Sky Information host Cory Bernardi says a gaggle of senators had been seen at a “smoking ceremony” in Western Australia for a committee inquiry into the deaths and disappearances of Aboriginal ladies and youngsters.
“Within the photos, you may see the senators holding their ‘hearth sticks’,” Mr Bernardi mentioned.
“After the committee returned to Canberra the invoices began to reach and insiders inform me there was a $1500 greenback price for the smoking ceremony and it’s been instructed to me … allegedly one other $1500 for the welcome to nation after which an extra $2000 {dollars} for the six cultural sticks.
“That’s a complete of $5000 {dollars} for lighting a hearth, giving a bunch of entitled politicians some cultural sticks.
“Apparently the payments had been considerably of a shock to the committee who after fairly a prolonged dialogue I’m assured – determined that charging the taxpayers for these sacred sticks, ‘wouldn’t wash’ – they determined to select up that tab for themselves.”
