    Why do politicians expect this right, it's time these kind of rorts were abolished. When someone leaves a job, that is it, unless of course you were a politician. It kind of clarifies the term " Snout in the trough" much more graphically does it not.

    Absolutely obscene! Get rid of these rorts. They are paid enough!
