## Resource

Communications Minister Anika Wells has repaid $10,116.11 for incorrect travel claims, following an independent audit that found four errors in her expenses since the 2022 election. The audit cleared a controversial New York trip, but Wells apologized for other mistakes, including family trips to events like Formula One and skiing in Thredbo. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defended Wells, noting tighter travel rules and comparing her situation to that of oppositions Bridget McKenzie.
