Efforts to independently assess the taxpayer-funded project's success have also seemingly failed, with an evaluator finding it was not possible due to the project's "instability" and mismanagement.

Mr Williams addressed the Melbourne Press Club a day after federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton warned he would scrutinise the ABC's budget if elected, as part of a bid to cut "wasteful government spending". Mr Dutton said a government led by him would "reward excellence" and "cut waste" at the national broadcaster.

Ms Madhagani, who lived in Point Cook with her husband and son, was 35 when her body was found near Geelong beside a dirt road a year ago. Shortly after her death, her husband, Ashok Raj Varikuppala, flew to India.

Benjamin Klein can no longer enter his synagogue through the front door. He has to go down a back alley, unlock a door, and then unzip a plastic contamination shield. More than three months ago the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne was firebombed. The floors have since been cleared of debris, but the scorched walls, burned glass, and the deformed, gaping roof stand witness to what happened.
