Political commentator Ben Thomas' comments come after a Radio New Zealand report earlier this week revealed that despite the Government saying before election 2020 it wouldn't give mining giant Rio Tinto a subsidy to prevent its Tiwai Point smelter from closing, it offered to cough up millions of dollars just months later.
