1.

Circumstances upon which the additional entitlements may be used for Parliamentary Duties.

1.1

Additional entitlements are provided to facilitate the efficient performance of the following particular Parliamentary duties of Members as follows:

1.1.1

Activities undertaken in representing the interests of constituents, but excluding activities of a direct electioneering or political campaigning nature.

1.1.2

Performing electorate work for a Member's electorate and participation in official and community activities to which the Member is invited because of the Member's status as a Parliamentary representative.

1.1.3

Attending and participating in sessions of Parliament.

1.1.4

Participation in the activities of Parliamentary committees.

1.1.5

Attending Vice-Regal, Parliamentary and State ceremonial functions.

1.1.6

Attending State, Commonwealth and Local Government functions.

1.1.7

Attending official functions to which a Member is invited because of the Member's status as a Parliamentary representative, eg. receptions and other community gatherings hosted by Members of the diplomatic corps, educational and religious institutions, community and service organisations, business associations, sporting bodies or other special interest groups.

1.1.8

Participation in the activities of recognised political parties, including participation in national, State and regional conferences, branch meetings, electorate council meetings, executive meetings, committee meetings, and meetings of the Members of the Parliamentary political party, its executive and committees.

1.1.9

For a Member elected to the Parliament as an independent, participation in activities that are reasonable alternatives to participation in the activities of recognised political parties.

1.1.10

A Member who is elected to the Parliament as a representative of a recognised political party and who subsequently resigns from that party Membership and thereafter sits as an independent Member, howsoever described, shall continue to receive the same entitlements as they received as a Member of the party prior to resignation and not the additional entitlements provided to elected independents. The Member is also not entitled to the benefit of the rule in Clause 1.1.9 above.

1.1.11

Participation within Australia in the activities of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association as well as activities outside Australia organised by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association provided such activities arise directly from Membership of the New South Wales Branch and officially endorsed by the Branch (exclusive of air travel).

1.1.12

Participation in a Parliamentary Group such as the Asia Pacific Friendship Group; provided that, such group is approved in writing by the President of the Legislative Council and the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. Such written approval shall be forwarded to the Tribunal.

2.

Where any additional entitlement fixed by this Determination is to be used for the purpose of facilitating Members' participation in the activities of recognised political parties, the Tribunal sets out the following guidelines as to the use of that additional entitlement:

2.1

Parties registered under the Parliamentary Electorates and Elections Act 1912, and included in the register of parties maintained by the Electoral Commissioner, are to be treated as recognised political parties.

2.2

Additional entitlements should not be used to fund:

2.2.1

activities such as those associated with party Membership drives;

2.2.2

mail distributions for non-electorate or non-Parliamentary activities;

2.2.3

costs associated with election campaigning for an individual Member;

2.2.4

fund raising for other party political Members (such as the purchase of raffle tickets, raffle prizes or tickets to attend functions, etc); and

2.2.5

costs previously borne by political parties which are not principally related to a Member's Parliamentary or electorate duties.

2.3

The electorate office provided for a Member of the Legislative Assembly is not to be used as an election campaign office.

3.

The Tribunal sets out the following additional and general guidelines:

3.1

Some intermingling of a Member's Parliamentary duties and private activities is in practical terms not always easily avoided, but the onus is always on the Member to show that any expenditure or any claim for reimbursement relates to Parliamentary duties, or to the Parliamentary duties component of costs incurred for intermingled Parliamentary duties and private purposes.

3.2

In the case of electorate work, any activities within the electorate, and in respect of which a Member's involvement may reasonably be regarded as deriving from the Member's status as the Parliamentary representative for the electorate, should be treated as Parliamentary duties.

3.3

In the case of Parliamentary work, any activities in which a Member's involvement may reasonably be regarded as deriving from the Member's responsibilities as a Parliamentary representative should be treated as Parliamentary duties.

3.4

In the case of a Member's activities within the broader community outside the Member's electorate, activities that may reasonably be regarded as deriving from the Member's status as a Parliamentary representative should be treated as Parliamentary duties.

1.

All procurement by Members will be in accordance with the Parliament's purchasing policies.

2.

Members must ensure that they have sufficient funds to meet the costs associated with their Parliamentary duties.

3.

Each Member shall have, in addition to payments of the Electoral and Sydney Allowance, an account entitled the "Logistic Support Allocation' which shall cover expenditure in the areas of transport (excepting for electorate to Sydney travel), communications, printing and stationery.

4.

The Logistic Support Allocation shall be established and maintained by the Clerks of the Parliament. Members should be advised by the Clerks each month as to the balance of their Logistic Support Allocation

5.

The funds in the Logistic Support Allocation shall only be used by the Member to carry out the purpose for which the allowance is established, but otherwise may, subject to these conditions, manage the funds as he/she thinks appropriate.

6.

Nothing shall prevent the use of the Electoral Allowance for legitimate electorate expenses which might also fall within the categories of expenses covered by the Logistic Support Allocation.

7.

All accounts and Members' claims must be submitted to the Legislature for payment within 60 days of receipt or occurrence of the expense.

8.

