From the ABC: A recent chauffeur scandal in NSW prompted an investigation into similar travel perks for politicians across Australia.

The findings revealed varied rules regarding government-provided vehicles and chauffeurs in different states, with some allowing incidental private use while others impose stricter limitations.

States like Queensland and Victoria have fewer regulations and lack transparency on private travel use, while the ACT has no government cars at all, instead providing a car allowance for officials.
