Deputy Premier James Merlino has asked Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton to investigate 24 coalition MPs over alleged election fund rorting in the last state election.
The allegations include using electorate office staff for campaigning in 2014 and ministerial advisers not taking leave during the caretaker period.
The request from Victoria Labor comes only a week after Victoria Police announced the fraud squad was investigating the Labor Party’s misuse of $388,000 of public money in the 2014 election campaign.
