    What that sort of behaviour annoys the hell out of me, that's above board and legal spending as part of crazy life-long renummeration package.

    Which is pretty different from what we have here, which is against rules and/or illegal.

    Certainly was -- and the irritant there was the hypocrisy not any question that he'd acted illegally or even improperly in claiming a perk that, if my memory serves, was done away with back in the mid-90's.

    He would argue (in fact, I think he did) that he traded that perk in exchange for a lower salary. But the man was voted into Parliament how many times? I don't begrudge him a lifelong discount on our flagship airline.

    Or rather, I wouldn't. I actually do in his case, since his shtick is privatisation and he couldn't expect that perk from a wholly privatised Air NZ.

    It's not a perk from Air NZ. The Government picks up the full tab. They don't even have to use Air NZ.
