The prime minister has asked for advice on former MPs entitlements following reports millions of dollars had been spent subsidising travel for retired politicians over the last decade.
In 2025, it cost around $1.5 million dollars while this year's Budget set aside $1.6 million for the scheme, according to The Press.
Media reporting in recent days also showed the government had been spending around $300,000 per year to provide Crown limousines to some former prime ministers and their spouses.
