    The PM wants Australia to "live within our means"... just like these times.

    1. When the PM bought an office oven from the catalogue.

    2. When the foreign minister booked a pretty cheap Uber.

    3. When the deputy PM popped over in a chopper.

    4. When the former speaker went on a South American bender on a shoestring.

    5. When the government wanted the living room to look nice for visitors.

    6. When this Liberal MP made $500,000 worth of changes to the office.

    7. When the former PM spent a little bit of money on marriages.

    8. When some MPs claimed a little allowance while living in their own home.

    9. When the former treasurer got in on the action.

    10. When we planned for an extra poll and that cost a little bit.

    11. When "the immigration department" just would not do.

    12. When the new kids needed $1.3 million for nice badges.

    13. And when your books need a home...

    There's never been a more exciting time to ~live within our means~.
