A change of Government in Australia this month

..YEP..

Will anything change - lets hope so 

All I ask is that they work towards being honorable and work for the people 1st, not feather there own nest, keeping themselves contented now and into the future.

I get angry when I see things that should not be available to politicians uniquely, like the  Family Travel Benefit 

This is free travel for family members paid for by us. What other industry gets this perk? 

And how much does it cost us the TAX PAYER?

Here is a snippet I took from our Government Website which is readily available.

Period 

01 July 2014 - 31 December 2014

  

And the BIGGEST Spender in Australia for this period ? The one and only ........

Peter Dutton from Queensland : At a cost to us of $28,537 

close behind on the spending ladder is :

Nova Peris from Northern Territory costing us $25,435

Lets work around Australia looking for each states BIG Spender 

Western Australia : Luke Simpkins $19,366

South Australia : Penny Wong $14,998

Tasmania : Stephen Parry $15,582

Victoria : Bill Shorten $25,150

New South Wales : Chris Bowen $13,604

Australia Capital Territory : Andrew Leigh $1,995

FREE travel for family members of 8 politicians : $144,667 in 6 months

There are a total of 224 senators and members of parliament that have this benefit. 

This is only the top 8...!!!! spenders

The next 3 big spenders in Queensland are:

Warren Truss @ $21,735

Ian McDonald @ $18,368

Glenn Lazarus @ $17,836

This is my home state and these pollies would not spend like this, if it was there own money.
