‘Climate warriors never care about cost’: Bowen attacked over department’s travel spending

Sky News host Chris Kenny reacts to Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s department slugging taxpayers with a close to half-a-million-dollar bill.

Departmental staff were authorised to spend $485,602 on trips to Turkey, Fiji, Germany, and South Korea, according to The Australian.

“On the back of a cost-of-living crisis, power price strife and a shocking budget, you get the sense that many in the media have started to tire of the likes of Bowen and their cocky attitudes,” Mr Kenny said.

“Because there are two things that we’ve learned climate warriors never care about. That is the cost to taxpayers for all their campaigning, and of course, the carbon footprint they leave in their jet trails.”
