I've been having a little squizz at @stuartrobertmp's expenses claims. Interesting stuff, let me tell you!

Let's start with his 'Office Facilities', I've compared Robert's claims to all 4 other Gold Coast MPs & also Senator Murray Watt, who all have offices in SE QLD.

While I was at it, I decided to compare Stuart Robert's expenses claims TOTALS.

You know it never ceases to amaze me how a lowly back bencher's expenses can fluctuate by $100K in a quarter, but hey, what would I know? I'm not a politician! #auspol

I was just as perplexed when I looked at Stuart Robert's Printing & Communications Expenses, funny, they can fluctuate by up to $100K per quarter too!

Not bad for a back bencher (he's currently on the front bench but he's only been back there a month or so)
