To her credit she's finally starting owning up to her missteps & these unnecessary expenses.
Up to this point she's been trying to play dumb "Oh.. I didn't realize a private jet cost that much." which to me was much more offensive than the cost itself. It would be one thing for her to say "I felt it was important to be at [X] event and the cost were appropriate for the amount of people we were transporting.".
But instead she's been clamming up and attempting to direct the blame elsewhere while claiming she was completely ignorant of the cost and the decision making/planning that goes into her travel.
Even the "My travel schedule makes it hard to spend time with my family, I felt it was important to include them and their friends" is a better answer than pleading ignorance of the cost of running a private jet.
Having said that, still think she's a horrible premier and I wish there was a viable alternative.
