The pendulum swings
Who would ever have guessed? The hypocrisy is astounding.
"Bill Shorten left a Comcar driver waiting in a carpark all day while he attended the most exclusive party at the Melbourne Cup last year, racking up a $1013 bill, adding to his prolific use of the government car service.
The Labor leader, who last month ridiculed government ministers for driving in their “white cars”, outspent all of them in his own taxpayer-funded white car, according to the latest parliamentary expenses update.
Mr Shorten had an AFP security detail on the day he attended the Melbourne Cup and his chauffeur-driven commonwealth vehicle was unable to leave while he and wife Chloe partied in the Birdcage, a string of invite-only venues sponsored by major brands and corporations.
In five months, he spent almost $40,000 on Comcar travel. Malcolm Turnbull spent just over $21,000 in the same period."
""Mr Shorten outspent every government minister — with the highest government charge for Health Minister Greg Hunt, at almost $30,000. Mr Shorten outspent half of the ministers by four times.""
Talk about rorting the system, why are politicians and i believe some government employees able to claim there pension and work, why are they not subject to Centrelink like the rest of us
