Ben Carroll dismissed Victorian transport and planning secretary Jeroen Weimar from his position. Weimar formerly served as Victoria's COVID head. His unexpected dismissal followed a hushed tax investigation in the civil service.
Carroll fired the controversial former official, signaling an exit under Carroll's leadership. News outlets including AFR, Herald Sun, and The Age documented the departure of the Victorian transport chief on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The decision concludes Weimar's tenure in charge of state transport and planning operations once the secret tax scandal became public.
