Incredibly fitting for the party:

Ley apologised after using a taxpayer-funded trip to purchase an apartment on Queensland's Gold Coast.

Whoops, I accidentally purchased a house!

Ley has also drawn headlines for her comments about Palestinians. She was a co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine, an informal cross-party group which aimed to raise the experiences of Palestinian people and has spoken in the chamber in support of Palestinian autonomy.

Ooh, that's really promising....
