The Government has described the Opposition's statement on the flooding at Leanse Place, which caused the Department of Immigration and Home Affairs to close for the day, as a case of political opportunism.

It says the opposition's attempt to, again, use a maintenance issue to present the rent paid for Leanse Place as poor value for money is myopic and misleading. 

A burst pipe, it says, does not retrospectively make that investment economically unsound.
