Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has his priorities wrong ordering gourmet meals on board official flights, Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull says.
News Ltd has claimed that Australian taxpayers are paying thousands of dollars to ensure Mr Rudd is served a three-course meal on every RAAF VIP flight, including the Sydney to Canberra service. Defence overhauled the catering arrangements after an outburst by Mr Rudd on board a flight from Port Moresby to Canberra in January.
Mr Turnbull said Australians were focused on jobs.
"They want to know what the government is doing to promote jobs, they want to know why money isn't being better and more effectively spent," Mr Turnbull told the Seven Network on Wednesday.
"I think the prime minister's got his priorities wrong on the aeroplane as well as he has on the economy."
