It is a mystery that maybe readers of Vogue Living - Vogue Australia might have an answer for.

$414,000 to outfit an already plush Paddington executive suite. What did Greens Senator Larissa Waters find was so necessary as to cost that amount of taxpayers' dollars?

There was a trend of certain pollies a while ago to have theme like Egyptian fit-out. That cost an arm and a leg (taxpayer's arm and leg).

What manner of Vogue elegance costs $414,000?

Just as you seem to have forgotten Mr Campbell Newman's pay
increases
Foxy,
Either you have selective memory or you're desperate to counter anything that doesn't agree with your public service-the country owes me a living mentality.
May i remind you that I have actually started a thread re Newman's pay rise recently on which most of you lefties were conspicuous by your absence.
And, I also expressed my disagreement & disappointment at the Coalition's agreement to Rudd's payrise on quite a few threads. You may not like being reminded on public servants' rorts but there's nothing you can morally do or say in defence of them.

Dear Individual,

My public service?
Really?

The country owes me mentality?
You mean like the mentality unfit, stupid, morons,
you're constantly banging on about.
Who are they again?

Defence of public rorts?
Who's defending them?
On the contrary - I'm trying to expose
all the rorts not only the biased selection
being presented on this thread - just to
balance things up.

And while we're on the subject:

Talking about rorts, here's more:

I think we can safely assume that 'rorts' happen in all political parties.
Although I doubt the Greens are in the same league as the two major parties.

At the end of the day, I doubt anyone would go into politics if there weren't some perks to the job!

Foxy,
nicely attempted diversion, just doesn't work on me.
