John Key gives away parliamentary salary

John Key, the National Party's leader, is going to continue to give part of his salary to charity when he becomes Prime Minister in November.

Rodney Hide praised Key as a "generous Kiwi" and the spiteful Winston Peters called the gesture "politically motivated".

Bizarre coming from Peters as he generously gifted NZ$155,000.00 of stolen taxpayer money from the 2005 election campaign to 40 different charities recently instead of paying it back to where it came, and he clearly got no political capital from it!

It is not the same thing though.

No comment from Helen Clark, the wealthy property owner who only likes to give other peoples money away, to buy votes.
