Absolutely it's hypocrisy, the thing is they all do it to degrees and they're all in love with their "Entitlements".

I've read of several pollies over the years, on all sides, when called out on spending or claiming expenses, their defence is that "they're entitled to it".

Just because policy allows you to claim something, and your claim might be within the policy, doesn't make it right. They're all a bunch of self entitled wankers and Albo is rapidly becoming the king. If I hear him bust out his growing up in a housing commission flat with a disabled single mum spiel one more time he deserves to be put on one of those C17's and dropped in Bass Strait.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Entitlements are part of many jobs. As long as you declare it and be upfront it's legitimate. Albo declared everything and everyone's pissed because he got the upgrades. He buys a house and everyone's pissed because he can. He earns $600k and buys a 5 million dollar house and everyone is up in arms. If I was earning that much I would be doing the same. I am going to buy a new car cause I can but heaven forbid people find out as there's a so-called "cost of living" crisis. We have a lot of lazy people who are simply jealous of anyone who earns and has more than they do. I get it; the media lap it up, which is their bread and butter. One only has to switch to MSM to listen to or watch the rubbish they put up. As far as I am concerned the PM is paid unders if you compare what the CEO's of Major banks are earning and the benefits they receive. Will this rubbish make people vote for Dutton? I doubt it very much.

I know what will happen. The Liberals will be exposed for doing the same thing, and we will go to "Nothing to see here," and the media will switch to something else. The same happened with his house purchase. That's moved on, as many Liberals have even larger portfolios in houses and shares. It's laughable and very predictable.

What are the chances of a Fed Labor Government and all the States being Liberal Governments? I have been around long enough to see that play out.
