This is a Pandora's Box for Tony Abbott!
Abbott claimed expenses to attend charity bike rides and even to attend Sophie Mirabella's wedding. Now the rabbit is out of the bag, he's fair game! Further, guess who else was at that wedding and of course if Bill Shorten now asks her about whether or not she made claims to attend it.
"... Department of Finance documents also show Mr Abbott claimed $349 in travel allowance and $941 for flights to compete in an ironman event in the New South Wales city of Port Macquarie in 2011. ..."

"... If the average Australian wedding costs $36,000, what should taxpayers make of paying almost $20,000 for five Coalition MPs - including Prime Minister Tony Abbott - to attend three weddings? ..."

As for weddings in India and overseas study tours:
"... Gina Rinehart flew three Coalition MPs from Perth to Hyderabad in a private jet, where they watched the granddaughter of her business partner marry in front of 10,000 guests. ..."
"... But Barnaby Joyce, Julie Bishop and Teresa Gambaro collectively claimed more than $12,000 in ''overseas study'' allowances to pay for their flights home. ..."

I wonder what Peter Slipper's view is!
