This is an endless debate but most if not all of our peers have a decent residence where you can host another leader work with staff into the evening, host cabinet for a breakfast retreat. Is this too much to ask?

We are spending $5 Billion on parliament renovations. Surely most countries can't afford anywhere near that and some balance is necessary.
