The Victorian Liberals and Nationals have today referred the largest corruption case in Victoria's history to the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) for investigation.
Revelations over the past 24 hours have confirmed the Victorian Labor Government knew of corruption on taxpayer funded major projects estimated at a 'conservative' cost to taxpayers of $15 billion, yet did nothing.
As a direct consequence of Jacinta Allan's mismanagement as both the Minister responsible for major transport projects and Premier, every Victorian household has paid more than $5,000 in corruption tax straight into the pockets of organised criminals.
Victorians deserve answers and accountability. This scandal must be investigated by Victoria's chief integrity agency.
Shadow Attorney-General, James Newbury, said: "Premier Jacinta Allan has given a green light to organised criminals to corrupt taxpayer-funded major projects.
"This is the worst case of corruption in Victoria's history and we must not be left reliant on interstate investigations to get to the bottom of what has occurred.
"Only a Liberal and Nationals Government will clean up the construction sector by conducting a Royal Commission and establishing a new tough building watchdog, Construction Enforcement Victoria."
