Remove alcohol subsidies and implement drug & alcohol testing in parliament. — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
The government should remove the subsidies on alcoholic beverages consumed in parliament buildings. There should also be random breathalysers and drug tests carried out on all parliamentary workers and a record of these made public, failing a drug test should result in a police investigation.
It is scandalous that elected public servants are allowed to have alcoholic drinks subsidised by the tax payer. They are responsible for making decisions on behalf of thousands of their constituents and many have to represent us on the world stage, this should be done without the influence of alcohol or drugs. 11/12 bathrooms were found to have traces of cocaine in them in 2021, any other workplace would do random drug tests, why should our elected officials get away with breaking the law?
