Politicians stick together

According to Radio New Zealand this morning, Labour supports the government's plans to give ministers a stealth pay rise under the guise of "slashing" housing expenses.

Why am I not surprised? At the end of the day, despite their political differences, they're part of the same cosy club as National. And like the sneaky pay rises rammed through the House unanimously in the dead of night, or the tacit agreement to ensure that Parliament is not subject to the OIA, the members of that club always stick together.

(As for ACT, they're simply hypocrites, as usual)
