Agreed on one point, the rules need to be changed to clearly reflect the intent of the allowance.
i can see why someone from a rural seat would need an accommodation option for when Parliament sits and it's impossible to commute, I'm not sure if having the tax payer underwrite an asset for them is the best way to do it though
Yep +1
But Dan the Man has dealt with this quickly, getting people to jump.

Here's a thought - what about means-testing the handout and passing it to Centrelink's debt-collection robots if there's any whiff of, well - anything?
Gertting rid of incompetents is a good thing to do. This has all been done in a few days. This contrasts with the CFA where he took too long to act & in my view was an utter beat up by the conservatives.

My view would be the opposite, That was his lowest point, sacking the board and CEO trying to ram through a dodgy EBA
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Michaelia Cash - The minister responsible for my hearing decline & for cutting workers rates from double time to time and a half fails to declare a 1.4 million investment property & a mortgage on the same:
"......Under the rules, any MP who knowingly fails to notify of any alteration to their interests within 28 days "shall be guilty of serious contempt of the House of Representatives and shall be dealt with by the House accordingly". Senator Cash took 78 days to declare the house and 109 days to declare the mortgage....."
If the honourable member had any integrity she would do the honourable thing & resign.
Oh Schadenfreude. It really couldn't have happened to a nicer pollie - well Cory Bernardi, Tony Abbott, Pauline Hanson, Eric Abetz, Ian MacDonald, Malcolm Roberts & Wee Georgie Christiansen would have been preferable.
Still, who am I to complain?

Declaring properties: The MP's are fully aware what they have to declare and it's contempt of Parliament at the highest level not to do so. To suggest
Michaelia Cash forgot at the same time she negatively geared the property is tooth fairy stuff.
Michaelia Cash needs to be charge as does Sam Dastyari. The LNP cannot brush this aside after all the table banging and rhetoric over Sam Dastyari's failure to declare his directorship in a Chinese Company.
Let's be serious, we cannot allow MP's to go to the back bench to serve some type of bullshit punishment so they can be promoted later down the track once the heat has died out.
If he had to pay 2000 a month of his own money he would have being screaming blue murder at his service provider. He must have been downloading more movies than DTM does in year. It goes to show how how much Australians are being ripped off. I pay less than 40 dollars a month for unlimited use at 19mbps and run my smart tv, laptop and at any other given times 5 thais on their smartphones. My pay tv channel has about 100 channels and costs me about 150 dollars per YEAR. That includes 5-6 afl games a week live. I am getting a top box next week for about 170 dollars that will give me the cricket.races, NRL, MKB etc and and that is a one off cost.support is free And the dude who prests and sells them drinks in my local bar?.
Better tell Stuart Robert so he can get taxpayerr funded trip to bangkok, a taxi-limodown here and book himself in to the Hilton or the Dusit. The ladyboys don't give receipts Stuart.
2k a month? What a farce but it is plausible if he is waiting for the NBN. He will pay it all back and say sorry it was an error of judgement and all will be fine.
