I intend to amend the legislation to provide for such auditing. I also intend to apply an across the board reduction of 10% to the party leaders' allowance.
Currently, severance is payable to Ministers and other officeholders, commencing the day after the person ceases to hold ministerial or other office. This is payable for a period up to a maximum of two years. I do not believe this is justifiable any more. I now propose to introduce legislation to abolish this payment for current members of the Government-----
