‘Is this a joke?’: The comments from Vicki Ward that Jacqui Felgate labelled ‘insanity’

Jacqui Felgate has taken the state government to task after their latest announcement, which she’s labelled a “debacle”.

Premier Ben Carroll has announced a $206 million plan to cap public transport fares at $30 a week for two years, with the 3AW Drive host playing audio of the Minister for Public Transport Vicki Ward, as well as revisiting audio of current Deputy Premier Gabrielle Williams.

“Is this a joke?” Felgate reacted.

“This is just insanity.”

“I really don’t think Labor has thought this through at all,” Ellen Sandell, leader of the Victorians Greens, said.

“It’s a bit rich coming from them.”
