Why single out SHY it looks like her travel was to go to environmental meetings and refugee camps, she seems to have filled out the paper work incorrectly.

Why not mention all the others who have had to pay back money ?

Liberal senator David Johnston, a former barrister last year dumped as defence minister, has held out on repaying $1550.07 for 2074 days

Liberal senator Anne Ruston cleared a $3579.12 debt

Labor’s Nova Peris cleared three debts, including $1800 outstanding for 314 days;

Also worth mentioning:

Senator Johnston had previously come under fire over $6384 spent entertaining industry chiefs and foreign dignitaries in Perth and Adelaide.

Bronwyn Bishop’s use of taxpayer-funded helicopter charters for Liberal fundraisers

Labor’s Tony Burke to take his children on official trips since 2010.

Because she is the first to shout from the rooftops about "travel rorts"

It seems the stones she cast came back and hit her right between the eyes

The travel she is paying back looks to be legitimate a rare occasion where it could be an error or honest mistake.

I would think that travelling to refugee camps and environment meetings would be legitimate travel ?

If it was legit travel and claim then she is not required to pay it back

She's required to pay back almost $9K i.e. it was not a legit claim
