You might want to see about daily overseas travel allowance being paid at the same rate as AMEs.
That's a good point. Around 7 or 8 years ago, as an AME delegate, we presented a claim for the AME's to be paid the same allowance as LAME's when seconded interstate, arguing that we eat at the same restaurants, stay at the same hotels and have our uniforms/clothes cleaned at the same dry cleaners. The response back was they would increase the domestic allowance to that of LAME's as long as we accepted a reduction in the international allowance to that of LAME's.....
