It's high time pollies were NOT given power to determine whether or not they can claim expenses. Their claims should have to be approved by voters at election time!
Australians have been told to tighten their belts, to work harder and now face an even greater GST as flagged today by a PM in a televised interview with his NSW Premier doing the tough speaking for him. That after he promised NOT to raise taxes and NOT to increase taxes at the 2013 Election but subsequently increased the excise on petrol etc. etc. etc.
Small wonder Australians are rightfully disgusted by pollies with their snouts in the taxpayers' trough! People who wilfully break their election promises and fail us at so many hurdles it's sickening!
