3.2 A senator or member of the House of Representatives for an electoral division the area of which is less than 300,000km2 is, upon request, to be provided with a private plated vehicle that is not generally made available by the Commonwealth for the purposes of clause 3.1 but which is made available by the Commonwealth for the purposes of this clause. Despite anything else in this Determination, the following amount (the ‘excess lease cost’) is to be applied in accordance with clause 3.3:

A – B

where

A = the cost, per annum, of the lease of the vehicle

B = the cost, per annum, of the lease of the most expensive vehicle made available by the Commonwealth for the purposes of clause 3.1.

3.3 The excess lease cost is to be applied in accordance with the following method:

a. first, to reduce one of the following amounts:

i. the amount applicable in subsection 14(1) of the PBR Regulations for the senator or member;

ii. the electorate allowance determined in clause 2.8 for the senator or member; and

b. if that amount is reduced to zero—to reduce the other amount.

3.7 If one or more additional vehicles are provided then, despite anything else in this Determination, the cost of the lease, per annum, of the additional vehicle is to be applied in accordance with the following method:

a. first, to reduce one of the following amounts:

i. the amount applicable in subsection 14(1) of the PBR Regulations for the senator or member;

ii. the electorate allowance determined in clause 2.8 for the senator or member; and

b. if that amount is reduced to zero—to reduce the other amount.

3.9 The provision of a private plated vehicle includes the provision (by the Commonwealth) of the costs of operating and maintaining the vehicle.

3.10 A private plated vehicle is provided for non‑commercial purposes only.

Note: Paragraph 47(2)(a) of the PBR Act provides for the Remuneration Tribunal to impose limits and other conditions on remuneration including the provision of private plated vehicles.

Allowance instead of the provision of a private plated vehicle: PBR Act, paragraph 14(4)(b)

3.11 If a senator or member of the House of Representatives, by notice to the relevant Department, elects not to be provided with a private plated vehicle pursuant to clause 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, an allowance of $19,500 per annum (known as ‘additional electorate allowance’) is payable to the senator or member.

3.12 If a senator or member makes an election under clause 3.11, the senator or member is not to be provided with a private plated vehicle under clause 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 until at least 12 months after making the election. Upon the provision of the vehicle, the additional electorate allowance ceases to be payable.

3.13 An election has no effect if:

a. the senator or member has been provided with a particular vehicle under clause 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 for less than 12 months; or

b. the Commonwealth would incur administrative or other expenses (for example, lease cancellation fees) as a result of ceasing to provide a private plated vehicle and the senator or member has not reimbursed the Commonwealth for those expenses.

3.14 Upon making an election, the senator or member is no longer to be provided with a vehicle under clause 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5.

3.15 The following expenses are payable to a senator or member of the House of Representatives in relation to his or her private residence or residences:

c. if the senator or member is a Chief Government Whip or Chief Opposition Whip in the House of Representatives or the Senate—the cost of an additional telephone service for a private residence of the person not in Canberra and the cost of an additional telephone service for a private residence of the person in Canberra.

3.16 In clause 3.15, the cost of a service includes installation, maintenance, rental, transfer and call and data costs.

3.17 In clauses 3.15 and 3.16, “service” means a telephone service (including VoIP), an internet service, or a service under which a telephone service and an internet service are provided under the one contract, and does not include a streaming or similar service.

PART 4 – ALLOWANCES AND EXPENSES OF FORMER MEMBERS

Post‑retirement travel expenses

4.1 For section 15 of the PBR Act, the expenses in clause 4.2 or 4.2A, whichever applies, are determined for persons who become former members after the commencement of this Determination and are not persons to whom item 1 of the table in subsection 10(1) of the Parliamentary Retirement Travel Act 2002 applies (certain former Prime Ministers).

a. trips between the person’s home base and Canberra; or

b. trips between the person’s home base and the place of any office provided to the person as a senator, a member of the House of Representatives, a Minister or an office holder.

4.2.2 A person may exchange one or more of the three fares that would otherwise be paid under clause 4.2.1 for a private vehicle allowance, if they make the same return trip in a private vehicle. If a person exchanges a fare for a private vehicle allowance, the expenses are either:

a. a private vehicle allowance for the return trip, calculated at the rate prescribed in clause 6.1, or

b. the amount of the fare that is being exchanged,

whichever is lower.

a. trips between the person’s home base and Canberra; or

b. trips between the person’s home base and the place of any office provided to the person as a member of the House of Representatives.

4.2A.2 A person may exchange one or more of the four fares that would otherwise be paid under clause 4.2A.1 for a private vehicle allowance, if they make the same return trip in a private vehicle. If a person exchanges a fare for a private vehicle allowance, the expenses are either:

a. a private vehicle allowance for the return trip, calculated at the rate prescribed in clause 6.1, or

b. the amount of the fare that is being exchanged,

whichever is lower.

4.3 Where a trip is on a service that provides for more than one class of passenger travel, expenses are determined only for a trip in economy class.

4.4 Expenses are not payable for trips taken by a person other than the former member.

4.5 Terms in clauses 4.1 to 4.4 that are defined in the PBR Regulations have the same meaning as in those Regulations.

Multiple entitlements

4.6 To avoid doubt, expenses to which clause 4.2 and 4.2A refer are determined in relation to each occasion on which a person becomes a former member.

Resettlement allowance

4.7 For section 15 of the PBR Act, the allowances mentioned in Table 4.7 are determined for a person who is a former member and:

ii. the person nominated for re‑election and was not declared elected (for this purpose, it does not matter whether the person sought re‑election to the same, or a different, House of Parliament, or for the same, or a different electoral division or State); and

b either:

i. the person was first elected before 9 October 2004, and is not entitled to a retiring allowance under the Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Act 1948 upon ceasing to be entitled to a parliamentary allowance by reason only of section 22DC of that Act (deferral of retiring allowance); or

ii. the person was first elected on or after 9 October 2004 and declares in writing to the Clerk of the relevant House of Parliament that it is his or her intention to seek employment.

However, if the member does not produce to the Administrator a receipt for accommodation given to the member by the accommodation provider, or provide certification to the Administrator that such a receipt can be produced upon request and does not subsequently provide such a receipt when requested, the accommodation is taken to be non‑commercial accommodation.

PART 6 – PRIVATE VEHICLE ALLOWANCE

6.1 For subsection 31(2) of the PBR Act, the rate of the allowances prescribed in sections 12, 27 and 28 of the PBR Regulations is 85 cents per kilometre.

Amending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history.

The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.

The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.
