One Nation senator for NSW still lived in Queensland four months after his appointment, expense reports show
AI Summary
One Nation Senator for New South Wales, Sean Bell, continued to reside in Queensland for the first four months after his September appointment, according to parliamentary expense reports. During this period, Bell claimed over $6,000 in chauffeured car rides within Brisbane and nearly $5,000 in airfares for travel between Brisbane and Canberra. While there is no constitutional requirement for senators to live in the state they represent, Bell's continued Queensland residency has drawn scrutiny. Expense records also show Bell spent time in regional NSW and Sydney, familiarizing himself with the electorate. One Nation has declined to specify when Bell relocated to NSW, though they stated in late February that all their senators reside in the state they represent.
