‘TONY Abbott has decided to bunk with Australian Federal Police recruits in a $120-a-night flat while renovations are conducted at the possum-infested prime ministerial residence The Lodge…
Perhaps most importantly for the fitness fanatic, the student quarters also include an impressive gym…
Mr Abbott rejected the other options on offer: a $3,000 a week dress circle rental in the nation’s capital. Mr Abbott currently stays at the five-star Hotel Realm….’

‘Julie Bishop also rejects the high-living ways of the previous Labor government – the party of the working class:
Incoming foreign minister Julie Bishop has already clashed with her department over luxury hotel accommodation on an upcoming trip to New York.

    Like a breath of fresh air isn’t it.

    Can you imagine kevin07 doing such a thing, if we were stupid enough to reelect him (mind you plenty of us are), he would be jetting around the world right now, off with his entourage of a 100 or so, flying first class baby, chomping on fine steaks or something.

    Let’s hope this is just the start of the Abbott government derailing the gravy train.

    I was hoping before the election TA would be Aussies answer to Reagan. So far so good. Like your newer posts highlight: Merit.

    An older bloke I talked to the other night reckons it’ll still take at least five years to come right. Just need to hold that instant grat/juvenile voter base back for a couple more election cycles.
