Sky News Reporter Annelise Nielsen says she was "pretty surprised by the approach," taken by television personality Scott Cam during an interview relating to his $350,000 government ambassador position.
On Tuesday, TV star Scott Cam had defended his role after it was revealed he had already pocketed more than $100,000 for a total of four social media posts since his position was created.
Speaking to Sky News on Tuesday, Mr Cam said his duties as National Careers Ambassador kicked off this month "and that was always the case".
“If you did your homework and knew what you were talking about, you’d know that all of the tours and appointments that we’re going to are school or TAFE based and over the summer all of those facilities are closed,” he said.
“I think that would be a waste of taxpayer money if I was standing at an empty school, wouldn’t you?"
Ms Nielsen said she thought Mr Cam would have been going more for more of "a charm offensive," on the issue.
