Senior Liberal James Paterson says he would support a broad inquiry into all politician travel and any perks they may have received.
All federal members of parliament are offered membership to the exclusive Qantas Chairman's Lounge program, and nearly all accept it.
Qantas has exclusive lounges in almost all its capital city airports, which are hidden behind a door marked "private" located near the Qantas Club and business class lounges.
Members are provided additional perks including priority booking and a customer service hotline for rapid support.
MPs are also offered free upgrades to business class or first class when available — though upgrades on international flights are generally rarer because those seats are typically already booked out by paying customers.
The perks are generally similar to those offered to "platinum one" frequent flyers, with the exception of the exclusive lounge, a status symbol for Australia's elite.

as I've been saying, the upgrades are not unusual for politicians. that is ALL POLITICIANS.

this beat up by Joe Aston is simply in keeping with his job at AFR as an opinion write who is strongly pro-Liberal/anti-Labor.

If that is indeed the case Ratboy, it's nice to see the inbred Alp greens etc getting a bit of their own bullshit right back at them.
