Did Shane Jones take a limo to a conference next door to his hotel? | Stuff.co.nz

Resources Minister Shane Jones and the Government are refusing to confirm or deny whether the hotel he stayed in to attend a mining conference in Toronto was in the building right next door to where the conference was held. Stuff revealed last Thursday that Jones had spent $63,000 on the trip to Canada, despite Cabinet only approving a spend of $33,000. It included keeping a private driver on call, but now receipts appear to show he may not have needed it, because his hotel had an indoor route directly to the event.
