A Black Maserati with Government plates spotted in Perth

[happy1]

On Friday I spotted a Black Maserati with Government plates driving out of Perth and onto the Freeway South.
It is understandable that the ministers and their official visitors need safe transport, but to me it looks a bit like waste of tax payers money when the Government has fancy vehicles. It also sends the wrong signal regarding (not) supporting Australian manufacturing.

Anyway, the car I spotted on Friday seems to be an approx year 2012 manufacture, so it looks like it was bougth at the top of the boom time in WA.
I guess a Holden Statesman could have been had for 1/3rd of the price.

Cheers
