Attack ads on Premier’s petrol theft gaffe branded ‘childish’
The Victorian Liberal Party has paid for mocking ads on digital screens at service stations in Premier Ben Carroll's electorate. The ads show an AI image of Mr Carroll grinning with car keys as a worker chases him. Mr Carroll said he forgot to pay a $90 petrol bill late on Monday night while running errands, and that he fixed the bill straight away. Police contacted his office the following day. Some online commenters criticised the ads as childish. Victorians vote on November 28.
