MP hit with $10,000 iPhone bill

Another cell phone bill victim. A South Australian member of Parliament was hit with a $10,000 bill on his taxpayer-funded phone after his son downloaded football games. At least he's in a position do something about it.

He has taken the complaint to Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, who said he would follow it up with the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA).
