Because they want a phone line that they can talk to their spouse and children without having to field thousands of calls from well-meaning people who want to wish them a good day?

Sorry, I should have written

>Federal Government ministers all have their phone bill summaries released as part of public record

Why?

So that the public knows they aren't making secret phone calls to lobbyists or what have you. The purpose of transparency is always to reduce corruption.

But they redact the phone numbers so how can you do that?

> who want to wish them a good day

I see what you did there.

Lmao. "Wishing to mean them a good day"? Really?
