Kiwi MPs buy porn movies, flowers, and a golf umbrella

The New Zealand parliament has released credit card receipts from the previous Labour government.

Thousands of payment statements from Minister's credit cards from 2003 have been released. They included the-minister Shane Jones, who used his government credit card to watch porn movies in hotels, saying he "lost the plot".

"The reality is I watched blue movies, I'm not going to deny it," he has said. "I've dug a hole for myself and it could well prove to be my grave."

Others were exposed for paying for a spa in hotels, flowers for their partners, dinners and drinks, and even golf clubs and umbrella, and a massage.
