Minister Anika Wells used nearly $3000 of taxpayer funds for travel allowances and flights for her family to join her at the Thredbo ski resort.

This follows revelations of significant international travel expenses. The trip's cost and Wells' use of entitlements are being questioned, though a government spokesman stated the travel was within guidelines.
