Pay It Back Suggestions
Both the Dominion Post editorial and Generation XY have handy suggestions for how Labour can fund-raise to pay the money back.
From the Dom Post:
Item 1: An autographed copy of the hitherto unpublished but legendary Why Prime Ministers Paint featuring original works by various artists, all signed by Miss Clark.
Item 2: A guaranteed no-fines high-speed trip, complete with police escort, to the footy with the prime minister. Not for the faint-hearted, but guaranteed to get you to the game on time.
Item 3: Cut-price home renovation with a Thai curry meal thrown in. Contact Phillip Field.
From Gen XY:
10. Helen Clark will defame someone, get sued, settle out of court with taxpayer money and the suer donates the money to the Labour Party who pays the Parliamentary Service.
6. David Benson Pope will run camping trips during school holidays.
3. Helen Clark will auction another painting on Trademe.
1. Labour’s billionaire will donate money to each union who will in turn donate it to the Labour Party who will pay the Parliamentary Service.
