from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
There’s debate over housing entitlements after it was revealed National's Louise Upston claims allowances for a home she already owns. MPs needing semi-permanent accommodation in Wellington can access up to $52 thousand a year. National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it is an entitlement, because MPs have to stay in the capital. Labour's Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking there's certainly room for a discussion. She says much of this is hard for many Kiwis to stomach when there's a cost of living crisis going on.
