Former Premier of Victoria, Jeff Kennett, has rejected a “grossly untrue” claim from Premier Jacinta Allan.

In a release issued on Friday, the state Labor leader accused the Liberal Party of being influenced by Kennett in the lead up to the state election.

“It’s disappointing that Jacinta (Allan) for political reasons would make that claim,” Kennett said on 3AW Drive.

“Jacinta is 100 per cent wrong.”
