So this is Michael Smith News reporting, isn't it?

Two of Tony Abbott's most high-profile ministers claimed thousands of dollars in taxpayer entitlements for attending the wedding of close friend and Sydney shock jock Michael Smith.

Federal Attorney-General George Brandis and Nationals deputy leader Barnaby Joyce billed taxpayers nearly $3000 for flights, hire cars and incidental expenses incurred on the trip, according to travel expenses lodged with the Department of Finance.

It was a little less than two years ago and Smith had just left 2UE radio after a falling out over his attempt to raise allegations about former prime minister Julia Gillard's past relationship with a union official and misappropriation of funds.

The shock jock did not have a best man. But Senator Brandis, then one of the Abbott opposition's lead attack dogs, and Mr Joyce spoke at the event.
