Goodbye to Perks

Monday, 21 May 2012 17:33

Retired NSW premiers are about to get less of the generous life entitlements they have previously enjoyed including free air travel, office staff and access to cars and drivers.

NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell says the changes, coming into effect from next month, will save taxpayers more than $500,000 dollars a year.

They come after a review found NSW had the most generous entitlements scheme of all the states.

Mr O'Farrell announced that premiers who hold office for five years or more will get entitlements for just 12 months after retiring.

Other former premiers will also have their entitlements stripped back, as will deputy premiers.

Former long-serving premiers Neville Wran ($602,785 per annum), Nick Greiner ($588,533 per annum) and Bob Carr (suspended entitlements of $418,480 per annum) will all be affected by the reforms

Keeping P Platers Alcohol Free

Young drivers are not going to like this but Victoria's top traffic cop thinks they should be motoring around with a P-plate until they are 25 years old. With statistics to back him up, Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill told Fairfax Media that such a drastic move would help cut the state's road toll. It would mean young adults would have to drive with a zero blood alcohol level for an extra three years, or for the first seven years of solo driving. Mr Hill said 40 per cent of people aged 20 to 25 who... Read more
