travel rorter at it again

[wilk1149]

Once again the PM, who by the way has already had to pay back $11000 in misclaimed travel rebate is off doing apparent legitimate political stuff so we can pay for him to do what he really wants

What?

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott, who called into the Geelong Advertiser today, has confirmed he will start in the Cadel Evans People’s Ride.

You mean this? When he did a nanosecond of  official business on the way there?

Suggest you get your facts right.

He has been to a number of places in the last few days.

[wilk1149]

Fact is he's a known travel rorter so any little BS visit he makes up to cover it isn't really legitimate

[cherry*135 · Accepted solution]

vicr - It;s not the fact that he has been to other places, its the fact that these places he visits are at the same time he has a private gathering/function etc to attend.

He hasn't been in the area he was in the last couple of days for 10 years.. coincidence he has a bike race at same time?

Stop defending the indefensible aps, the man is a WOFTAM.

Suggest you get your facts straight and stops taking artial quotes from the story.

No PM has been in Colac for 10 years, Abbott has been in the Geelong and surrounds plenty of times.

The RAAF Aircraft are for his use, paid for whether they fl or not.

If I go on business to Qld or NT, I make sure I do other things as well, including personal.

Is it at the tax payers expense while you claim that there's no money to waste

While you're bringing up past PM's entitlements . Can you also post John Howard's as well so we can compare them?

They get too much imo
