MSMWatchdog2013 Meanwhile a HUGE percentage of our Ederly live in poverty. Just disgusting.

MSMWatchdog2013 Why not electric vehicles like Tesla?

MSMWatchdog2013 We the voters need to resist this. There are electric vehicles available that would be suitable for the short runs around Canberra. Hyundai ioniq more than good enough for them.

MSMWatchdog2013 Because apparently the age of entitlement is over... There are still parts manufacturers in Australia and the government should be supporting those jobs!

MSMWatchdog2013 Taxis? Why are politicians being driven to work? A few senior people maybe, but this entitled business of being driven & spending $$ K on plane flight must stop.

MSMWatchdog2013 And what is wrong with the Statesman?

MSMWatchdog2013 Aren't Holden now made in Germany, just like the BMW and Mercedes? So why is the Government upgrading on makes and models to go ultra Luxury, when Holden's are still made? They have been using Holden's up to now. Surely the Luxury choices being considered are way more expensive?

MSMWatchdog2013 Bullshit....should be Electric cars

BREAKING: Federal politicians could soon be chauffeured to jail in a prison van.

HkarterKarter THEY MADE SURE AUSTRALIA WOULDN'T BE MAKING ANY CARS even when they did DID THE AUSTRALIAN GOVT SUPPORT? YES OR NO ? LiberalAus The_Nationals smh abcnews gedkearney sallymcmanus CFMEUJohnSetka

What's wrong with fuel economical MAZDA 3 CHEAPER TO BUY Save our money

These should be called CONCARS because it's us, the taxpayers, being taken for a ride.

Oh please don't follow the affluent customs of some developing countries. Soon you will ask for Z and Z+ security and a corridor of gunmen around you and your families. MPs please don't loose the true identity and character of yourself. Don't forget to be a 'common man'.

dazza50 .bmwau hopefully the takata airbags have been changed 2017 X3 still requires changing grrrrrr not good enough

Of course cause we don't have our own car industry of our own anymore. How about instead of the ridiculous travel rorts. They buy their own bloody car & claim the same travel allowance as tax payers.

Why not support the Australian car industry?

Whose MPs children sell BMW and Mercedes this year?

i hope that in an effort to hit our targets this government goes EV . The failure to do so would stick another nail in sco mo's jolly band of planet warmer deniers.

Disgusting.

maxtrish Smart cars are what they should have,they have ideas above their station that's for sure!

Sugar Babe catchers.

Bolt a few stools onto the back of a Hilux table top and cart them around 10 at a time. Much cheaper and more efficient.auspol

Taxpayers never get a break.

They deserve a Barina

If they have chauffeurs, why Mercs or Beemers? Backseats are what they need to compare...

good bye holden and ford

Of course they will!

You know they only have drivers because they can't be trusted to be alone with their staff.. 🤠🙅‍♀️👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🍼🗞️😭

maxtrish Whatever happened to Abbott's bullet proof BMWs he was touting a couple years ago.. probably got shut-down when Waffles trounced him.

“Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth” not that bit of Christianity ScottMorrisonMP

SBS Imagine if they took public transport to work like the rest of us.....that shit would be world class on time experience of a lifetime travel for everyone.

Cheap. Government don't pay luxury car tax, GST or any other taxes, making BMW and Mercedes Benz cheap.... and make a profit when reselling them 2nd hand.

They’ve done fuck all to earn either a Mercedes or a Hyundai. What’s wrong with the BM’S Scabbott bought just 5 years ago? The cuntry can’t afford politicians on champagne diets while we’re living on lemonade budgets.

Maybe if they took public transport to work they would then fix it up.

Can you please get electric vehicles? billshortenmp tanya_plibersek

Guess we just all just be happy they are posh cars - not helicopters....

“The age of entitlement is over ...” Are they even embarrassed Hockey said this four years ago?

Their 'entitlement' issue knows no bounds.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Cars labor would build....

Please ,do not inform Turkish Prezidency about those cars,we are really underdeveped country trying to manage out our poorly daly expenditures.

All the people whinging in the comments, you are free to run for parliament if you think you could do a better job.

