davywavyScene: The Royal Australian flying accounts and oversight service, Dingo Ridge, Queensland. Bruce, a tanned surfer accountant, is speaking into the radio.
Bruce:'Strewth! That's a fair Dinkum problem you've got there! I'll get right on it!
Enter Sheila, a pretty blonde accountant, and her faithful pal - Flippy, the Second Homes Kangaroo.
Sheila: What's the problem, Bruce?
Bruce: I've got former Environment Minster Elliot Morley on the blower. He's claimed £16,000 in mortgage interest payments on his home in his Scunthorpe constituency even though the mortgage had ended 18 months before. Although records show his mortgage had been repaid by March 2006, Mr Morley continued to be reimbursed for £800 a month in 2006-7. Mr Morley had been renting out his London flat to another Labour MP, Ian Cawsey who nominated it as his second home and claimed back the £1,000 a month rent he paid to Mr Morley
Flippy, the second homes kangaroo: Tk tk tk tk tk.
Sheila: What's that, Flippy? He can redesignate the home as his primary residence with only 24 hours of notice, thereby not being liable? That's a corker of an an idea!
Flippy, the second homes kangaroo: Tk tk tk tk tk.
Bruce: And he can claim the cost of an accountant to expenses, despite that being illegal for any ordinary member of the public?
Sheila: Hooray for Flippy! He's saved an MP from having to pay the same taxes as an ordinary member of the public!
Flippy, the second homes kangaroo: Tk tk tk tk tk.
All: Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, Flippy! You're so funny!
