Nick Staikos busts the $15 billion dollar myth
The Member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos has the answer to allegations of a $15 billion rort in the Big Build budget. Basically, it’s a case of “don’t believe everything you hear or read” because much of that sum was the wages paid to construction workers. Also in this podcast, Southern FM newsman Colin Tyrus hits out at “lazy journalism” that leads to allegations and rumours being treated as fact. Nick Staikos is Minister for Consumer Affairs and Minister for Local Government in the Allan Labor Government.
