Government Seeks Watchdog's Advice on MP Travel Perks
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Federal government seeks watchdog advice on MP travel perks, following public backlash over entitlements. Current rules allow nine business class flights for spouses and three economy fares per child to Canberra, plus three return business class flights for family members outside Canberra. Critics argue these expenses, especially for social events, are excessive. Senior ministers have unlimited spousal flights. Governments move could lead to new rules, aiming to address public concerns and restore trust in the system.
