‘What a rort’: Liberal MP taken to task over lavish taxpayer-funded overseas trip

Jacqui Felgate has taken Liberal MP Bev McArthur to task over a lavish taxpayer-funded trip overseas.

Mrs McArthur flew to Europe last June in premium economy, attended meetings on just three days in London and Greenland, before spending 15 days on a luxury cruise in the North Pole.

“I am so sick of politicians constantly wasting taxpayers’ money,” the 3AW Drive Host said.

Press PLAY to hear how much taxpayers were slugged for the trip

“Seriously, in what universe does that pass the pub test?

“If the Liberals want to get elected, this is the kind of crap that has to stop.”
