If I had arranged for Parliamentary Services to hire my good friend, I simply wouldn't ask that friend to plan my wedding because the risk of spending public money on myself would be too high. /1 #nzpol

To be clear, I have no issue with Parliamentary Services hiring party activists to work in MP's offices. An MP needs to trust their staff. /2

It just seems obvious you don't then go blurring lines by giving that person a mix of public, party, and/or private work *unless* you're happy to show how you've kept it all above board. /3

So, as such, how on earth is @RichardHills_ calling my request for such a clarification a "cheap shot" or an "attack" anything but a cheap shot attack of his own? You too, @David_Cormack. /4
