An MP with any credibility would resign over this. #auspol

A transport Minister who has been relentlessly chastising rail workers for their intolerable behaviour, as well as claiming there's no money for further wage rises, has no problems finding more money and engaging in intolerable behaviour for her personal benefit. A complete grub who should resign

An apology is not good enough. She and her guests should be forced to pay for the petrol and time. Then she should be removed from her senior position.

As soon as they say ‘it was all within the rules’ I would apply a fine tooth comb to their expense declarations. Disappointing the level of entitlement our pollies (and their friends!) believe they have.

$750 for a 13 hour limmo hire is pretty good value...eh?

daryltractor.bsky.social•21 days ago

Very reasonable

I liked the justification that's it's within the rules. Well the rules clearly need tightening

TFW you are helicoptered into a safe inner west Sydders seat from your Central Coast home, but the BronnieChoppie isn't available for your personal jaunts #laborvalues

Apology not enough. Resignation required

Housing Minister Rose Jackson joined her for the jaunt which is cute

...an MP with credibility transparently admits to a lesson to be learned and goes on to lead by example...not surrender to exaggerated pious demands...

I think it was a very silly thing to do. Not as expensive as Bronwyn Bishop’s helicopter ride, but an exercise in arrogance IMO.

Wait until they find out that the lunch was claimed on ex… 😂

First, I’d make her pay for the petrol and then the wages for that day for the Chauffeur. Then I’d kick her arse from here to the winery and back! THIS is where tax payers money goes? 😡

As an alp supporter I think she should resign. I think the optics of this is not acceptable

gail21.bsky.social•21 days ago

Sack her, she knew exactly what she was doing.

lesliee112.bsky.social•21 days ago

All her other claims should be checked
