Here is one example, but seeing as how it was for 'official purposes'.......LOL
The Prime Minister has defended the amount of taxpayers' money spent to stock the cellars of his official residences, Kirribilli House and The Lodge.
Labor's Wayne Swan says the Government has spent more than $120,000 on alcohol for the houses in less than four years.
A Senate Committee last week heard that during the 1999 - 2000 financial year, nearly $45,000 was spent on the cellars, which included a bulk purchase of wine.
Mr Howard says most of the expenditure was for official purposes.

No more than any other government, be it state, local, liberal or labour. I dont think its right, but its not just a howard government thing. Rudd would do the same thing

Officials tend to avail of trips abroad to compensate for their low salary in exchange for public service.
