Opponents of a Voice to parliament frequently label its backers as elitist, out of touch, Canberra bubble types.
But we can think of few things more elitist and Canberra than Country Liberals senator and leading No campaigner Jacinta Nampijinpa Price billing taxpayers $76,509.19 for 76 business-class flights between her election last May and July 2023.
Her predecessor, Sam McMahon, was frequently parliament’s biggest spender on travel and accommodation.
But not even McMahon, who racked up about $18,000 worth of airline bills in her last nine months as a senator (the only data still publicly available) spent as much as Price on air tickets.
