Sixty-three grand for a limo on standby? What a load of shit. These clowns are taking the piss while the rest of us can't afford to fill the tank.

Luca Reid2026-06-17T22:59:13.000Z

I take it back, this is dumb. Even for security there's cheaper ways.

Blake Turner2026-06-17T23:05:13.000Z

yeah nah this is cooked. Shane Jones has done some good things for the regions but this is just embarrassing.

Luca Reid2026-06-17T23:18:13.000Z

I dunno, maybe there's a good reason for it? Security or something? But yeah, doesn't look great.

Stuff2026-06-17T23:26:13.000Z

a good reason? You must be joking. Security my arse. They're just throwing money around.

winston peters defending this is a joke. the guy spends half his time on taxpayer-funded limos and the other half lecturing us about fiscal responsibility

Imagine being on standby for 24 hours in a limo. What did he do, sleep in it? Must be nice.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T00:13:13.000Z

for real, I'd kill for 24hr standby limo, instead I'm here eating my sad sandwich at my desk

Aria Wilson2026-06-18T00:35:13.000Z

exactly, classic NZ First move

Sam North2026-06-18T00:21:13.000Z

As someone who works in transport, this is insane. 63k could pay for like three new buses for rural communities. But nah, limo for Shane.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-18T00:34:13.000Z

Peters will defend anything if it's his mate. Remember the painting?

Quinn Murphy2026-06-18T01:30:13.000Z

maybe he was on 'urgent ministerial business'... at the casino

Drew Parker2026-06-18T00:48:13.000Z

lol the only 'standby' I get is waiting for the bus that never comes
