John Howard's office is the most expensive, averaging $850,000 a year over the last term of government, an investigation by the Sunday Herald Sun has found.
Mr Howard's office expenses were almost double the average of the other four former prime ministers no longer in Parliament, thanks to a $450,000 office refit in 2008-09 to his swanky digs in Sydney's MLC building, which costs almost $14,000 a month to rent.
But new figures reveal that in the seven months after leaving office Mr Howard spent $109,892 on limousine services, evenly split between the government Comcar service and private hire cars. Mr Howard's office rental was the highest at $13,853 a month, closely followed by Mr Fraser, whose 101 Collins St office in Melbourne costs taxpayers $12,122 a month.
Fucking little scumbag! Mealymouthedly preaching “mutual responsibility” to the unemployed etc but he had a responsibility not to cost us taxpayers half a million dollars fitting up Kirribilly to be something it was never meant to be, the PM’s residence, just because his social climbing bitch of a wife wanted to pretend to better than they really were. Life one long lie, the paternal service station propped open by a scheme to stop returned servicemen taking up plantations in PNG, the lies about Kirribilly, Iraq-WMD, kids overboard, AWB etc etc.
And to top it all up the little turd is firmly affixed to the govt teat even beyond his pension of $1m a year!
John Howard—trough dweller!
LOL
