Mr Briggs
asked the Special Minister of State, in writing, on 30 September 2010:
(1) Since 3 December 2007, what are the names of the ministers who have taken tax-payer funded flights using Frequent Flyer points, and for each of these ministers, (a) on how many occasions did they take such flights, and (b) what was the date, time and destination of each trip.
(2) Since 3 December 2007, how many current ministerial staff have booked tax-payer funded flights using frequents flyer points, and on how many occasions.
Mr Gray (Special Minister of State and Special Minister of State for the Public Service and Integrity)
—The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:
Airlines do not provide information to the Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance) regarding the accumulation and usage of airline loyalty points by Ministers and Members of Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 (MOP(S) Act) employees relating to travel undertaken in the performance of their official duties. Airline Loyalty Points are confined to the relationship between the traveller and the airline. However, every month, Ministers and MOP(S) Act employees are requested to notify Finance of all travel undertaken during the period for which Airline Loyalty Points were used. Ministers and MOP(S) Act employees are not required to provide arrival and departure times relating to these flights.
In addition, the information provided to Finance does not distinguish between Airline Loyalty Points used for entire flights or for upgrades to class of travel.
The attached table lists the Airline Loyalty Points usage of Ministers and their employees between 3 December 2007 and 30 September 2010, as notified to Finance:
