Coalition partners taking the piss out of each other's taxpayer-funded trips when they're all on the gravy train anyway. Laughable.
Ex-fucking-actly. All talk no action from these muppets.
I mean, the Act MP has a point – why slag off India trips then go on one yourself? Hypocrisy much?
Act's just as bad. They'd cut public service but still claim travel expenses.
yeah right, cos a few days in India is gonna fix years of stalled negotiations. Pull the other one.
bunch of clowns running this country. FTA stalled for years and now this. ffs

Mark Patterson's been farming his whole life, probably knows more about trade than some suit in Wellington. Good on him for going.
a farmer in Delhi might know shit about export paperwork. It's a photo op.
Taxpayer-funded jolly for the minister while dairy farmers struggle. But sure, let's point fingers at each other.
Honestly, who cares who goes where? Just get the damn FTA done so we can sell our lamb and milk powder without tariffs 🙄
farmers are hurting and you're complaining about a trip? Typical armchair critic.
Wow another politician wasting our money on a 'fact-finding mission'. Must be nice.
get stuffed. We pay their wages. They can fly economy and get on with it.
It's not like NZ First ever opposed trade deals before. But yeah, I suppose a visit could help. Just annoying how they play politics with it.
