The Queensland Premier, as well as other cabinet ministers have been reprimanded for over $80,000 in accomodation fees during the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
This spending has been defended by the Deputy Leader Jackie Trad, who outlined them as necessary measures, as well as being the advice of the Queensland Police Service.
Jackie Trad explicated that the $720 a night stay was necessary, given the economic benefit of the Commonwealth Games.
