Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, Anthony Albanese—no-one's getting an inch here, by the way—billed taxpayers $17,000 in travel allowance to stay in his Canberra flat while Sydney was in lockdown last year. He says he has no plans to change the rules either; he doesn't see a need to. I just wanted to clarify this: to the best of your knowledge, the Liberal Party, the Nationals and the Labor Party are on a unity ticket because of their own sense of self-entitlement when it comes to claiming this money from the taxpayer.
