Govt accused of rorting Parliament system
The State Opposition says the majority of state Labor MP's are manipulating the system to receive thousands of dollars in extra pay.
Premier Kristina Keneally recently appointed four new parliamentary secretaries, bringing the total to 13.
This includes the Member for Wollongong Noreen Hay and the Member for Shellharbour, Lylea McMahon.
Opposition spokesman Chris Hartcher says the Government is manipulating the parliamentary allowance system.
"What Labor is doing under Kristina Keneally is simply running a rort system in Parliament whereby the whole system of parliamentary allowances is rorted for the benefit of Labor MP's," he said.
"We have a Government which is just for the mates, and that is a tragic comment on the Premier."
