Pauline Hanson claimed $16,000 for private charter despite claiming floods tour was at ‘no cost to taxpayer’

Pauline Hanson claimed almost $16,000 in taxpayer-funded private charter flights for a Queensland flood-affected communities tour, contradicting her earlier assertion that the trip would cost taxpayers nothing. Hanson and Barnaby Joyce initially flew on billionaire Gina Rinehart's luxury Gulfstream G700 from the Sunshine Coast to Mount Isa before taking charter flights to visit flood-affected areas.
