As for public service, its about time to stop them getting the points and I would even say stop the SP's as they are paid for with my taxes!!
we the general taxpayers should not be subsidising the public service taxpayers travel perks. if you pay for the travel out of your pocket then it should be yours to keep, if not you shouldn't get it. Don't know why NZ just stop giving APD and SP's to public service travel as who else you gonna use to get around the country.
Anyway have a great Christmas and New Year and lets see just what new lows NZ can stoop to in 2014.
