Who is Paying ?

[grandmoon]

Tony Abbott has embarked on his first overseas trip as prime minister, insisting his talks with Indonesia's leader will cover more than asylum seekers.

Mr Abbott left on Monday morning for a 24-hour visit to the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

The prime minister took Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Trade Minister Andrew Robb and 20 business leaders with him.

While I understand that we are paying for the Politicians and their staff but who is paying for the business leaders. ?

It looked like she stepped onto the plane ahead of him.  Not sure as it was the back of a head I saw as he raised his hand in farewell.
