  • Angela Rayner has been installed in the grace-and-favour residence at Admiralty House - once used by Winston Churchill.

The article from MSN discusses how Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles breached the ministerial code by moving into the historic Admiralty House in Sydney, a property typically reserved for the Prime Minister. This move was intended to save taxpayer money by reducing travel expenses, but it has sparked controversy and criticism from opposition parties. The decision was made without consulting the Prime Minister or the Department of Finance, leading to accusations of entitlement and misuse of government resources.

Despite the controversy, Marles' office has defended the move, stating it was within the rules and aimed at cost-saving measures.
