Title: How does Albo boss Don Farrell avoid IPEA?

“ Trade Minister Don Farrell topped the list of spending, at $48,178”

“ABC

If Don can travel to Ayres rock to enjoy a Twilight dinner with his wife and back at taxpayer expense why hasn’t he referred himself to the IPEA and as he has no intention to why doesn’t Albo refer him himself?

Or is one rule for Albos women and another for labor men?

“On Sunday, Treasurer Jim Chalmers conceded there was community concern about the entire entitlements debate.

“I understand that there’s a lot of community concern about this, I think we all understand that, we all get that,” he told Sky News.

We must protect Dan Farrell from being investigated because he is the faceless man who has put us all in our positions.

Let’s continue to throw the  labor women under the bus.

They are expendable “


Quote may be added to by myself to explain what his trying to say truthfully.

There needs to be a change to the rules for travel so that MP's and Senators can only claim official travel and ONE family reunion each sitting period and only for domestic travel, not international. If they wish to have a reunion including international travel or business class seats, they must pay for it out of their own pocket. Also, all travel should be in premium economy or economy only, not business class. If MP's or Senators wish to fly business class, then that's fine but they must pay the difference out of their own pocket and if they wish to have additional family reunions during a sitting period, it must be paid for out of their own pocket.

These MP's and Senators are not poor. The base salary is more than $233,000 per year (more if you're a Minister), so if they want the extra comfort or international flights for their family then they can pay for it themselves.
