I wish I could offer her my home. I'm in Australia though, and have a dog and a cat. But I'm sending her love.

We're locking up 10 year olds in Qld, and discussing putting ankle bracelets on them. Hope that helps.

I've never been, and certainly can't go now.

Nobody is fooled, we all know she's being targeted, and that others are just as bad. But again, I thought and she was better, that she would see that spending money on family travel while her constituents are homeless, is utterly gross. Or maybe that she'd acknowledge that afterwards. Silly me.

She's a rising star so she's in the spotlight. She should have acknowledged that it's a bad look when her constituents are doing it tough. Instead she's doubled down, ensuring it remains an issue. Again, I thought she was smarter.

I'll leave you with something to ponder, no government is above scrutiny or criticism, and to suggest otherwise smacks of...authoritarianism.

IF pollies could get a better paying job in the public sector, they would. Just because they're politicians doesn't mean they're automatically talented enough for a high paying private sector role (of which there are very few). I just thought she was one of the good ones. I was wrong.

I think banning social media for kids under 16 will do more harm than good. However, I'm bitterly disappointed in her because for some reason I thought she was better than this. And I was wrong. The coalition are focusing on her because she's a rising star and popular.

Putting my very demanding and high responsibility job to one side, she knew what she was getting into. Nobody forced her. It's not the first time she's disrespected taxpayers' money, and it's thoroughly gross for pollies to fritter money away when their constituents are unhoused and starving.

No, I said that I have to pay to bring my family on work trips. However, she also gets paid extremely well, she knew what the demands of the role were when she campaigned for it, and she also should know how awful it looks to spend taxpayer money on family travel right now.

Equally gross when people are unhoused and can't afford food or medication.

Firstly it's irrelevant what my job requires of me because I'm not the subject of this discussion. Secondly nobody forced her to run for parliament. Thirdly none of them should be doing this, but she just did and so the spotlight is currently on her. It's gross behaviour and deserving of criticism.

If I want my family to come with me on work trips I have to pay for them. I get that this is an 'entitlement', but she has constituents who are unhoused, and unable to afford food and medicine. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I'm bitterly disappointed in her. I thought she was better.

(a) nobody's forcing her to be a pollie, (b) she gets paid very well, and (c) I once had a job that kept me away from my kids a lot, so I got a different job. It's gross spending taxpayer money on family travel when people are sleeping on the streets with no food. It's gross of all pollies to do it.

Or, and I know this is a crazy idea, but someone could do the right thing. I know, silly me, what was I thinking 🤦🏻♀️
