Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister's aide tells him that the report on his travel perk infringements is out and his offending was only minor. The minister wishes he had infringed rather more since he may have got away with it. This 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.
