Norman John Kirk

Among the also-rans on the rankings is John Kirk, son of former prime minister Norman Kirk, who skipped New Zealand while still an MP, owing more than $280,000. He was arrested in the United States, imprisoned for 102 days in Dallas, and extradited to New Zealand where he was charged under the Insolvency Act and sentenced to four months' periodic detention.
