TRAVEL BENEFITS AFFORDED FORMER MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13

1. Authority for preparation and publication

Section 5.3 of the Members Entitlements’ Handbook provides that former Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly who have served requisite periods of service shall (together with the former Member’s spouse or approved relative, or in certain cases widow or widower), be eligible to certain travel entitlements.

Section 1.3.1 of the Members' Entitlements Handbook requires that the Clerk of the Parliament prepare an Annual Report to the Parliament which contains the name of each person who has accessed travel entitlements pursuant to section 5.3 of the Handbook, and the total travel cost incurred by the Parliament for each former Member including, where applicable, spouse (or approved relative or in certain cases widow or widower) travel costs.

2. Process of Compilation

To compile this Report the Parliamentary Service identified the travel costs incurred by the Parliament on behalf of each former Member and their spouse or approved relative. Each former Member was provided with a report detailing their travel for confirmation prior to tabling the consolidated Report. For completeness, the Report includes the name of each eligible former Member irrespective of whether or not the Parliament has incurred travel costs during the reporting period.

In the case of widow or widowers of eligible former Members, there were no costs incurred by the Parliament in the reporting period 2012-13. As a result, no entries appear for widows/widowers in this Report.

3. Notes regarding financial information reported

3.1 Costs are presented on an accrual basis

Amounts recorded in the Report relate to the cost to the Parliament of travel undertaken during the period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013.

Under certain circumstances, travel undertaken during the reporting period may not be paid for in the same reporting period. For instance, travel undertaken in June may not be paid until July due to account processing timeframes. This Report has been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting to remove these inconsistencies. As a result, this Report presents costs associated with all travel undertaken during the reporting period, irrespective of whether it has actually been paid for at reporting date.

3.2 Nature of costs incurred

Costs incurred may be associated with commercial air travel and/or rail travel:

3.2.1 Commercial Air Travel

The Parliamentary Service coordinates all air travel bookings on behalf of eligible former Members and/or spouses and processes all payments for travel costs incurred by the Parliament.

Reported air travel costs reflect the net cost to the Parliament of all air commercial air travel undertaken, including airfares and any applicable travel agent or airline booking fees.

3.2.2 Rail Travel

The Parliamentary Service coordinates all non-metropolitan rail bookings on behalf of eligible pass holders, and processes all payments for travel costs incurred by the Parliament.

Reported rail travel costs fall under two categories:

a) Costs incurred by the Parliament for rail passes:-

. Queensland Rail periodically issues rail passes to each eligible former Member, their spouse or approved relative and in certain cases widow or widower of former Members.

. The Parliament pays an annual fixed fee to Queensland Rail for each eligible former Member that elects to be provided with a pass. This annual fee entitles the former Member to access rail travel covered by the respective type of rail pass.

. Some former Members elect not to be provided with a pass and so no cost is incurred by the Parliament.

. For 2012-13, the (GST exclusive) cost of each annual rail pass per former Member was -  Railways of Australia Pass ($272.73)  Queensland Rail Pass ($90.91)

. Where former Members are provided with a rail pass, the annual pass fee is payable to Queensland Rail irrespective of whether or not rail travel benefits are actually accessed.

. Note the Parliament does not pay an annual fixed fee for associated spouse/widow/widower passes. Queensland Rail issues these passes at no cost to the Parliament.

b) Costs incurred by the Parliament for rail travel not covered by rail passes:-

. Eligible former Members (and/or spouses, widows or widowers) may also undertake a limited number of additional interstate rail trips each year not covered by the Queensland Rail pass.

. Where eligible former Members (and/or spouses, widows or widowers) undertake additional interstate rail travel not covered by the Queensland Rail gold pass, the Parliamentary Service directly meets the actual cost of rail travel incurred.

Expenditure for air and rail travel (including spouse travel where applicable) is consolidated in the Report as a single amount for each eligible former Member.
