Fly my petties...
...we, as taxpayers, will cover 75% of the cost of her business class travel anywhere in the world for the rest of her life.
This, I'm assuming, is on top of whatever pension, superannuation / kiwi saver scheme they may be part of...
The only ceiling or limitation I can find in that linked document is:
**6.17** Limitations on rebates for former members’ international air travel
(1) The total amount paid to a former member by way of rebates for international air travel in each year must not exceed the amount of rebate to which the former member would have been entitled if he or she had flown between Auckland and London using an Air New Zealand Online Business Class return air fare as at 1 July in the relevant year.an esoteric benchmark, and a moveable figure perhaps, but does seem to indicate that they can't just travel all year, but they can do it
every year!It does seem a ludicrous perk on the face of it.
Not to forget rebates on 12 domestic flights
and travel on ferries and trains - why not just give them a Gold Card and leave it at that? -
The streets of Christchurch – indeed, the world – must be littered with earnest chaps, all toppled by a rush of blood from the brain.
…hence stum-bled?
Though it does leave room for some
entrepreneur to create a whole range of
quiet understated personal adornment,
aka Schtum Bling…the Diamante range is known as Sham Bling

Shout yourself horse...
Emma, I’ll go you halves in that pony for Lucy, kay?

I’ll pitch in.so that's like ponying up for a pony, which is what - twenty-five pounds sterling?

...centaur ? -
Bad Motor-Finger!
Maybe I shoulda titled it

The little buggers...
Will nobody think about the dirty old gay men!
Why can’t we be honest about the fact that some boys dress to attract the male gays?

kneed to knowing...
There does appear to be a lot of
hemming and whoring here...
(he thighed)...the upshot seems to be the
borderline proposal that
"if you turn it up, sewn, the seeds are..."
as Yoda might say (if you forced him) -
I have just heard that Sufan Stevens will be touring NZ in Feb 2011. Things are just getting better….
Thank heavens we don't have to be a state of America by then, then!
Anyway, I guess the US won't want to engage with us in the TPPA (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement) after our new Free Trade agreement with Russia ... -
I'm totally wired, ohm, ohm on the range...
Ham was a professional, broadcasting his current status, no time for ammeters here, the smoking power cords put up little resistance, as well. "It's just a phase he's going through" thought Swamp, his arms pistoning conductively - "an electric man outstanding in his field". "Yes, but his constant volte-face can polarise fans" chimed in Fiona Farfisa. "Wi fi fi, dearest transistor, I believe you are switching the subject" intoned Wiggolowski Motor-Finger, adding "Now get out in the kitchen and fry me some chips!". "Such impedance, and he makes me solenoid, too!" fumed the keyed up circuits performer. -
it’s not OK for a woman to be sexually available, whereas for a male it’s often
a matter for pride.and men, of course, now have Mantrol ©TM*
that'll straighten them up and slow them down, yeah right......can anyone explain the reasoning in these new, expensive looking, TV ads - that have the same mindless, Jackass quality as the current
beer ads, and this makes lunkheads slow down,
how precisely?
And how much did they spend on them?*not to be confused with MANTROL the sexual performance enhancer... of course!
