Jonesies RSVP

The nominations are in, the red carpet booked, pig trophies polished, and Porky's tux is back from the dry cleaner.

The Jonesies are our golden glitz and glamour Oscars-style award ceremony held at Parliament where the Taxpayers' Union (firmly tongue-in-cheek) recognises the 'best of the worst' of wasteful spending across central and local government.

Jonesies Nominations Open

This year’s award ceremony will be on Wednesday 9 November, 11am in the Beehive and streamed to our members and supporters who can't attend in person.

Thank you for your support and to all our donors who make the Jonesies possible.

9 November 2022
