Description
Former Labor leader Bill Shorten defends Anika Wells amid scrutiny over her travel entitlements, including family trips to ski resorts, Formula One races, and sports finals. Wells has referred her expenses to the parliaments watchdog for transparency, maintaining all claims were within rules. Shorten, who spent over one hundred nights a year away from home, emphasizes the lack of public sympathy for politicians. The opposition demands a broader review of the parliaments travel and expenses system, alleging a potential breach of the ministerial code of conduct.
