Podcasts about member of parliament

Public outcry over the entitlements used by Members of Parliament is the only thing that will get them changed, a political analyst says. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins has come under fire for using a generous publicly funded private superannuation scheme to pay off the mortgage of his family holiday home, saying that ultimately, it's his money. Other MPs have also been criticised for claiming the accommodation allowance and using it on properties they already own. Bryce Edwards told Kerre Woodham the best thing about the situation is that is has sparked public debate and put the ball in politicians' court. He says it's great the public is taking an interest and that they're angry, as the only way this will change is if politicians realise the public thinks something is wrong here.

Quite frankly, it's all getting a bit much. We're all tightening our belts, we're making decisions about where we're spending our money, what we're spending it on. The rates keep rising, insurance levies keep going up, the cost of everything is through the roof. And for many, many people, there's not a lot of disposable left at the end of the day. Even people who are earning pretty good salaries are suddenly finding there's not as much left at the end of the pay cycle as there used to be. Meanwhile, our House of Representatives are seeing the members gouging the taxpayer for every last cent they can get out of us. Louise Upston is claiming the full $1,000 a week ministerial housing allowance, which she's perfectly entitled to. It's designed to support MPs based outside Wellington with the cost of maintaining two homes. And you understand that. When you become a Member of Parliament, your business is in Wellington, but you might be representing the people of Timaru. You have a home there, a family there. So where are you going to live while you're in Wellington? Your employer should pay your expenses given you're required to be there. So the employer does. It offers an allowance to MPs who are not from Wellington to live there. That is us, the taxpayer. So, fair enough. But Louise Upston owns an apartment in Wellington and according to the register of financial interests, which all MPs have to fill out, there's no mortgage on it. Again, good for her. She's paid off the mortgage on that apartment and presumably her home. But what costs does she then have to claim? There are none. She owns the apartment outright. So she's claiming a cost she's legally entitled to, but should she be? She said at the time, it's an entitlement, I'm well within the rules, I can do it. Louise Upston's case unfortunately came just a week after she reduced the eligibility of homeowners to claim the accommodation supplement payment. She said we want to target support for the accommodation supplement to those who need it most. They are renters, they're not people who are using taxpayer support to increase their own asset. Hello! Are we looking in the mirror? She's not the only one, of course. Labour's Kieran McAnulty, Jan Tinetti, they have properties in Wellington, although they may still have a mortgage. New Zealand First's Andy Foster's doing it. He was the mayor of bloody Wellington and now he's claiming an accommodation allowance for a home in Wellington. Then we find the MPs in the parties, the different political parties, and again, all of them are doing it. Yeah, we wonder why they don't work together more often. Oh, they do, when it comes to their perks and allowances. We find the MPs in parties that own commercial property, which they rent to Parliamentary Service to operate as their own electorate offices. So they own the building, they say to Parliamentary Service, have we got a deal for you? We'll rent this and you pay for it because it's our electorate office. They defend this by saying the offices are rented at below market rates, and again, everybody does it. And then there's the superannuation. Chris Hipkins has defended using a generous taxpayer funded private super scheme to buy his family's holiday home by saying it's my money, I can do what I like with it. And it is, he can. But Heather du Plessis-Allan this morning interviewed Chris Hipkins, and I think outlined in an excellent manner just how it looks. HDPA: None of us are getting $60 to $70,000 popped into our superannuation funds every year by our employer, in your case the taxpayer, which we're then able to withdraw and buy a beach house with. This is the ruling class who has a different set of standards from everybody else. It's not right, is it? HIPKINS: The superannuation provisions that Members of Parliament get are generous superannuation provisions compared to what other members of the public get. I'll absolutely agree with that. HDPA: Do you need to change it? HIPKINS: Well, look, I think Members of Parliament are in a unique role. When people put their hands up to be Members of Parliament, in many cases they're basically leaving behind jobs that they cannot go back to. And we've just talked about an example of that now. When someone puts their hand up to be an MP, it closes off a lot of future potential job opportunities for them. So for many people when they put their hand up to be MPs, it will be the last job that they do. He was referring to Rakesh Naidoo, who is no longer working for Police now that he's put up his hand to be a Labour list MP. But we're told that the reason why backbenchers and MPs have diverged so far from other public servants like police, teachers, nurses – all of the salaries used to be around about the same in the 80s, MPs, police, nurses, teachers. Oh, it's very, very different now. We're told that the reason we're paying so much money is not because they can't get a job when they leave, but because they're so special and their talents are so unique that the private sector would snap them up in a heartbeat. And that is why we give them $177,600 for a backbencher, a learner MP, $320,600 for a Cabinet Minister, and $510,300 for a Prime Minister. Plus the expenses, the living accommodation, office expenses, travel allowances, plus the superannuation. With the superannuation, they get $2.50 for every dollar that the MPs put in from us. The contribution's capped at 20% of an ordinary MP's salary, which works out at $36,240 for every MP as of July 1st when the new rates kick in. So what's it to be? We can't do that. I mean, sure, if you're in a private super scheme of your own with different terms, you can take it out and do what you want with it. But dumb shmucks like you and me who are locked into KiwiSaver are limited to what we can do. We can't buy a second property with ours until we're 65, but hey. Are MPs of every colour and hue —apart perhaps from the Greens who seem to be able to maintain a shaky kind of moral high ground— just having a laugh? Everything is completely legal. Completely legal, but is it right? We're told we have to pay them that much to prevent the private sector from snapping them up. But really, where else would most of those people get that sort of money? Very few of them would and do once they leave Parliament – that's why they keep snuffling back to the trough, looking at Stuart Nash and Michael Wood. They tried it in the public, in the private sector, wasn't nearly as good as working as an MP, so back they come. We're told that they're such brilliant stellar talents that we have to pay them that much, but then Chris Hipkins says they can't get a job elsewhere. Yeah, they can. What they do is they use their political nous and contacts to set themselves up as lobbyists or working for companies as lobbyists in other parts of the world. Once a Minister leaves office, they can't just pop up as a lobbyist because they've got all kinds of insider knowledge – it's like insider trading. Not here. Kiri Allan started her consultancy business two weeks after resigning as Justice Minister and she was still an MP. So while they're doing this job that nobody really wants to do, they're getting paid very well to do it. They're getting good expenses to do it. They're getting a healthy superannuation fund that we are paying them we're paying for everything, but we're paying the super fund as well. Plus, they're building up knowledge and contacts, insider info that they can then sell, either as individuals setting themselves up as lobbyists or to companies that act as lobbyists. It's all legal, but is it right? We're funding all this. I mean, would you do the job? You've heard about the perks, you've heard about the expenses. You'd have to be prepared to be hated by at least half of the population and probably half of your caucus if you're hard working and you've got ambition. There'd be a few people who wouldn't like that. So I mean, you know what the gig is. It's a hard job. Is this what we have to pay for democracy to be sustained? It's legally right, but is it morally right to be claiming these sorts of expenses when you just don't need to? And at a time where you're wagging your finger at other people and telling them they need to tighten their belts and oh, we can't just be giving accommodation supplements away to everybody. They can't use it to build their asset. Yeah, but you can. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should a Member of Parliament lose their seat if they defect from their political party?

