So I read about this auction on The Age website (
https://www.theage.com.au/national/j...24-p5mpct.html halfway down the page "On the ball" ) and came here about 3 hours ago at 3pm to post about this auction, where I was not surprised to find it was already being discussed.
At 3pm this afternoon, they had a first bid of $5000, with the next bid increment being $5100.
It's now 6pm Monday 25/8 and the auction item for the flight is no longer valid, instead displaying:Auction not found
I guessed the would-be alternative Prime Minister hadn't done her legal checks and has been informed she cannot go ahead with the auction, except that the entire auction, not just this one lot, appear to have been removed.
OK. disregard that bit, it was some sort of issue with the link I was using. The auction continues and can be found here:

Also, the SMH has a link to an article specifically about the auction (rather than halfway down the page) here:
