Energy Minister Chris Bowen has billed taxpayers more than $200,000 for use on a VIP jet.
Defence disclosures show the minister spent the money on special-purpose flights during a four-day trip to several Pacific Nations.
It was part of Australia's failed bid to host the COP31 climate summit, which the government later abandoned, allowing Turkey to host.
The Coalition has questioned the spending, arguing it came at a time Australians are facing rising energy bills and cost-of-living pressures.