Freedom is the thing I think we love the most about living in our country like ours: democratic, pretty liberal. We fight, to protest, we argue, we debate. But unlike it seems most of the rest of the world, we don't get physical. We don't kill each other for our beliefs. We express ourselves and then we try find a solution. Look around the world section of your newspaper this morning. From the Middle East, to Africa, to Europe, to Georgia. To parts of America, even. And you'll see places falling apart at the seams or freedom crushed into a thousand pieces. We have in this country, for the most part, standards about how we don these things. We have boundaries. Two things that worry me about this. Protesters taking it too far as they did over the weekend and live streaming from outside the personal home of Member of Parliament. Their own personal home. Where their partner. Where their children visit. Where family friends stop by for a coffee. Their sanctuary. Their decades of family photos up on the walls. Their junk mail at the door. Some genius thought it'd be a great idea to get a mob outside a Senior Minister's home at the weekend. At nighttime. It's not a good idea. It never has been and never will be. They published his addresses. You might think you appear harmless with your flags and your balaclavas and yelling with your masks over your faces, but not all people outside of politics share this view. You can look scary, intimidating and threatening. So please carry on protesting - we're all free to do so but perhaps next time you stop and think about how far you're willing to take things and what that then think about heat that says about your as person. I think they should apologise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeremy Au reconnects with Anthea Ong for a candid conversation on what it means to lead with integrity, empathy, and independence. They trace her journey from corporate leadership into the social sector and eventually into Parliament as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP). Anthea shares how she first declined the NMP role, then later accepted it after realizing that structural change especially around mental health and vulnerable communities required policy influence. She recounts her unconventional first speech in Parliament, starting with three collective breaths to bring mindfulness into the chamber. They discuss how debate still matters in a supermajority system, why recent mid-term resignations have damaged the credibility of the NMP scheme, and the need to rethink Singapore's political structures in light of global democratic shifts. Anthea also talks about her current work leading WorkWell Leaders, a nonprofit that helps CEOs prioritize employee wellbeing and lead more sustainably. 1. Anthea declined the NMP role in 2011 but said yes in 2018 after realizing that structural change, not just grassroots work, was needed to support mental health and social equity. 2. Her nomination came through the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, and she was selected despite thinking she had performed poorly in the final interview. 3. She made history by starting her first Parliament speech with a short breathing exercise to center presence bringing mindfulness into a space built for debate. 4. She used her platform to speak against discriminatory hiring practices, particularly those that asked job applicants to disclose mental health history. 5. She argued that even in a supermajority Parliament, debate still matters because it influences implementation, sets public tone, and archives dissent for future accountability. 6. She criticized the recent mid-term resignations of two NMPs who joined political parties, warning that it erodes public trust and turns the scheme into a talent pipeline. 7. Today, she leads WorkWell Leaders, where she works with over 80 companies to show how a CEO's personal wellbeing is directly linked to employee health and business performance.

