    We examined MPs' family travel spending — here's what we learned

    Family reunion travel for federal MPs and senators cost taxpayers more than $1.1 million last financial year, highlighting the widespread use of the entitlement by politicians working long hours away from home.

    Scrutiny of the entitlement has increased following criticism of Communication and Sport Minister Anika Wells for using the travel rules to fly her family to several sporting events.

    An expert who formerly reviewed parliamentary entitlements says there could be appetite to "slightly tighten" the rules, such as by scrapping business-class flights for family.

    It was a red-hot political exclusive that triggered a week of searing coverage about Communication and Sport Minister Anika Wells’ expenses.

    So why did News Corp, the news organisation that had the scoop, pull it down a few hours later?

    News Corp’s free mass-market news site, news.com.au, was the first to publish details of Wells’ $100,000 trip to New York under the headline “Eye-watering cost to spruik social media ban” last Tuesday evening, before mysteriously sending the link dead shortly after.
