Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has been urged to “come clean” about the extent of taxpayer-funded subsidies linked to a “free” Robbie Williams concert in the Melbourne CBD.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is under fire for promoting a “free” Robbie Williams concert in Federation Square , despite the event being linked to multiple taxpayer-funded production grants.
Better Man was filmed at Melbourne’s Docklands Studios between May and June 2022 and was granted millions of dollars in subsidies from Film Victoria’s incentive program. “To celebrate the release of the UK superstar Robbie William’s new biopic Better Man, Williams will make a special appearance at Fed Square,” the statement said.
“The state government needs to come clean on all the subsidies involved here,” he told SkyNews.com.au on Thursday.
