Question of the week

In Parliament on Wednesday 22 August, during Questions for Oral Answer, Bill English raised the Electoral Finance Bill and asked Mark Burton:

Can the member confirm that under this law, he, as the member for Taupo, will be able to spend $65,000 of public money next year promoting himself, and anyone who tries to challenge him will be limited to $20,000 expenditure for the whole year; and does he agree that even with a three to one advantage he will get trashed?
