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....

However, speaking after the vote on Tuesday, one of her colleagues Andrew Wallace said she has "seen the light on Israel in recent years".

Oh, for fucks sake...
