However, approval of expenses does not indicate whether Morrison will appear at the inquiry, which resumes in Brisbane on 5 December for two weeks of hearings into the establishment, design and implementation of the scheme and impact on individuals.

Taxpayers routinely fund the costs of ABC staff when sued for their personal tweets, and you were fine with that. If that’s acceptable, then costs for work related issues must also be ok, or you’re simply partisan hacks.
