Greens leader Adam Bandt has come under scrutiny for his use of private jets, funded by taxpayers, amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Reports indicate that Bandt has incurred nearly a million dollars in expenses in a single year, including $23,000 on two private jet flights. Critics, including former Speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop and Sky News hosts James Macpherson and Caleb Bond, have highlighted the irony of Bandt's actions given his public stance on climate change and anti-capitalism. The controversy has sparked a debate on the perceived double standards of political figures who advocate for environmental causes while engaging in high-polluting activities.
