Much is rotten in Parliament regarding parliamentarians entitlements.
The problem is on both sides of parliament. But it seems it is performed
at it's most flexible in the Conservative side of parliament.
Just look at the latest "rort" by Liberal MP Don Randall.
Quote:
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is refusing to take action against a
Liberal MP who has spent more than $10,000 of taxpayers' money on
questionable expenses, including travel that appears to be linked to
his Cairns investment property.

This rorter(is this a word) flew to Cairns, bought an investment
property and claimed it as an electoral expense. His electorate is in
Western Australia.
Quote:
Meanwhile, the South Australian Labor senator Don Farrell has
admitted he repaid almost $1000 in travel allowances several months ago
after billing taxpayers for accommodation he accepted free.
Senator Farrell blamed an ''administration error'' for the trip to last year's AFL grand final.
Those damn administration errors. Someone should do something about those pesky administrators.
