Other ministers and managers have to be in two places at once so maybe they take the more expensive travel option because what they are doing is important. Or they also travel a lot for work and like their children so they bring them along as well. It isn't like Redford is the only parent in the government.
This is how you end up with AHS heads expending thousands of dollars on fancy dinners and other perks that then need because they are busy at work and also important.

I can see how this makes sense. Precedence. I suppose I'm looking at it too narrowly, and not at the bigger picture.
