A barrister's defending generous work perks for judges. 

Those in the profession are entitled to thousands of kilometres of free air travel for them and their partners. 

Crown limos are available for free, alongside top-ups to phone and internet payments.

He suggests judges based in Wellington, Auckland, or Christchurch would have to uproot their lives for a trial in Rotorua, as all the witnesses would live there.
