Attorney-General Michelle Rowland will pay taxpayers back after some expenses claimed for a family holiday were found to be a breach of the rules.

Rowland used family reunion entitlements to take her children on a trip to Perth in 2023, which cost more than $21,600, including about $16,000 for business class flights.
