Tom ElliottHOST
Well, we do.
Tom ElliottHOST
And, look, I've got an answer to a question from Gabrielle Williams, the Deputy Premier, which sort of explains why she doesn't live in her electorate.
Tom ElliottHOST
We'll get to that in a moment.
Tom ElliottHOST
Yeah.
Tom ElliottHOST
Politicians of all sides have failed to live in their electorates for various reasons.
Tom ElliottHOST
Gabrielle Williams, also here in Victoria, you know, she's the member for Dandenong.
Tom ElliottHOST
She lives in the inner eastern suburbs.
Tom ElliottHOST
I think it might be Surrey Hills.

Tom ElliottHOST
But most of the MPs who live away from their own seats seem to be Labour MPs.
Tom ElliottHOST
Claire O'Neill, Mark Dreyfuss, they're Federal MPs.
Tom ElliottHOST
Jacqueline Science, we've been speaking about her, Lily D'Ambrosio, Gabrielle Williams.
Tom ElliottHOST
So they typically want to, or they do represent more industrial or working areas, but they want to live in, well, inner areas, which are a bit different.
Tom ElliottHOST
Well, we do.
Tom ElliottHOST
And, look, I've got an answer to a question from Gabrielle Williams, the Deputy Premier, which sort of explains why she doesn't live in her electorate.
Tom ElliottHOST
We'll get to that in a moment.
Tom ElliottHOST
Yeah.
Tom ElliottHOST
And she joins...
Tom ElliottHOST
Colleagues like Lily D'Ambrosio and Gabrielle Williams at the state level who do not live in the seats that they claim to represent.
Tom ElliottHOST
And that word represent is important because we do have representative government.
Tom ElliottHOST
The idea is that each area, you know, elects a person from amongst them who goes to the parliament, you know, Spring Street or up in Canberra and represents partly the interests of their electorate.

Gabrielle Williams, also here in Victoria, she's the member for Dandenong.

Anthony GallowayGUEST
But I understand, you know, Allen's retort to that any time it was raised is don't you read the minutes? This is actually declared at cabinet.
Anthony GallowayGUEST
So clearly Ben Carroll and now Deputy Premier Gabrielle Williams didn't pick it up at the time because they both found out subsequent to that.
Peta CredlinHOST
I will endorse that point you make there in relation to Jacinta Allen saying that subcommittee decisions are endorsed or provided in the minutes to the general cabinet.
Peta CredlinHOST
That is actually right.
James ChessellGUEST
But the fact is, Carol knew about this levy, didn't he? And he wasn't the only one in the current government who knew about it.
James ChessellGUEST
Jocelyn Symes, the current energy minister, and Gabrielle Williams, the current deputy premier, knew about it at one point or another.
James ChessellGUEST
While the decision to keep it secret was made by the Premier, there is nothing stopping them raising objections or even leaking it themselves, right? And yet it remained completely secret.
James ChessellGUEST
In any other government, I would argue this would have leaked.
Jamie RogersPANELIST
Jess Wilson was spot on there and good questioning by Georgie as well because that was my thinking that Ben Carroll, he was there when it was implemented in 2023 as the Deputy Premier.
Jamie RogersPANELIST
Gabrielle Williams was also there as Transport Minister.
Jamie RogersPANELIST
Now, the two of them either sat there and listened to this potential levy getting in and they stayed silent Or they weren't across their cabinet papers.
Jamie RogersPANELIST
And when you look at those two options, I don't know what's worse.
Tom ElliottHOST
That was disclosed to Cabinet a couple of years ago.
Tom ElliottHOST
Gabrielle Williams was there.
Tom ElliottHOST
Ben Carroll was there as the Deputy Premier.
Tom ElliottHOST
Suddenly, no, no, no, no, we don't want this.
Danica De GiorgioHOST
Victorian Labor's secret $8 billion rail levy was put before the full cabinet more than two years ago.
Danica De GiorgioHOST
intensifying pressure on Premier Ben Carroll and his deputy, Gabrielle Williams, over what they knew about the charge and when.
Danica De GiorgioHOST
Senior Labor figures close to former Premier Jacinta Allen have laid the blame on Ms Williams for keeping the levy secret, claims strongly denied by sources close to the Deputy Premier and Mr Carroll.
Danica De GiorgioHOST
It goes on to say the Australian can reveal details of the rail improvement charge were contained in a briefing pack for a June 2024 Cabinet meeting in minutes recording a December 2023 meeting of the Government's Budget and Finance Committee of Cabinet.
