Politicians perks

Once again hi lighted in today's Sun Herald we see how our treasurer has been making the most of the money available to him at the taxpayers expense.

It is not illegal but when the foxes write the laws for the hen house what is going to happen

He is not the first to work these scams as it has been mentioned before with both sides of parliament but when politicians do not have any oversight and can do whatever they want to do with impunity there will be one result, the public get stuffed

In this case Joe gets paid $1000 per month to sleep in his wife's house when he is in Canberra
You add this to all the other allowances and his extras are probably more than his salary

Herald Sun

Until we the people get the power to call on our politicians for an explanation or force them to a by-election the scams will continue
