Petition Action

The taxpayer must not pay legal fees for politicians who are called to justice.

Petition Details

Government funds belong to tax payers. They must not be used to pay legal fees for politicians who are called to justice in the courts.

Additional Information

Tax payers should not be expected to pay legal fees of politicians who are called to justice. Instead political parties and / or individuals must pay for their defence costs and other fees. There is no other walk of life in which this practice would be permitted and it must be stopped.
