Finance Minister Cormann blames free holiday on administrative error

I wanted to take my family to Singapore last year but we couldn’t afford it so we went to Burrill Lake instead. Give me my tax money back you bastard!

He forgot to leave him family home.

Biggest back stapper in Australia politics

Far too suspicious to be the actual truth. So cormann doesn’t check his credit card statements in 18 months. Obviously $2300 plus is a sum that is negligible to him. I’m surprised he didn’t blame the wife for his “oversight” in the payment.

You have a secretary and other assistants to help you with your paperwork on a daily basis, if you personally had forgotten payment why didn't the remind you of the oversight ?

I would like an admin error holiday please. Get real, he knew and got caught

Government contract worth 21 mill. CEO of said company. Free holiday. Conflict of interest. Politicians they never cease to amaze😡

Of course he did!

Resign.

LNP tactic: always be prepared to blame someone else, either Labor or your own staff. 👍 Got it.

Do politicians think they only ones that live and work from home and families. I’m sure the hard working members of military would like the same perks.

we need zero tolerance, immediate sacking and a lifetime public office ban for any such incidents.

How did he NOT know?

Just another admin error .. nothingbto see here folks .. he’s entitled

I always go on holidays without realising that I didn’t pay for any of it 🤥

Sam Dastyari lost his job for taking money how is this not the same thing ,stupid if not corrupt.

The born to rule are allowed to do what they want. The mainstream fake news media will help him explain it away.

What do You Think We are All Fools just like You READY TO PAY UP

Sashay away!

I remember the former NSW Premier O'Farrell says he will resign owing to a 'massive memory fail' in relation to the wine scandal. I hope Mr Cormann will show us the same courage to resign from his position.

If the Finance Minister can't control his own finances what chance do we have with him controlling the nations finances.. If there's truth to this story it smells of corruption, at the very least an incompetence that shouldn't be running the country

This Gov has to go they try and tell us 'they didn't know' that they got a free ride and after giving the Company $21Million contract. We will wait and see when this Gov is out where the ex MP's get their next job, Watch this space.

You're an administrative error.

More corruption. Time to throw this government out.
