Barnaby Joyce wastes $95,000 in 5 minutes
Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce says he was not acting irresponsibly when he drove his taxpayer-funded four-wheel drive into floodwaters just before Christmas.
The Queensland Senator got bogged in Burren Creek, in northern New South Wales, while driving from St George to a family property while on holidays.
His $95,000 Toyota Landcruiser stalled in the creek and Senator Joyce had to climb through the driver's window to escape.

Thanks Barny! Always good to see my hard-earned tax dollars in action...

I thought he was a country boy?
He should have known to walk the crossing before driving in to it.

Re: Barnaby Joyce wastes $95,000 in 5 minutes
Are you saying that there are cars that cost more than the deposit for my house?
95k for a car!
Has it got gold-plated wheels and diamond encrusted mirrors?
I know, I'm naive... Most people wouldn't be seen dead driving around in my $6,000 Honda CRV

A mere snip. You can blow that buying the ingredients for a fruit salad in IGA.

I thought this was going to be about the wife in Midsomer Murders.
