I think we get that no-one is breaking any rules here; politicians are allowed to claim full travel allowance to stay in their investment properties in Canberra. I am not denying that. But, as the finance minister, do you seriously have no problem with politicians using travel allowance to pay their own mortgages and then come out with a nice hit at the end when they leave parliament? Do you have no issues with that?