Jess is also the Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding and a fierce defender of women and girls, especially when it comes to men's violence against women, domestic abuse, sexual and reproductive health, childcare, and maternal and paternal rights. Every year, Jess she reads out the names of UK women killed by men in the year since the last International Women's Day⁠.⁠ She also advocates for a greater participation in politics from ordinary citizens, making the case that, “The greatest trick ever played by the powerful was to convince the population that we couldn't change things, when the truth is that we can,” in her new book The Life of an MP: Everything You Really Need to Know About Politics. Some topics we cover include: Why Jess decided to run for office, and what it's like to work for the government The challenges she faces as a woman advocating for women's rights in a male-dominated space The huge role women having less power and control than men plays in men's violence against them How important politics is in all of our personal lives Why we need more women in government - and in all places decisions are being made Power, and why women shouldn't be afraid to try and get it Transcription is available here Changemakers: How women make change happen This is the first episode of the new Changemakers series which explores how women make change happen from those at the top helping to drive it.

MP Blaine Calkins is the Conservative representative for Red Deer and Lacombe in the House of Commons of Canada. He's also what's known as the ‘shadow minister' for hunting, fishing and conservation for the Conservative Party - meaning he is the official opposition party's choice for that role. We connected with his Chief of Staff, and reached out to have a conversation about the Canadian gun issues we've been watching through the past year. It's pretty humbling when an MP in Canada knows about Blood Origins and is a big fan of what we do, and says absolutely to a podcast.  See more from Blood Origins: https://bit.ly/BloodOrigins_Subscribe Music: Migration by Ian Post (Winter Solstice), licensed through artlist.io Podcast is brought to you by: Bushnell: https://www.bushnell.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this podcast, we cover - 1. Interpreting Ambedkar for India today and in 2050 2. Understanding Ambedkar on gender, caste and his relationship with Gandhi 3. The intellectual history and multitudes of Ambedkar's work and writings Babasaheb Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, MA, MSc, PhD, DSc, DLitt, Bar-at-Law, is today among the most revered of Indians, his statues across the country second only in number to those of Mahatma Gandhi. In this new biography, Tharoor tells Ambedkar's story with great lucidity, insight, and admiration. He traces the arc of the great man's life from his birth into a family of Mahars in the Bombay Presidency on 14 April 1891 to his death in Delhi on 6 December 1956. He describes the many humiliations and hurdles Ambedkar had to overcome in a society that stigmatized the community he was born into, and the single-minded determination with which he overcame every obstacle he encountered. We are given insights into the various battles Ambedkar fought to make untouchability illegal, his disputes with the other political and intellectual giants of his era, including Gandhi and Nehru, and his determination to invest India with a visionary Constitution that enshrined within it the inalienable rights of the individual and modern conceptions of social justice. ‘In so doing,' writes Tharoor, ‘he transformed the lives of millions yet unborn, heaving an ancient civilization into the modern era through the force of his intellect and the power of his pen.' Deeply researched, searching, and insightful, Ambedkar: A Life offers readers a fresh and profound understanding of one of the greatest Indians who ever lived.

Barnaby Joyce was the Minister for Agriculture in 2015, when Amber Heard brought her two teacup yorkies, Pistol and Boo, into Australia without declaring them. He demanded the dogs be removed from the country or euthanized because of Australia's strict biosecurity laws. As Australian authorities work with the FBI and DOJ on an investigation into whether Amber Heard perjured herself in court in 2016 when pleading guilty to falsifying travel documents, Joyce talks with Law&Crime's Angenette Levy about the defamation trial: Depp v. Heard, the perjury probe and why he says the United States government is the reason the case is stalled.GUEST:Barnaby Joyce, Member of the Australian House of RepresentativesLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokePodcasting - Sam GoldbergVideo Editing - Michael DeiningerGuest Booking - Alyssa FisherSocial Media Management - Kiera BronsonSUBSCRIBE TO OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Court JunkieThey Walk Among AmericaCoptales and CocktailsSpeaking FreelyLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this special bonus edition of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we speak with Ukrainian Member of Parliament Dmytro Gurin. Dmytro speaks to us from an undisclosed location in Ukraine about the horrors of the Russian invasion and what we can do to help. While it's great to chat with analysts and talking heads, there's nothing like speaking directly to a Ukrainian Member of Parliament to hear his thoughts, his needs, and truly understand his strength and his struggle. This is the first in a series of bonus episodes we will be releasing exclusively for our audio podcast listeners to highlight important voices we feel are not getting nearly enough attention in the mainstream media.
