The Flights Kevin Weedmark Says He Paid For Himself

Kevin Weedmark is defending a recent set of flights he took to attend government events, saying he paid for the travel out of his own pocket. Questions from the Opposition over those flights are mounting, and the defence is his own account of who covered the cost rather than something the questions have settled on their own terms. Covering the bill yourself is a tidy answer to the narrow question of who pays; it is also a narrow one, addressing the expense while leaving the trips themselves where they started.
