City of Melbourne ratepayers will be forced to pay for councillors to fly to Canberra, so they can campaign against global nuclear weapon proliferation.

Member of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Scientific Network, Dr Tilman Ruff, stated he’d be disappointed if the City of Melbourne wasn’t represented in Canberra.

But 3AW Drive host Jacqui Felgate isn’t sure it passes the pub test.

Press PLAY to hear how much ratepayers will be slugged for the trip
