Ms Hayes is the subject of an internal investigation by Guide Dogs Victoria for publicly backing Mr Frydenberg in the hotly contested inner-Melbourne seat of Kooyong.
Guide Dogs Victoria has stood down chief executive Karen Hayes pending an independent investigation into her political endorsement of Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.The charity says its board had no knowledge of Ms Hayes' political endorsement ahead of time
Ms Hayes appeared in a social media video posted on Mr Frydenberg's Facebook page last week, and she featured in letterbox flyers dropped off in the seat of Kooyong. A fresh statement from the charity said Ms Hayes had been stood down "following the distribution of political materials that included comments from the CEO purporting to be on behalf of Guide Dogs Victoria and publicly endorsing a political candidate"."The independent investigation is underway and is ongoing. The purpose of the investigation is to understand what happened and ensure it never happens again.
