| Subject: OZschwitz: Parasitical ALP racks up extravagant $2M for air travel Sat May 16, 2009 7:13 pm | |
| THE Prime Minister and 21 of his frontbenchers racked up $2 million on international trips in an extravagant take-off from Australian shores over last year's winter parliamentary break.
The frenzy of overseas travel - ministers, family, staff and departmental officers travelling first and business class and staying in classy hotels - was undertaken between late June and mid-August.
It took eight months for ministers to answer questions on notice from Opposition MPs on their winter travels, despite a parliamentary requirement that responses be provided in 30 days.
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard travelled with an entourage of four to the US, Britain and Singapore for more than a fortnight, at a total cost of $158,246.50.
Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon spent 13 days in the US with two staff and three departmental officers, discussing "current military operations". The two-week trip came in at more than $143,500.
