The folks over at Acquire Procure have created just that in the form of Poli Flight.
You can slice up the data every which way: by politician, airport, date, $$$.
*Except for Malcolm Turnbull, who keeps live-tweeting his public transport trips in a not-at-all-obvious way.
I know this is anecdata but vastly more people got off this Hornsby train at North Sydney than at Wynyard this morning.

This is how it all works:
To play with / investigate / fuck around with the map, you’ll have to go HERE.
- $5.9M was spent on domestic scheduled flights (just under $1M / month)
- Just over 10,000 flights were taken by 235 politicians
- Our politicians covered just over 11,000,000 km’s in the air (just under 50,000 km’s per politician)
- The average flight costs around $580
- West Australian Senator Rachel Siewert topped the leaderboard, spending over $77k in the six month period
- The Sydney to Canberra sector accounted for almost 1,500 flights (almost 11 flights per weekday)
