When you're on a lurk, it's best that you STFU.

TREASURER Joe Hockey charges taxpayers $1000 a month, the equivalent of the New-start unemployment benefit, to sleep in his wife’s $2 million Canberra home.

Mr Hockey has claimed travel allowance totalling $184,000 to stay at the home during parliamentary sittings since 1998, more than half the original sale price of $320,000.

The figure has averaged $1000 a month since 1998, roughly equivalent to the $519 a fortnight the government expects unemployed people on New-start payments to live on.

It's just that I know you refuse to criticise the board without knowing everything about the nine to five operation of the place, so no doubt you'd extend that courtesy to the national government.

What any Minister claims for away from home allowances is a matter of public record, with the facts obtained through freedom of information by the above media org. What's your point ?
