Minister's Husband Flights Scrutinized
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Cabinet minister Anika Wells faces scrutiny over her use of taxpayer money for flying her husband to sporting events, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. The opposition demands an independent inquiry into her spending, citing instances like charging $1,885 for her husbands return flights to Melbourne for a cricket test in 2022. The government also spent nearly $100,000 sending her to the UN in New York for promoting Australias social media ban. Despite defense from colleagues, critics argue for a higher standard of financial responsibility, especially amidst economic hardship.
