Charity vows to ‘ensure it never happens again’ after Karen Hayes featured in ads praising treasurer as an ‘amazing supporter’
On Tuesday, Guide Dogs Victoria confirmed Hayes had been stood down pending an investigation.
“The board had no knowledge of this and did not endorse it. The independent investigation is underway and is ongoing. The purpose of the investigation is to understand what happened and ensure it never happens again.” Iain Edwards, chair of Guide Dogs Victoria, said last week he had “no prior knowledge” of the ads before they came to light this week, and that the charity was “absolutely committed to its important work as a charitable apolitical organisation”. He said an internal investigation would be conducted into the matter.
Frydenberg’s office said last week that the ads were no longer running. Material has been taken down from his website, while the Facebook ads have been stopped.
