International travel is literally a requirement for the job. This is a non-issue.

I would flip this back on the detractors: Which specific trip(s) do you believe the Prime Minister should not have taken? Let them go on the record saying "China was not worth a personal visit", or "The Queen's funeral was not worth a personal visit".

Watch them back down, real fast.

I kinda wish this went back a bit further, showing Rudd, Gillard, and Howard too.

But it's amazing how close they all were, apart from Turnbull, at the 500 day mark. Even up until about 400 days, Abbott, Morrison, and Albanese were basically indistinguishable from one another.
