While you are struggling to pay your bills, this is what the Albanese Labor government is spending your money on on:
Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has spent more than $6m on ritzy hotel accommodation around the world in just a few months, including two bookings of $2m each for his pre-COP31 meetings in Fiji which have been panned by critics after a series of high-profile snubs.
Meanwhile, DCCEEW records also disclosed $283,976 for Mr Bowen’s trip to Bonn, Germany, for a booking at Living Hotel Kanzler for just six days from June 7 to 12.
The Daily Telegraph revealed last month Mr Bowen slugged taxpayers more than $340,000 to travel the world to spruik his net-zero ambitions, spending an average of $7500 a day on travel across a grand total of 46 days abroad.
