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.
