‘Terrible look’: Bridget McKenzie reportedly failed to declare free flight upgrades

How many flight upgrades has ministers office staff received……? and how many do senior public servants get who are heads of agencies?…..

[@iankearns774]

Senior pollies should be flying business class, thats a no brainer but should fund a % of that themselves and declare it. The taxpayer has always paid for them to travel doing their work but its the taxpayer funded upgrades thats the issue. They are not on.

This is why I want this country to do away with preferential voting. I despise both major parties as much as each other and both of them have done equally evil things to make my life vastly more difficult than it should be. That being the case, I do not want my vote going to the coalition because I put them third last on my ballot, only above Labor and the Greens.

Your vote will still go to the LNP, I get what you are saying but the two big parties are so entrenched. Would need deep pockets and a big personality to change the status quo there. No one like that exists here at the moment.

[@vincentburrowes9243]

My Opinion - Easiest way to fix this Qantas Captains Lounge problem - All politicians (including the sanctimonious LNP) must fly cattle class to stay connected with their working class constituents. The working class who pay most of the tax in this country will then receive much better value for their tax dollars. All News Limited Journalists must fly accompanied by a first Nations Person so they can understand injustice firsthand! Qantas should then give complementary seats to the working class - so they better understand the problems of the well to do!

[@letsgetreal-df7pu]

Yep!

[@iankearns774]

I have seen first hand Indigenous people put into brand new housing commission homes only for them to rip the floorboards up and build a fire in the middle of the loungeroom, Granted that was back in the 1970's but it happened. They have a life expectancy double what they had prior to the Brits arriving and from what I have seen most urban indigenous have done pretty well for themselves off their free University and low interest housing and car loans. Yes there are many out in the bush struggling but it is a generational thing, if they adopt a western lifestyle their kids will be better off. We cant go back to the stone age, it can never happen. They need to modernise or they will die out.

[@destinyangel5]

Mackenzie is easily led . She has loads of form for this sort of thing . The approvals she signed off on shooting club sport rorts 2020 just terrible and she stepped down from her position when she was being exposed and caught out. Unfortunately it seems , rorts are a priority and a motivation for some members of the public services and their priority is clearly and obviously not the the public they are meant to serve. Many politicians on both sides we see through instant news today are in the job for their own selfish interests and deliberately try and rort during their careers to further benefit life after politics in addition to the very generous gravy train of perks they already get for life from the taxpayers. There needs to be tougher penalties for these people.
