EN1348 drug & alcohol testing for MPs

EN1348  signatures until 25 March 2020 and you can sign here :- https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1348




  • Reason: Social Services Minister Anne Ruston is considering bringing in drug testing for Newstart recipients. Newstart recipients get tax payer dollar while they look for work. Members of parliament get tax payer dollar working for the community. There should be no real difference between what happens to Newstart recipients and to our elected representatives. Most major corporations throughout the world have some form of drug testing and alcohol testing for their highly paid staff. Generally for the larger companies compulsory testing starts with a salary of $80,000 per annum. Our members of parliament get paid from about $200,000 per annum.and up.
  • Request: We therefore ask the House to institute drug and alcohol testing for members of parliament. Daily while in Canberra and randomly when not in Canberra.
