What's the bet she negatively gears it? Maybe she decided to reward herself after slashing a couple of hundred million off the public dental scheme.

Combined with her travel expenses, it's a  pretty bad look when lots of people have been getting letters from Centrelink over Christmas. why they chose to do that over Chrstmas I don't understand.  I hope all the pensioners have read the story.

The purchase was made in May 2015....it has no bearing on anything Centrelink did in December 2016.

But it's only been revealed recently... To me it has a distinct bearing as it shows how differently our politicians live in comparison to the rest of us

And how nice it would be if we could claim this for expenses...

Ms Ley had the fourth highest expenditure during the period of the purchase — from January 1 to June 30, 2015 — including more than $105,000 on charter flights and $11,800 on family travel costs.

In total, she claimed almost $650,000 over the six-month period.
