Am i bit strange to think that if person is doing something for charity or is supposedly volunteering they do it in their own time and at their expense?
Tony Abbott claims to be a friend of Indigenous Australians, regularly spending time in their communities “volunteering”. This is an enormously expensive lie. That is an insult to all the people who really do volunteer and give freely their time.

That hardly seems fair.. my son volunteered to assist in building a school in a remote PNG area..... he had to pay his own plane and helicopter fare... take his own food and supplies, tools etc........... and then trek out again on foot, a days walk.
"Why is everyone only focusing on the LNP claims? I hear that there are lots of labor pollies that also have paid back claims? "
They are all under scrutiny. But TA is the Prime Minister and should be morally above "not being clear what he is entitled to" and because the LNP battered Slipper out of Parliament for doing what they were all doing. Don't also forget that the money was paid back 7 Years later because he got questioned by journalists, not because he thought he had done the wrong thing.
