Jo Haylen, the Minister of Transport in New South Wales, apologized for the three -hour private lunch of the three -hour private lunch on the weekend of Australia with some friends and some friends. The cost was $ 750.

"I made a wrong decision," Helen said on Sunday, apologizing and confirming that she would pay the money for 13 hours, 446 kilometers of hunter Valley travel.

When asked why she was not just booking Uber, the minister told reporters: "Looking back, I should have it."

The log book shows that on January 25, the trip started from 8 am, ended at 8.50 pm, and was encoded as "business travel on working days".

According to reports, this ministerial car drove from Sydney to Haylen, a holiday house (Hardy House), located nearly 100 kilometers north of the city. She and five other people, including the close friend and pastor Rose Jackson, and then moved to the restaurant in Broknwood Wines in Pokolbin.

Later, the car brought them to the cave beach before the driver returned to Sydney. According to the rules of New South Wales, ministers can be used for private purposes for private purposes.

Haylen said on Sunday that her behavior is in line with the existing guidelines, but it is inappropriate and does not meet the "bar test".

"Look, we did have a long lunch, we did drink and eat ... The question is how we went to lunch, we made it wrong. I was wrong," she said.

But Helen rejected the opposition to ask her to resign.

She said: "I have it, I think people sometimes make mistakes." "I made a mistake here, which is why I want to apologize and repay the cost. No one is perfect."

The league calls on Helen and Jackson to resign or the prime minister Chris Mins. Minnis said that the driver was "obviously unacceptable" in private lunch.

The Labor leader said on Sunday: "The use of the driver in this way is not there." "I have asked the cabinet office to provide suggestions on the guidelines for changes, so as not to happen again."

State opposition leader Mark Speakman said that although the use of cars is used within the guidance policy, "the responsibility of these rights."

He believes that Haylen shows "contempt for taxpayers."

"It is a shame to bring her to the area near the taxpayer to the area near Newcastle and Hunter Valley ... We have enjoyed the two royal ministers at the taxpayer's cost, probably in the Hunter Valley.

"This is not only a government vehicle, but also eight government trucks."

Haylen said the record of the trip was the responsibility of the Prime Minister's department. She described the driver as "a very good man and absolute professionals." She said he had spent all the necessary rest time.

She said, "I didn't let him wait." "We did have a private lunch for about three hours, so he took us to lunch and returned to our house."

Helen said she had talked with the Prime Minister on the incident.
