TYPICAL, of
News Crap
's "opiate for the masses" style of blogging - where you really have to scour through the small print to get to the truth



Quote:
The prominent South Australian's costs included $85,000 to attend environmental summits and to visit Syrian refugee camps,
News Crap
reported on Friday morning. a

From the time of her appointment in 2008 until December 2014, the senator reportedly claimed a total of around $970,000 in travel expenses.

The report said the sum included her travel allowance, family costs, car costs, domestic fares and charter and overseas claims.




At first glance - you could be forgiven foot thinking that's a HELL of a lot of plane tickets in a year - as I did

And this is EXACTLY what
News Crap
want you to think

Of course, it's SIX years - not ONE - despite what
News Crap
try to tacitly imply

HOWEVER, on close examination it seems the quoted dollar figure was not an annual figure - but spread over SIX years - and it did not include helicopters or military aircraft

And was NOT a million bucks in airline tickets
Travel allowances for politicians are far more complex that

I'd challenge
News Crap
to publish the collective travel dollar figure - covering the last six years - for every other politician in the country

Of course. the right-wing media and right-wing of politics HATE her
- and will jump on any opportunity to discredit her

She's a strong campaigner for the environment - and renewable energy
An advocate for displaced persons
And she's a strongly opinionated woman

Everything the
"right"
detests

She's just another Miss Piggy with her snout in the trough.

GREENS Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has defended spending more than $3500 in taxpayer funds on a whale watching trip for her and her daughter, saying she was just doing her job.


The South Australian Senator has admitted to charging the September trip to the Great Australian Bight — where she guzzled oysters, took selfies, and spotted dozens of whales — to the public.

While it seems to be too much it is over a number of years and the only example given does look to be 100% legitimate.

Many of the main stream politicians spend a heap on their yearly travel and it is often for disguised holidays justified by transparent reports.



if you look at Fraser Annings trip to Perth..

remember he has only been there since 2017 and did only get 19 votes....

you will see he made his reasons up for being there....

he even takes his family...

this guy was almost made bankrupt....now hes one of the dodgy bros.. Angry


I don't think anyone supports any of them.

Well most of them.

Plenty argued in support of us paying for Tony Abbott's jetting around the country on a personal book tour and accommodation and meals on his many personal bike rides.



well I dont know about that...but I am sure your side did an incredible  attack on him...they are still doing it.. its anew one on me?   what year was that?...

dont forget its not just the travel lurks  its the freebee trips they get from countries looking for a quick way in....and yes labor have been well and truly amongst that rort....

we can go on all day if you like...

And this is the core point here. The comparison is wilfully misleading.

$970,000 in travel expenses


Much blah blah blah blah

And then the concealed print that takes a while to find:

travel expenses over six years

Labor did bugger all in their 6 years..

Morrison is the PRIME MINISTER.

Why are you so goddamn blind to the do-nothing Liberals? The Liberals are doing nothing, they're the current government, they have been in government for 16 out of the last 22 years, and your response? Blame Labor.

No wonder nobody takes your frothy-mouthed pro-Liberals bias seriously. You just CANNOT see how much of a lazy, do-nothing, good-for-nothing mob they are!

Be nice to the poor girl

This sort of crap from Liberal party supporters is one reason why the Liberals have a real problem with women. How can the Liberal party attract good female candidates if their supporters freely denigrate women like this?

It’s okay Bobby, and leave her alone. She is a Green, of the left and therefore beyond question and criticism. This is only bad if someone of the right does it.


Does what exactly....Until someone can point out what SHY did that was wrong I cannot see an issue here....SHY spent less in 6 years than Susan Ley spent in one year....Yet you say nothing about the Coalition who are by far and away the biggest spenders of taxpayer money on themselves....Dickhead!!!

Indeed.
