We see the same thing when our elected representatives go abroad on government business. Only a few days ago Ivana Bacik and her friends in the media had a pop at Martin for going to the G20 in South Africa.

It's interesting that when it comes to the billions spent on asylum provision and the social welfare budget, Ivana and her comrades are strangely silent on any wastage.
