Victoria’s anti-corruption body will investigate allegations of “serious corrupt conduct” by state MPs over the misuse of taxpayer money and branch stacking.

Dubbed “Operation Watts,” both the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) and the Victorian Ombudsman will look “into a range of matters”—including the misuse of public money used for “party‐political work or other improper purposes.”
