Australia’s finance minister, Mathias Cormann, admits in Senate estimates he booked holidays by calling the chief executive of the travel company Helloworld directly. Under questioning from the Labor senators Penny Wong, Kimberley Kitching and Jenny McAllister, Cormann says he knew the CEO, Andrew Burnes, through his Liberal party position. Cormann said on Tuesday he had no idea he had not paid for the travel, worth $2,780, until he was informed by the media.
