Pulling a sickie

Oh my lord, how good to be an M.P. eh?   14 sick days away from Parliament without loss of pay and no notification to the speaker, and then they can stay away for much longer than that if they like, with a maximum loss of $10 a sitting day.  Not bad in a climate where senior members of the new Auckland Council are being offer 5 days sick leave a year.  Where is Rodney Hide on this one?  Apparently he wants to save the ratepayer and tax payer money wherever he can?  Is he keen to do it at his own expense as well????   Just saying.......
