Jacqui Felgate grills Ben Carroll over ‘shameful’ secret tax scandal

Jacqui Felgate has grilled Premier Ben Carroll over the secret tax scandal which came to light on Wednesday by Victoria’s Auditor-General.

It was revealed Victorians have been paying a one per cent levy on all public transport fares since January last year, with the state Labor leader scrapping it and apologising publicly today.

“Are you embarrassed?” the 3AW Drive host said.
