Politicians from both the left and right wasting tax dollars indulgently.

Time to keep tabs on them all.

It's sickening. There are so many middle to low income people paying for the indulgences of politicians and making real sacrifices to their living standards so these bludgers who enjoy good salaries and generous allowances can rort the system. Maybe the government should legislate for more transparency so these claims can be thoroughly scrutinised and politicians are forced to explain their scribbled lies and excuses, but neither major party are willing to do this. Only the Greens and Independents seem keen for more stringent control of personal expenses.

Corporate politicians have no skin in the game. None at all.

yes its fucked but if we pay them less we will only get stupider fluffy bunnies.......like Shorten Burk plibersek etc. The greens are different however, they are the enemy of the country and should be treated as such.
