From yesterday's Herald:
"Discredited member of Parliament Todd Barclay is leaving New Zealand -
before the election.
"Three months after announcing his decision not to stand again in the
Clutha-Southland electorate, Barclay is moving to London.
"He leaves for England on Tuesday, seeking employment opportunities.
"He is still officially an MP on a $160,000-a-year salary, with
taxpayer-subsidised travel and car, until the September 23 election."

Yes, nothing to worry about here. That is the way the rules are written. He
was elected by the people, and he has not resigned. He will no longer be an
MP come 23 September 2017.
Feel free to start a movement to get the rules changed.
