Paul, Cormann paid for his fare. Another fail on your part!

Yeah Josephus, yesterday after the jurnos came around a knock n' on his door to tell him the jig was up!

When the thief is caught stealing from the cookie jar, as long as he puts the cookies back when caught, all is forgiven.

Hockey is the next big target, and Morrison will be shown to have lied to the parliament over Hockey's involvement. Its 'Chumgate'!

How many Liberal Party politicians have had free trips, complements of 'Halloworld', 14 out of 82 when asked said they hadn't, what about the rest? Its 'Chumgate'.

Paul were the trips at taxpayer expense?

Josephus, if you have to ask such a silly question, then either you are so one eyed Liberal, or you don't have a clue what might be political corruption.

Set up 'Dumbo Incorporated', then wine and dine all the Coalition politicians in Canberra, and give each one $10,000 cash. All this while you are seeking a lucrative government contract worth billions. Then they vote to give you that contract, goodness gracious how fortunate you were.

AND, it didn't cost the taxpayers a cent! Some people are clueless!

Interesting. Paul1405 this must be fake news as it is from the dailymail.

Taxpayers spent $50MILLION fighting asylum claims from 22,000 Malaysians over three years – and only 129 of them were genuine refugees

Thousands of false asylum claims from Malaysian citizens have cost Australian taxpayers nearly $50million, according to reports.

More than 22,000 Malaysians have flown to Australia seeking protection in the past three years, but only 129 have been found to be real claims of persecution, The Herald Sun reported.

This week, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal revealed many of the petitions filed were found to be 'vague,' 'undetailed' and had 'illogical evidence.'

The findings have led officials to fear that the fast-track electronic travel system - which is available to citizens from seven other countries - has created an easy pathway for foreign criminals.

Currently, Malaysians are able to apply and obtain a visa within three days for only $20.

And while thousands are denied asylum each year, the appeal process itself could encourage foreigners to remain in the country while they wait for a decision.

In fact, 13,000 Malaysians have filed to overturn the rejection in the last three years, and many of them have either stayed on bridging visas or illegally, the outlet reported.

Immigration officials have been cracking down on Malaysian citizens, but reports reveal a total of 64,000 foreigners have flown to Australia seeking protection since July 2013.

The parliamentary committee will reveal its plan for immigration reform in a report on Thursday.

Liberal MP Jason Wood, the committee chairman, said the problem has 'clogged' the system and allowed for organised crime.
