As the expenses affairs continues to roll through the Albanese government like a wrecking ball, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland will repay some of the $21,685 she charged for a family holiday in Western Australia in 2023.
This follows advice on Friday from the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) that a portion of the spending breached the official guidelines.
But the government is resisting any suggestion she should quit her post. Asked on Sunday whether Rowland should resign, Treasurer Jim Chalmers told Sky, “I don’t believe so. I think Michelle’s done the right thing in asking the IPEA to take another look.”
