Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2017-02-27.
This bill would tighten the rules for how parliamentarians spend public money on travel and other work expenses.
It would require all travel claims since the 2013 election to be checked after the fact, with similar checks every year going forward.
Politicians would have to publish details of work and personal activities during official travel, and the bill would let authorities be told if expenses are misused.
- requires past and future annual audits of travel claims
- requires parliamentarians to describe the activities undertaken on each official trip
- creates a process for notifying law enforcement agencies of misuse
All members of parliament and senators.
