Trevor,
I feel your pain!! My wife and I are under the same sort of circumstances and I must say that the decision STINKS!!
Without getting into a political debate, that will bore people.
Our pollies have an living away from home allowance.
It's tax free, unlike the matter that you raised (that will cost you)
And it's still given, even though a pollie may own a dwelling in the A.C.T that they could use.
The loop hole is that it's not marked as their principle place of residence!!!
And...........guess what? They don't want to change the rules regarding all this!!!
What a surprise!!! Again it's the little person, that cops it in the neck!!!
