Ben has torn into Government officials for spending $800,000 on a new office for our Defence Minister.

“There’s a problem, Richard Marles didn’t know about it!” Ben said.

The new digs were only discovered 7 months after the project began.

Piles of documents were then found outlining detailed plans for the new office including what coat rack Mr Marles might like.

The office is now being repurposed.
