NSW transport minister Jo Haylen has agreed to pay back the cost of a taxpayer-funded driver she used to attend a "long lunch" on the Australia Day long weekend.

The log book show the 446 kilometre trip took the driver 13 hours.

According to the official log book, the 446 kilometre round-trip had the driver travel from Sydney to Ms Haylen's home on the Central Coast and back.

Once on the Central Coast, the driver dropped Ms Haylen and her friends, which included NSW housing minister Rose Jackson, to an upmarket restaurant at Brokenwood Wines in Pokolbin, where they had a three hour lunch.

The chauffeur left from Sydney in a Kia Carnival van at 8am on January 25 and did not clock off until almost 13 hours later, just before 9pm.

But Ms Haylen admitted the large, costly trip did not pass "the pub test" and that use of ministerial drivers for personal use was a "grey area".

If labor had any integrity they would not say personal use is a grey area they would ban it.

She used taxpayers money for a piss up in the Hunter valley

The Ministerial Handbook states private use of the taxpayer-funded vehicles are allowed and are a "fringe benefit" of the position.

What part of this don't you understand?

I’m quite clear with what it means, its Jo Haylen who showed a lack of awareness as she has freely admitted.

Minns is now looking at new laws to ensure that people of limited intellect such as Jo Heylen will be able too understand it and also cut off suggestions that the rort is well spread within his government and stop any discussion of a investigation into other ministers.

Indeed.

I agree with you 100% - it doesn't pass the pub test.

It showed poor judgement.

However, she broke no laws or codes of conduct.

She did not "steal" anything, as you have claimed.

It's not a grey area. Politicians are allowed to use taxpayer funded cars for private functions. It is a fringe benefit of their position.

There is no grey.

It's still a poor decision by her.

I hope that bitch who was running their brothels for them gets raped with a cactus.

Funny to see you defending a thief Greg, I thought you had high morals but here you are defending a common thief who got caught stealing from the very people that voted for her.

Reports of Jo using taxpayers credit card for another piss up in the Blue mountains.

We need to audit log books to see how much rorting is going on.

One must leave.

A full independent investigation of all expense’s of all politicians needs to be held in the public domain.

That usage is perfectly legal.

Nothing has been stolen.

No laws have been broken.

No policies have been breached.

But yeah, it doesn't pass the pub test.

“ Politicians are allowed to use taxpayer funded cars for private functions. ”

Using it to transport your children too Saturday sports because your too hungover to drive them yourself is a breech.

If Minns can’t crack down on his own ministers rorts or what it really is, thieving, he needs to stand aside.

It’s not as if he will be missed in anyway judging his failure in government so far.

Corrected text: "Using it to transport your children to Saturday sports because you're too hungover to drive them yourself is a breach."

Really?

Show us where it says that in the Ministerial Handbook.

But its stealing from the voters and taxpayers, its not the taxpayers job to provide money for her to hire drivers to take her friends out on drunken road trips. Its dishonest, its breaching the trust of the people, its unethical, its immoral and its just plain wrong.
