Breaking! @simonjbridges will withdraw a controversial increase to travel perks for retired MPs after the Green Party pulled support.
— Jessica Williams (@mizjwilliams) March 16, 2015I'm glad to hear that the government has seen sense on this; I guess John Key didn't want to spend his whole post-Cabinet press conference explaining why Roger Douglas "deserved" a pay rise. Meanwhile if any MP wants to repeal the whole unjustifiable rort, there's a bill here for it.
