool.

If I understand correctly, he did, long before this ever became a story..

No, he paid some money BACK after renting porn using his taxpayer-funded credit card. It doesn't change the fact that he's a retard for using his Ministerial credit card in the first place, and then dodging and weaving in the media about it.

Edit: LOL

I thought using the card for personal spending then reimbursing the money is perfectly allowed under the rules?

SHIT no. Personal spending is against the rules, full stop.

I thought in Jones' case it was "it was pay-per-view movies, but not porn" then it's "I don't remember if it was porn or not" and finally now it's "ok, it's porn, but it's ok because (a) I'm a red-blooded male; (b) I paid it back....."

Aah well in that case then, fire his ass!

edit: 1337 post!

What I don't understand is he could have split the bill up when paying for it. Having personal charges to his own credit card, and business on the other.

true.
when National MPs were getting raked thru the coals, Stuff published the rules.... they were pretty strict

(Can't find it in a quick search for reference though :()

Yeah, thats what I had to do when staying in a hotel on the companies dime as well..

4 months in the putrajaya marriot, that was a long ass reconciliation at the end!

Ah well at least Jones can truly say as a Labour MP, that he "looks out for the little guy" _b

OMG FATFUCK, that would feed a family of 5 for 3 weeks and this harpuka eat it all in a night ... AHHHHH NOM NOM NOM NOM :mad:

Paying for porn? More evidence that Labour doesn't understand the Internet :)

Yeah, no where did it say how many people were dining, nor how much of the bill was alcohol.

Yes, "massages" with his boyfriend in South America.

Actually I don't WANT to know more.

Lol at all of this.

Lol indeed.

I wonder if the Audit Office will find that this lot did not intentionally break the rules.

*cough* Heatley

The guy who handed in his resignation you mean?

Oh. Right. Anyway,

.

Ahahah!

So you agree suitable punishement for Jones will be resigning his ministerial portfolios for a month? :P

I just had it pointed out to me that Jones is a List MP, so if he resigns the next Labour list candidate gets a free pass into Parliament without having to be elected... and that's Judith "INTARWEBS EXPERT" Tizard. Another talentless bludger who seems to enjoy spending taxpayer money on herself.

Frying pan, fire.

Yeah, fuck that. He can stay.

Based on the above information, I welcome our porn overlord Shane Jones and offer cash to fund his porn addiction.

I would like all good nzgamers who care about this great country to burn 10 dvds worth of porn and send it to:

Hon. Shane Jones
130 Broadway
Kaikohe 0400


Thank you for your kindness.

Yeah, the same guy who's resignation wasn't accepted because that Audit Office found that he did not intentionally break the rules.

If he claims that he didn't 'intentionally break the rules', why would he resign? That's hardly consistent.

Speaking of consistency. Nice precedent Audit office _b
