Hone’s pointer to how MPs can test their popularity

Gotta take your hat off to Maori Party MP Hone Harawira.

Hone has a flair for pissing off Alf with his Pakeha-hostile antics, more often then not. But not this time.

Radio NZ says Hone is to hitch-hike around his electorate to cut travel costs.

The MP for Te Tai Tokerau is among those with the highest expenses in Parliament, with travel costs of almost $67,000 in the first half of this year.
