Bronwyn Bishop Spends 5k On Extremely Short Flight, Internet Unimpressed

In a strange turn of events that has never happened before in the history of the Internet, people are very angry about another #auspol thing.

CRAY!

This time, it’s the fact that Parliamentary speaker and ardently terrifying human Bronwyn Bishop deciding that 65 minutes of being in a car was touch too long for her to bear. She chose to save a whole of 15 minutes by not driving, and instead flying in a private charter from Melbourne to Geelong (50 minutes). This private aircraft cost over $5000.

The Internet was obviously unhappy, as the Internet tends to be when politicians spend taxpayer money on flashy shit:

How much longer are we going to put up with Bronwyn Bishop snouting in the trough and carrying on like Catherine the Great ?

Workers paid $5227 so Hon Bronwyn Bishop could take this 1 hour Comcar trip by charter aircraft.#shocker #auspol pic.twitter.com/VbXNCCzCCa

I like to imagine Bronwyn Bishop has a sedan chair to carry her around Parliament House. Seems unlikely she’d ever walk anywhere

Dear Bronwyn Bishop, next time you want to fly a short distance, this will save the taxpayers a lot of money. #auspol pic.twitter.com/nPdNsGMZWS

Bronwyn Bishop charged taxpayers $5,000 to travel 73km. She’s basically the M5.

Age of entitlement fr every1 finished except if you belong to liberal party which works on principle of “rich entitlement” #bronwynbishop

Technically you can walk from Melbourne to Geelong in less than 24 hours, but we understand that would eat into her time letting members of the Liberal party talk over everyone else in Question Time, y’know?
