He might be fucken goooooooone from the Senate, but the strange, frequently curious, often infuriating, scab-like legacy of Fraser Anning‘s political career continues to linger, not least of which through the sheer amount of taxpayer money he managed to spend while he was in office.

New data from the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority has been released today, regarding politician expenditure for the period covering January 1 through to March 31st this year.
Those reports also include how much travel was conducted by politicians during that period, and how much it all cost the Australian taxpayer.
As far as Anning goes, he spent a shade over $15,000 during that period on “Domestic Scheduled Fares,” i.e. flights around the country for his various political doings and transpirings.
Curiously enough, travel from Brisbane to Melbourne and back again on the 16th of March this year is included on that list
That date should be familiar enough to all of you Eggboy fans out there, because that happened to be the day that Anning arrived in Melbourne, held a public meeting with a group of his knuckle-dragging deadshit supporters, and subsequently got his scone rocked by a bumnut by the boy – nay, hero – we now know as Will Connolly.
Or, in short, the Australian taxpayer officially forked out $2,593.46 to fly Fraser Anning to Melbourne purely so he could get egged.
Honestly? Worth it.
Worth every goddamned cent.
