The Privileges Committee says politicians should pay for parking

The Privileges and Procedures Committee is supporting an attempt to scrap the perk for States members.

Senator Ted Vibert has asked the States to agree that politicians should not be able to park for free.

He argues that the perk dates back to a time when politicians were not paid and could claim expenses.

The committee says States members should pay to park, but that there must be a dedicated and secure car park where they are guaranteed a space when they are on official States business.
