As always mike, you’re right across it. You’re spot on, $5,000 for a silver tier table and $8,000 gets a gold tier table and access to a cabinet minister
 
You forgot about the platinum table :cool:
Looks like another election coming where labour runs a campaign on about a third of what national does. You’d hope a good portion goes to charity but access to ministers gives a bit of an impression of everything wrong with politics being donors and buying outcomes

Absolutely. And our table will be with Todd McClay
You have to be pretty naive to not consider how things work in a democracy
Every citizen has a voice and a vote.

what a rubbish statement that this resembles democracy in any way, every citizens voice or vote aren’t getting them a seat at a gold or platinum table to get access to a minister. That’s a system that rewards capital and might be newsflash to some that people that don’t have money have good ideas too. Some of course will create jobs which is a positive for society but I think a figure like elon musk has shown to america how wealth shouldn’t be able to buy its way into politics

Pro tip - book a meeting with your local MP and you get to see them free of charge!

Even better, join a union and you get to influence the leader of the Labour Party.

Again, your naivety astounds me. Influence is in everything and everyone. It's only the depth that varies.

Aren't you tradie? Never tried to influence any work or done homers for mates or traded off for a box of beer?

Taxpayers pay our representatives a healthy salary to represent them, not just who can give them the what they desire most. I can recall a time when Ashley Bloomfield was given tickets to a match that was deemed bad form to accept by some years ago, in fact many don’t seem to hold the same opinions they did then as they do now. The people that call out other posters for their posting on politics were about the worst before grizzling constantly about worst government ever, little did they know that NZ’s worst government was just being put into power
