Govt double standards over mileage rates paid to MPs

A home care worker's calling the government out for alleged double standards over mileage rates paid to MPs. Earlier this month, home and community support workers were given a temporary "boost'' to their mileage rates - from 63.5 cents to 82.5 cents per kilometre. Relief teachers also received a similar increase. But the amount politicians can claim for using their private vehicles for work purposes is considerably higher. Tamara Baddeley spoke to Lisa Owen.
