Loving the quote from Prescott
He told The Daily Telegraph he believed his officials may have spent the cash on food and drink during a trip to Australia to examine the country's casino licensing laws.

The Pies in Oz are amazing especially this joint which I visited on a few ocassions, you never drove up the F1 without stopping for a Crocodile, Emu or Camel pie, they did normal pies as well, loads of different ones.
Wish we had pie shops like this in the UK.

So you say it is alright for them to misappropriate public money then!

Seems more like fiddling to me!
