Legislative Assembly Members (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1987

Subject to section 4, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly shall determine and certify for payment the amount which, in the Speaker's opinion, a person referred to in section 2 is entitled to receive in pursuance of that section.

In determining under subsection (1) the amount to which a person is entitled to receive, the Speaker shall ensure, as far as practicable, that it is sufficient to reimburse the person for such out‑of-pocket expenses incurred as the person might reasonably have incurred had he or she been or continued to be a member of the Legislative Assembly.
