Media Gotcha catches out the LNP

Tourism Minister took a flash family holiday overseas. Courier Mail scored the 'gotcha'. With hundreds of public relationers and spinners Ellen Pea should have been able to predict and avoid that stunt.
...The CM is at it again, making a big deal of another Minister taking leave in Bali. Boring.
LNP's Attorney General won't reveal how much cash his Offender Levy is raking in from criminals. Copied from a UK and New Zealand revenue raiser it is a third hit on those found guilty. (Find, Police Costs, Offender Levy). The LNP promised the cumbersome levy, (not a tax) would raise $1 million a month. Its success should make a great media release but they flick questions to SPER, their collection agency.
LNP Transport Minister without a Director General ... handing over $10,000 a week while allegations about his DG's behaviour are investigated ... a similar amount for an acting Director General and those acting in his role. Real DG should be doing something worthwhile while being paid from the public purse. He could be out and about checking out the condition of roads, construction projects, transport challenges. Being part of road crews will reinforce the challenges of doing the practical transport work.
