More on the misuse of parliamentary funding. Kiwiblog makes some good points here, asking whether Michael Cullen's intention to legislate for Labour's $446,000 overspend 'is not corruption, what is?' I'm inclined to agree, but as one commenter on his blog asks, 'Didn't National want to introduce retrospactive legislation to make their $100k overspend "legal"?' While these are quite different cases, both involve parties trying to paper over their breaking of the law with new retrospective legislation.
