Rebecca White must answer why she has outsourced Labor's election campaign to Victoria

Now that Rebecca White has finally come out of hiding, she must answer why Labor has failed local jobs and outsourced Labor’s election campaign to a Victorian company.

It is clear that Ms White thinks the caravan has moved on and she won’t have to explain her outsourcing of jobs to Victoria.

Specific questions Ms White must answer include:

- was she aware that her television ad had been outsourced to Victoria?

- if so, did she as Leader approve this?

- how does she justify sending jobs to Victoria?

- will she rule out using the Moss Group to develop a negative "mediscare" style campaign as they did for Bill Shorten?

This is a tactic Labor replays over and over and it is time Ms White was called out for it.  This latest example comes after she avoided media over mandatory sentences for child abusers, disunity at their State Conference, and Labor’s split position on pokies.

It’s simply not good enough that I have fronted the media more times than Ms White in the past week and now that she has been forced out of hiding, she needs to explain why she is ignoring local jobs in favour of Victorians.
