The energy minister, Chris Bowen, the prime minister Anthony Albanese, and the industry minister, Ed Husic, travelled in two separate private jets for a solar energy announcement in Muswellbrook last week.The energy minister, Chris Bowen, the prime minister Anthony Albanese, and the industry minister, Ed Husic, travelled in two separate private jets for a solar energy announcement in Muswellbrook last week.

He said the air force recommended that the most efficient way of getting the prime minister and the two cabinet ministers to the Liddell power station was to fly to Scone airport. The radio station 2GB first reported on Monday that a resident in Muswellbrook had posted a photo on a local community Facebook page of two Dassault 7X jets on the runway at the Scone aerodrome on Thursday morning. The Royal Australian Air Force maintains a small group of such planes for government and VIP travel, including for transporting ministers on some official business.

Government sources claimed there were no viable commercial options from Canberra to the Hunter that would have got the ministers there in time, and that only a smaller number of staff accompanied the ministers. The prime minister alone usually travels with a security detail and several staff, while ministers are also accompanied by staff.
