- Description
An artist who represents the 'Wong travel inquiry' dips his brush into a pot of whitewash as he begins a portrait of Pansy Wong who poses draped in cloth and lying on a bed; she holds a piggy bank that represents 'taxpayers'. Refers to the Pansy Wong affair. Minister of Women's Affairs Pansy Wong resigned from her portfolio after it was revealed that on a trip to China in 2008 her husband Sammy Wong was involved in a business deal. An independent investigation of travel claims by Mrs Wong and her husband Sammy was ordered by Speaker Lockwood Smith. The trip was made with a 90 percent taxpayer-funded rebate on their airfares, and it is against the rules to use the allowance for private business. Mrs Wong has apologised and paid back the $474 rebate for the China trip. An Auditor-General's inquiry called for by the Labour opposition is not considered necessary.
