Parliamentary expenses are an issue in Canberra. Can we fit it?

This week was the latest in a seemingly endless series of revelations about former senator Linda Reynolds’ parliamentary expenses and interests. payment He recovered nearly $8,800 in parliamentary expenses for trips taken by his partner. This follows a decision by the Independent Parliamentary Expenditures Authority (IPEA) which found it fell afoul of authority rules.

Reynolds is certainly not alone in saying he believes the trips are within the rules but accepts IPEA’s findings.
