Barnaby Joyce is again under scrutiny over the use of taxpayer funds.
It’s emerged the now-Agriculture Minister billed taxpayers more than $4,500 for attending three rugby league games last year.
Today Mr Joyce stood by his travel expenses, saying he won’t be paying the money back.

Mr Joyce says he supports a number of programs within the NRL and was invited to attend.