All Members' additional entitlements in the nature of fixed allocations and Sydney allowance provided to Members shall be audited annually for compliance. In addition to any internal audit conducted by the Parliament, Members' additional entitlements in the nature of fixed allocations and the Sydney allowance provided to Members shall be the subject of an external audit conducted by the Auditor-General of NSW. The cost of any audit shall be met by the Parliament. Members should ensure they maintain appropriate records of expenditure for the purpose of any audit.

9.

Expenditure is only to be incurred in connection with the Parliamentary duties of Members (and in this respect the Member should refer to the guidelines in this Determination).

10.

The various allowances determined here, as well as the Logistic Support Allocation are for the sole use of the Member and are not to be transferred between Members. The Member may use his/her entitlements to meet official costs of the spouse approved relative and/or staff employed by the Parliament when that expenditure is in connection with official Parliamentary duties.

a)

Each Member of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council shall receive an electoral allowance. The quantum of that allowance shall be fixed in accordance with the electoral grouping for the electorate of the Member.

1.

A Member can choose to receive the Sydney allowance as either an annual fixed allowance or a daily rate.

2.

Where a Member chooses to receive the daily rate of allowance the Member shall receive the overnight daily rate as specified in Table 1 at the `Sydney' or the `transit to and from Sydney' rate as applicable. The Member is entitled to the number of overnight stays per annum specified in Table 1 without the need to substantiate to the Parliament expenses up to the daily rate.

3.

Where the reasonable daily costs exceed the daily rate, full substantiation of daily costs will be required (including tax invoices/receipts).

4.

Where the number of overnight stays is exceeded, documentary evidence of each overnight stay will be required.

5.

When in receipt of the annual allowance Members are required to certify at the end of the financial year the number of occasions they stayed in Sydney and that on each occasion the stay was for Parliamentary business. Members who nominate to receive the annual allowance cannot claim for additional overnight stays in excess of those specified in Table 1.

6.

Members will need to maintain records or other relevant evidence that clearly document the occasions they stayed in Sydney in connection with their Parliamentary duties.

2.

Warrants may be used to meet the cost of using a private motor vehicle or rental vehicle in lieu of electorate to Sydney air travel. The amount to be reimbursed for this purpose is not to exceed the commercial airfare for an equivalent distance flight.

3.

A minimum of one warrant is required to be surrendered for each single journey; a return trip will require the surrender of at least two warrants.

4.

Warrants are not transferable between Members, spouses or approved relatives, or Members' staff.

7.

Members may charter a plane in lieu of travelling on commercial flights provided that travel is for electorate and/or Parliamentary business and that sufficient warrants based on the equivalent commercial cost of each person travelling are surrendered. The cost of Member's spouse or approved relative travelling on the charter is to be met from the Member's Logistic Support Allocation. It is a condition of all air transport charters that the Member responsible for organising the charter obtain a passenger manifest from the charter operator and attach it to the invoice when it is sent for payment.

8.

A Member's air transport bookings for Parliamentary duties are to be made through the booking agent nominated in the NSW government travel contract, for all types of transport covered by the contract. Should the official NSW government travel booking agent not offer a booking service required by a Member for Parliamentary duties, the Member's transport bookings for that service may be made directly with the transport provider.

9.

Benefits accrued by a Member by way of loyalty/incentive schemes such as frequent flyers, as a consequence of the Member using his or her additional entitlements, are to be used only for Parliamentary duties and not for private purposes. Any outstanding benefits of this nature, when the Member ceases to be a Member, are to be forfeited.

Subject to these conditions, each Member shall determine at his/her own discretion the use of the funds within this Account for the purpose and operations specified above.

2.

It is the primary responsibility of Members to ensure that they manage their Logistic Support Allocation Account to ensure that they do not over-expend their budgets. No supplementation of this Allocation will be allowed by the Tribunal. However, the Logistic Support Allocation is not intended to restrict the proper use of the electoral allowance, which may be used to meet any expense referred to in the `purpose and operations' section of this clause.

3.

Members may not use their Logistic Support Allocation to procure goods or services to be used for electioneering purposes or political campaigning.

4.

Any unused funds remaining in the Member's account at the end of the financial year within the four year Parliamentary term shall be carried over to the following financial year. At the end of each 4 year Parliamentary term or the earlier dissolution of the Legislative Assembly, any balance remaining in the Member's account is to be relinquished to the Consolidated Fund.

5.

Accounts will be paid either directly by the Parliament and debited to a Member's account or paid in the first instance by the Member who would then seek reimbursement from the Parliament.

6.

Members must personally authorise expenditure from their Logistic Support Allocation.

Whilst, subject to the further conditions, Members may determine at their discretion the use of the funds available for any purpose and operation specified in this clause, the following table outlines the basis upon which the Tribunal has established the quantum of the account for future assessment. The table shall be used for the future assessment of the Allocation and for particular purposes such as the calculation of additional entitlements for Recognised Office Holders and Shadow Ministers.

11.

It is a condition of all air transport charters that the Member responsible for organising the charter obtain a passenger manifest from the charter operator and attach it to the invoice when it is submitted for payment to the Legislature.

The Tribunal accepts that there will be some private usage in connection with mobile telephones supplied by the Parliament and electronic communication equipment installed at public expense in a Member's principal place of residence. To ensure the Legislature does not pay Fringe Benefits Tax for the private usage of electronic equipment, the Financial Controller will undertake a survey over an appropriate period of time to ascertain public/private percentage use of Members' home telephones.
