One Nation Victoria Leader Warren Pickering accuses the Victorian Government of allowing years of spending blowouts and demands an investigation into the state’s finances. “We believe, looking at all the cost projections and blowouts of every single project that’s been engaged in in Victoria over the last decade, that the books are sufficiently cooked,” “As I said, we surmise that the books are sufficiently cooked in this state to warrant a full investigation.”
