THE SLIPPER TAXI FILES

The Cabcharge dockets Peter Slipper says he lled out and what former adviser James Ashby says about the MPs use of them
FROM JAMES ASHBYS COURT DOCUMENT
On 27 January 2012, the Applicant (Ashby) was required, as part of his duties, to travel with the Second Respondent (Slipper) in Sydney. The Second Respondent travelled in a vehicle that was not a Commonwealth Car, was not obviously a taxi cab, and which did not have a meter or any other form of charge device and which did not display in any way obvious to the Applicant that the vehicle was one for hire or reward. The Second Respondent told the Applicant that he was being picked up by a friend. During the journey, the Second Respondent asked the driver words in or to the effect of How many cabcharges do you require? The driver replied Three. At the end of the journey, the Second Respondent signed three vouchers but did not otherwise ll in any details, and handed them to the driver.

Again, the Applicant was forced to witness the Second Respondent sign multiple cabcharge vouchers without any details being completed, and witness the Second Respondent hand them to the driver.
