"The mainstream media in Australia love to highlight our politicians’
travels abroad as though they’ve uncovered corruption."

Yes, this is an annoying media staple that does nothing to help our
political system function.  There are genuinely newsworthy cases where
politicians have abused taxpayer funds, and constantly crying wolf about
justified expenses is unhelpful.

Cheers,
