Federal Labor is facing an entitlements controversy of its own as it deals with allegations frontbencher Tony Burke took his family on a taxpayer-funded trip to Uluru.

Mr Burke charged the taxpayer for his family to travel business class to Alice Springs three years ago, The Australian reported on Tuesday.

Questions have also been raised over a week-long overseas trip to Europe by Mr Burke, during his time as environment minister, where his expenses averaged $10,000 a day, it said.

Frontbench colleague Brendan O'Connor told Sky News every MP will be accountable for their actions.
