Minister under fire for expensive taxpayer claims

Sports Minister Annika Wells faces scrutiny over taxpayer-funded expenses including charging nearly $1,000 for a Commonwealth car to wait seven hours during a tennis final and billing taxpayers for travel to a birthday party that other ministers attended at their own expense. The controversy extends to business class flights costing around $100,000 for a New York trip and highlights broader concerns about politicians' use of taxpayer funds for personal expenses.
