Perk Buster gets Busted

Known for the so called one to stop the extravagant spending of tax payers money - Lex Luther himself - Rodney Hide, has gone and done a u turn:

Earlier this year PM John Key said if Ministers wanted to take their partners on overseas trips with them they had to pay:

On speakers tours MP''s were allowed to take their partners but they had to trade down the usual business class ticket for economy:

Rodney Hide who said he had cleared things with John Key - well kinda he told JK''s Chief of Staff twice: which is kinda like asking Mum after Dad said no.

Rod went one step furthur he used his MP''s loop hole and got the 90% travel subsidy for partners:

Result he spends 25k on travel while he done a Super City fact finding mission:

Well well Mr Luther, as Bill had the Housing Scandal, I am afraid we have to done you the National Squash Rep. Travel Junket Scandal:

I feel there is more to come on this story too, and I know Labour will ask questions when PM Key gets home.

He tried to defend himself on Close Up but the Hosk got the goods on Mr Luther.
