Jimcross, IMO it's a clear case of one set of expectations for Bronwyn Bishop and a different set for one of the boys in the inner sanctum. Almost $15,000 for four short chopper flights - that would have the folk at Blue Hawaii Flights in the USA turning bright green with envy [as per my earlier post about how much commercial chopper flights cost me].
Meanwhile the people at Heli Flights in Albury who operate 40 minute tours of our region for just $390 [ie. NOT $3,900] must be drooling at the prospect of a visit by Barnaby to NE Vic. http://www.helifly.com.au/joy-flights
IMO a decent person would already have paid the money back and resigned.
IMO it wreaks of the same 'entitlements' mindset applied by a former PM when he replaced a fleet of special Comfleet Holdens with no fewer than NINE $Million armour-plated BMWs for his own personal use wherever he went in Australia.
The man who was too scared to talk to university students to explain his plans for $150,000 HECS debts whose successor appears to be travelling up the same putrid creek while allowing Joyce to pig out on pollie perks while he takes Melbourne trams.
