Ambrose fined over perth comments
Updated
A former chief executive of an alcohol supplier has been charged over comments he made during a Senate expense claims hearing in March.
Perth businessman Robert Redford was accused of paying more for hospitality than the average New Zealand taxpayer over eight months during the 2012 Christmas season.
Senator Stephen Parry asked Mr Redford whether it was possible for a $100 expense of $1000 to be paid to a former employee.
Mr Redford defended his actions, calling Mr Parry's accusation "nonsense".
Mr Redford paid a hospitality price of $100 for three years at Tambrose, but he left just before Christmas 2012 to take up another job in the US where he will continue to earn his $600 per week wage.
He told the ABC that he did not have a $100 expense bill and, "you cannot pay such a large fee out of your own pocket" without a "very good excuse."
Senator Parry accused Mr Redford of paying the invoice, which took up $150.
"You could see that he really didn't take it out of his own pocket," Senator Parry said.
In a statement to the ABC, the company said Mr Redford would not be returning to the company.
"We've looked closely at the situation and we can say without question that the charges do not reflect Mr Redford's performance at Tambrose," a spokesman said in a statement.
A spokesman for the Federal Government has also issued a clarification, confirming that it would not be reimbursing the alleged "pay-for-service" scheme by Tambrose.
Mr Parry says Mr Redford has no reason to deny the charges, but was upset.
"What's frustrating is they don't give you the basis for why these are charges," he said.
However, he concedes there were some aspects of the claims that were dubious.
"It's pretty obvious that <the>expenses] were taken out of a budget that was approved by the government for Christmas... so I think there would be nothing wrong with that," he said.
Mr Redford is due to appear in court next month on the charges.

Good samaritan killed your son because he was gay? It's so ridiculous, it's absurd." (Jensen and the other two victims were killed in a separate domestic violence incident on April 19.)
"It doesn't make sense to me that you had to shoot both of my kids as soon as they were sitting in that car and then you couldn't care less you could pick the guy who killed the other one," he said in his Facebook post. "When I was little you would tell me to stop playing the victim and then when you killed that other person in the family it was like you didn't care one bit."
The other victim, a female student, who is in her first year of college, is listed in critical condition at a hospital. A student said she witnessed Jensen shoot a bullet in his daughter's eye, which is one of the injured children's eye. She told police that she feared Jensen would hurt her other children or himself, according to the KSL.
"That's why you were killed," the student told police. "I feel bad because you left your kids with me."
"It's very unfortunate that what has been a nightmare for our family, for some of these kids, turned into this tragedy," a relative told the KSL. "I believe that this could have been avoided had you and Mr. Jensen gone to an emergency room sooner after the accident. That's one of the reasons I can't believe they're taking this very seriously, because it's so small the crime is so far down the list, you would think they'd at least be aware of what happened and not let it continue."
The woman said the two men went to the victim's parents' house in South Bend shortly after the shooting and pulled their daughter, 15-year-old Rachael Jensen, to a closet, according to the Tribune. "They don't realize <the>suspect] may have gotten out of the vehicle," the woman told police.
The couple, living at home as their 18-year-old daughter, arrived home and saw Jensen holding his weapon and shooting at the girl, police said.
The teen ran outside and reported the incident, the boy said.
The boy also told investigators that Jensen told him "he wasn't going to leave the girls home that night, and he did not want to come back after school." He said he did not know what happened after the girl's parents went to the garage and called police, though Jensen did say he was sorry for what had happened, and that he had intended to do it again, the Tribune reported.
Investigators said that the couple were married last March and that Jensen owns a gun while another neighbor owns a car and another home and live
