Credit Cards OK for Civil Service
ACT Leader Richard
Prebble said that giving civil servants credit cards to
pay for expenses is a sensible idea.
"The opposition
party's criticism doesn't appear to me to be rational.
"Of course civil servants as employees do have employee
related expenses. Using credit cards is a cost effective
way of accurate account tracking.
The private
sector has been using credit cards for employee related
expenses for many years. Why shouldn't the civil service
join the modern world?" said Mr Prebble.
