Labor's Travel Allowance Change: Clarification or Loophole?
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Prime Minister Albanese defends travel allowance changes, despite concerns over transparency and accountability. Labors Don Farrell made a rule alteration in February, broadening what politicians can bill taxpayers for travel expenses. Independent Senator David Pocock calls it outrageous, arguing it allows taxpayers to fund campaigning and political party events. Energy Minister Chris Bowen defends the changes as a clarification, but critics stress the need for clearer guidelines and rigorous oversight to maintain public trust.
