Taxpayers fork out $3000 a week for a mansion Tony Abbott doesnt want TAXPAYERS are forking out $3000 a week in rent for a luxury Canberra house that Prime Minister Tony Abbott has chosen not to use. NICELY DONE - ANOTHER WASTE !!!! Liberal senator Cory Bernardi asked about the property during a Senate estimates hearing today. So $3000 a week for a property that how many people are living in now? he asked. The property is vacant, senator, Ms Kelly said. Ms Kelly said the department was notified shortly after the election that Mr Abbott was not going to use it. Since then, the department has been negotiating with the propertys owner to get out of the lease, but has not yet succeeded. Were still in those negotiations, Ms Kelly said. Its understood the property has already cost taxpayers more than $30,000. The full 12-month lease would cost taxpayers about $156,000. theaustralian.au/national-affairs/taxpayers-fork-out-3000-a-week-for-a-mansion-tony-abbott-doesnt-want/story-fn59niix-1226762780685
