Labour MP Jacinda Ardern and Green MP Jan Logie have taken up Ms Wysocki's case on the grounds that studying for a qualification that should get her off a benefit will cost her $113 a week out of her own pocket.
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett used a training incentive allowance to study at university when she was a sole parent.
The Green Party flew Ms Wysocki down to Parliament and she sat in the public gallery yesterday while questions were asked about her.
Ms Logie asked Mr Borrows if he thought it was fair that she was reluctantly considering sex work to cover her costs.
Mr Borrows: "I find it very difficult to accept that somebody is forced into prostitution in order to study.
Which made us wonder; if "the Green Party" flew Ms Wysocki down to Parliament yesterday for what was primarily a media stunt, who picked up the tab? Perhaps we're getting cyncial in middle age, but we have a sneaking suspicion that you and we, the long-suffering taxpayers of New Zealand will have been hit up for this.

I am pretty sure that I heard Borrows say during Question ime that she was already receing about $48,000 in benefits.
$43K was the base number PDM.
And the tree huggers are being a tad hypocritical - no money for an electronic note taker, but plenty of OPM to fly whores to cater to their base needs Parliament.
We don't despise whores and we hate Greens so this is the perfect opportunity to spit on them both. Thanks KS!
I meant we DESPISE whores. We do here, aye.
You might despise "whores" as you refer to them Phil, but don't purport to speak for everyone.
"A variety of terms are used for those who engage in prostitution, some of which distinguish between different types of prostitution or imply a value judgment about them. Common alternatives for prostitute include escort and whore; however, not all professional escorts are prostitutes" (via Google)
As the lady in question "has already registered as an escort" the fact that she fits the common description has been established. She is now haggling over the price.
PH, whoring is seen to be a fit and proper profession in NZ.
Rabid greenies are another case, fully deserving of all the opprobrium coming their way for stooping so low as to waste taxpayer money flying the said escort/whore to Parliament.
I've just seen a picture of this recent enttrant to the oldest profession.
She'll struggle to make a quid, or should that be a buck?
Rabid greenies and whores - sickening!
The greenies'd be first to defend her right to hook, so wheeling her out they are alluding it's a spurious profession.
I've blogged on this.
Link whore.
