Congratulations Michelle Landry on new ministerial job, will go down in the anals of hsitory.
Riddle me this, your register of interests says you have a residential unit in Griffith ACT. NB not investment but residential.
Yet you claim travel allowance when in Canberra?
Now Mark Coulton, same for you.
Residential apartment in Canberra, but yet you claim travel allowance when in Canberra?
Now Darren Chester, appears you are doing likewise: apartment in Kingston, ACT (50% residential and 50% investment) and you too appear to claim travel allowance when in Canberra...at 100% rate
While Keith Pitt is doing exactly the same thing at least his property in Canberra is listed as an investment property, not residential.
Albeit his family trust owns it.

I want to belatedly talk about a 14th anniversary which occurred in May.
Cast your minds back to late May 2010.
It was, I believe, the last time an Israeli diplomat was punted from Australia.
The Australian government run by the Labor Political Party (<hi ALP comms team, see what I did there) showed a bit of spine and actually expelled an Israeli diplomat.
Then Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, took that action when our bosom buddies Israel, stole the identities of 4 Australians and forged passports which were then used in the assassination of a Hamas operative.
A funny thing happened on the way to the anti-doxing forum....
Zionist lobby and WhatsApp groups have sought to silence journalists and artists who hold a pro-Palestinian viewpoint.
Albo and Dreyfo's reaction, rather than seeking to rein in the covert influence of these groups, is to rush through anti-doxing laws after the membership lists of said groups were leaked and published.
The Australia Israel Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) itself published a list of 2000 One Nation party members and 200 donors back in July 1998 - via their journal the Australia/Israel Review (the Review).
A few words about the early history of Australian journos and politicians going on junkets funded by various arms of the Israel lobby.
The v good article by @crikey_news in November 2023 (updated mid-Dec 2023) listed the names of various Australian journos and politicians who've gone on relatively recent "journalists' missions" and assorted "fellowships" to Israel
@crikey_news Reading the article I was struck by the many years and decades the Israel lobby has attempted to influence the Australian media and politicians.
