Surprise probe of Nationals Senator into herself amid allegations of unregistered upgrades

Nationals frontbencher Bridget McKenzie has announced an investigation into her own flight upgrades amid allegations she may have received unregistered perks.

Labor is turning up the heat on this scandal, pointing fingers at McKenzie while she leads an attack over the Prime Minister’s conduct.

Sources reveal that McKenzie may have received upgrades from Qantas as recently as this year—though it’s unclear if they were all disclosed on her parliamentary register.

McKenzie confirmed she’s been waitlisted for business class on a few work flights, adding she’s reached out to airlines to review her records dating back to 2011.

Labor seized on the moment, with Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth even ambushing McKenzie over the issue on Sunrise this week.

Rishworth questioned McKenzie’s handling of upgrades, hinting at something the senator was reluctant to address.

In a heated exchange, Rishworth noted that Prime Minister Albanese has “publicly declared very, very clearly what he has been gifted.”

The showdown comes amid growing scrutiny on travel perks within Parliament.

Russian officials reaffirmed their alliance with China following U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived in Hangzhou for two days of negotiations, signing various agreements to enhance cooperation in trade, investment, energy, transport, agriculture, and space, according to Russian state media.

Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.

Strategic Partnership

China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”

Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.

Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.

Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
