I just love it when the new broom does some overdue sweeping.
Yesterday the Rudd Government announced that it is introducing changes to Parliament to cut politicians' printing allowances from $150,000 to $100,000.
It is also proposing to stop MPs from stockpiling their funds for election campaigning.
Finally, we might see an end to those useless fridge calendars sent out during the first year of the election cycle and a reduction in those equally useless letters claiming credit for other b*ggers efforts sent out in the last two years before the next election.
Stifling a local MP's urge to print rubbish might save a tree or two as well.
A win-win for us all.
