What do you mean frequent flyer points Billy Boy? The $600k would be for accommodation and incidentals. The VIP fleet of three aircraft would cost millions a year just in depreciation let alone running costs. $600k a year might buy the jet fuel but I doubt it.
What about all the other travel related prime ministerial expenses? What about security, intelligence, research, diplomacy? Maintaining an international presence costs serious money. If you really wanted a big number to complain about, tote up all those numbers and see what you get. Personally, I think it is worth every cent and the same goes for past prime ministers as well.
