You can never have enough...

Now that would be an exellent idea, KM. And too, those same law makers ought to be required to live on the lowest level of wage/benefit for 3 months over winter each year as well.

 I'm sure it would bring about far more understanding of the reality of the laws they make.

  
Totally Agree.

But a whole year, making sure they have birthdays and Christmas . Insurance premiums, car rego, school uniforms, stationery and fees.  

Then see if they like it. 

Im sure there's alot of people who would happily live in the Parliament housing too, rather than being in a  car or on the streets too.

Oooh yes, LIKE,LIKE! Excellent idea Popeye. 

I also think that for those MP's who live anywhere other than Welly, a state house small flat could be made available for them when in parliament, no need for expensive rentals because if they need to entertain, there's always Govt house.
