Since Labour tried to put Bill English over the barrel over far less signifigant expenses will we see Chris Carter pay back some of this cash too?

How can a 2 day trip to Australia cost so much?

These expenses are not justified.
Even the trips themselves would be hard to justify.
What is the price tag for the 'interfaith peace conference'?

If that is hard work then I would like to swap places with him.

Shameful.
