Hey @ipeaAusGov

I've just been double-checking @mattjcan's expenses for Oct-Dec 2021

Senator Canavan has claimed Travel Allowance of $1332.00 for 4 nights 'Parliamentary Duties' 5 Dec 21 to 8 Dec 21

&
Unscheduled Transport $1075.67 4 Dec 21 to 13 Dec 21

Senator Canavan was in Newcastle on 7 Dec 2021

Same day, there was a Select Committee on Job Security hearing in Newcastle.

Senator Canavan is Deputy Chair of the Job Security Select Committee

But Senator Canavan didn't attend that hearing

As a Senator from Queensland, and no longer a Minister, Senator Canavan would not have 'Parliamentary Duties' outside of QLD

Except, if he actually attended the Senate Select Job Security hearing, that would constitute 'Parliamentary Duties', but he didn't

So, my question @ipeaAusGov is what 'Parliamentary Duties' was Senator Canavan performing in Newcastle, NSW from 5-8 Dec 2021?
