Energy Minister Chris Bowen has defended using two separate Royal Air Force jets to take him and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the NSW Hunter Valley to promote a renewables fund., Albanese travelled with Bowen, Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic, Minister for Defence Industry Pat Conroy and Hunter MP Dan Repacholi to speak from Liddell Power Station in Muswellbrook.
“But to take a second plane for himself is something that I think is remarkable, is a grotesque use of taxpayers’ dollars.” “The prime minister has a large jet available to him, that would normally be what we take, the runway at Scone wasn’t strong enough to take a large jet so the air force recommended a decision to use two small jets,” Bowen said.
