Mystery groups backed by IPA staff spend $100k on Victoria election attack ads

Fix Victoria has ties to the Institute of Public Affairs. In August, it spent up to $100,000 on AI ads attacking Victoria's government. Another group, Better Victoria, also spent big on similar ads.

Why it mattersVoters need to know who funds political ads they see. This matters when groups have hidden party ties. These groups also spend more than the major parties do.
