It's not the first time politicians (both Labor & Liberal, State & Federal) have done this. For the record I am not supporting Liberal or Labor

Too true. You don't want to look like a cheapskate on a G20 lunch overseas. You're there to sell your product and services. Some people just don't get that...
To put that cost in perspective to the money we currently own on labor's credit card, if the bill was rounded down to 10 million dollars that lunch would have costed the tax payer 83c. The media like their BS stories. That's how you tell it.
