Hanson and Joyce bill taxpayers for flights to private events on luxury cruise ship hosted by Rinehart
One Nation MPs Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson billed taxpayers over $3,000 for flights to fundraising events on a luxury cruise ship owned by Gina Rinehart. Parliamentary records indicate that the travel expenses claimed were for private events, which typically do not qualify for taxpayer funding. The events included a private lunch with business leaders and an auction to raise funds for One Nation.
- ▪Hanson and Joyce attended fundraising events on The World, a luxury cruise ship.
