Australia: Premier John Brumby spent $78,905 on US trip | Herald Sun
PREMIER John Brumby and his entourage kept a limousine waiting while they dined on a "high-level business dinner" 600m from their hotel on a recent overseas trip.
Mr Brumby and his team spent more than $17,600 on chauffeur-driven sedans, vans and sports utility vehicles on their nine-day US tour that cost taxpayers $78,905.
The extravagant spending was part of a whirlwind Brumby Government US expedition that cost taxpayers almost $9000 a day.

He said Mr Brumby held talks on climate change and biotechnology with Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed an alliance between California and Victoria on stem cell research and announced that US retailer Costco would set up its first Australian store in Melbourne.
