Communicating or campaigning?

David Benson-Pope is distributing the 50 page booklet for over 60s which has slipped through an EFA loophole.

Asked yesterday why he had sent out the booklets, Mr Benson-Pope said he was still the MP for Dunedin South.

“As far as I am concerned, I am continuing to provide a service to the electors of Dunedin South. You know I am always keen to provide a good service as an MP.

And is he also using a taxpayer-funded opportunity to get his name and face in front of voters to help if he stands as an independent in Dunedin South?

We’ll get the answer to that question by Tuesday when nominations close.
