The 1000km Pollie Pedal bike ride has begun without one of its most prominent founders - Prime Minister Tony Abbott.Mr Abbott left Australia on Saturday night for talks in the Netherlands with his Dutch counterpart, Mark Rutte, and to meet some of the 500-strong team involved in bringing home the dead from last month's MH17 disaster.The gruelling bike ride, from Moree to Penrith, began in 1998 and has raised about $3 million for charities, including the Royal Flying Doctors Service.This year, funds will go to Carers Australia, with $700,000 already raised.Mr Abbott last year was forced to defend claiming some travel and accommodation expenses for the ride, saying it was a 'perfectly legitimate form of engagement with the community'.Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews says it's the first time the prime minister has missed the fundraiser.'Tony has ridden every kilometre of the 16 Pollie Pedals - that's 16,000 kilometres,' Mr Andrews said while preparing to get on his bike on Sunday -

Gee, despite Abbott creating a charity that has raised $3 million dollars for charities and pedalling 16,000 kilometres to boot the Abbott-haters are still riding their broomsticks.... Sad

Thank god...Abbott has always expected taxpayers to cover his expenses while he used charities for his own self promotion so its about time that he left it to people who do it purely for altruistic reasons.
Mr Abbott...the age of entitlement is over and the hardworking Australian taxpayers cant afford you constantly ripping them off.
