Holly Walker - Hero of the Week

We've all heard the repeated claims by the government that there has to be budget cuts in order to balance the books, and that without such sacrifice the government won't get back into the black.

But in reality National isn't doing much at all to reduce our government debt, which has increased by more than 190% since John Key became Prime Minister.

Instead, it's certain opposition MPs who are leading by example to ensure taxpayer's aren't further financially penalized by politician's expensive tastes.

Today, Holly Walker tweeted:

Somehow had lowest expenses in Parliament last quarter. What I don't do in airfares and taxis I make up for in sheer hard work I assure you.

I think that's an excellent achievement and clearly shows that Holly Walker isn't increasing taxpayers costs by overspending. The Green party MP therefore thoroughly deserves this week's Hero Award... Well done.
