Help me take my children on holidays: Dad

A father of three has set up a crowd-funding campaign hoping federal politicians will help fund his family holiday to Uluru.

Stephen Callaghan decided to make the invitation to MPs after being outraged to learn some fly their children around the country on the taxpayer.

"I think it was always in the back of our mind that the politicians were abusing the system by scheduling these iffy appointments just so they could go to the footy, but I had no idea they were carting around their family at our expense," he told ABC radio on Monday.