ArchieM00re What? No no no no

If the ALP didn’t destroy the manufacturing industry they might have driven a Holden or Ford!

Could I suggest a shaggin wagon for Nationals MPs?

Should be electric cars.....but then this Govt doesnt believe we need them.....😡😡 auspol MSM

I thought this would be the most suitable car for ScottMorrisonMP's government?

AnthonyCole68 Why not smart cars?

You’ve got to be sh1tting me? How about no.

But leftys wont mind if its bill shitten et al

Why?

AnthonyCole68 Image and status....plain and simple. What wrong with driving an old Holden to work? Look at me I’m important.

AnthonyCole68

AnthonyCole68 Another Budget Emergency.

AnthonyCole68 insanity beyond belief, more taxpayer burden ffs

I have always said that if we want better public transport all elected MP's must be compelled to use it.

Should give them Hyundai Getz or a Suzuki Jimny. They politicians failed big time when losing Car manufacturers to the globalist Obama. Useless is an understatement. SELLOUTS

mikeaubrey2 Because LiberalAus killed Australias car industry! auspol

Give em Toyota Camry or Opal cards

SBS Even with these luxury cars they'll still take chartered helicopters and RAAF planes.

SBS Why can’t they drive own cars, or USE THESE ELECTRIC THINGs, they don’t travel too far, do they 💸💸💸

Luxury or prestige European vehicles are only appropriate for our LNP politicians... it would match their sense of entitlement.

The most corrupt group of people

northway_debbie Now why are they going waste money on BMW and Mercedes. They can import Crown Vics from the US used by the FBI and state federal and local police departments. this is nothing but the corrupt elitist in the LiberalAus.

Why not on tandem bicycles?

What a joke - these elites bleed the Australian tax paying public enough !

jurylady5 Toyota Yaris would work.

Coal fired cars only for the LNP thanks

Jan 14, 2015 - And the hulking BMW armoured car worth at least $500,000 is now carrying Tony Abbott on his daily travels,

How about they buy their own vehicle, with their own money like the rest of us have to.

jurylady5 Are they on a bus route?

Bastards should b in horse drawn chariots. Multi purpose eco friendly and the animal waste can double as comment.

Them vz Us

Waste of our tax money...

SBS Whats wrong with a toyota corolla

I can’t wait to see them catching buses when their sacked. The place is a mess. NBN, Robo Debt farce, mysoginistic wankers, fulltime jobs non existent, no energy policy. My baseball bat is ready, willing and able. Bring on the election.

Aren’t they chauffeured already tho?

What about the good old Holden? Oh, that's right. Tony Abbott had them shut down.

Scott Morrison, maybe this is the reason that Christmas shopping and spending is down?

Perhaps they ought to consider a Chinese manufactured Chinese brand. It would be a productive gesture towards our biggest trading partner and be greatly more cost effective than a BMW or Mercedes.

buy a damn bus.

What's wrong with Corollas?

Unkle_Ken Well there are no more Australian made cars so...

Because they really deserve it given the great job they do ...

Well as we no longer have a local car industry - does it really matter? Just get the best deal all round, make sue the tax payer gets value for money. Not just ✔️✔️to your egos

They should drive themselves to work in Canberra.

Please tell me they are at least electric vehicles

If they had kept to the use of Fords and Holdens for all government vehicles, our car industry would not have folded. Why should these people who are supposed to be working for the public be chauffeured in luxury vehicles.

Seriously does it get any better for them 😡😵 so messed up

Give them Hyundai! 9NewsAUS ScottMorrisonMP

THE AGE OF ENTITLEMENT JUST GOT TURBO-CHARGED!

SBS A sneak peek at ScottMorrisonMP new Prime Ministersmobile.

Why not bicycles? They all look like they need some exercise. Fat lazy and unable to think for themselves.

They should be driving in Australian made cars and support jobs for local businesses. 🇦🇺

Why do they think they ‘need’ luxury cars? Yet another rort wasting OUR money...for themselves, along with the pay rises they keep giving themselves.

Really, foreign cars, not even a Ute? This is unAustralian!
