Parks Victoria staff used work credit cards for KFC to lure feral cats

Credit card bill was $2.2m last year, and was also used to spend $347 at a jewellery store, $898 at a bike shop and $5,000 at JB Hi-Fi

Parks Victoria staff have justified the use of their taxpayer-funded credit cards on hundreds of dollars worth of KFC because it is an effective bait for luring feral cats.

On Monday Victoria's environment minister, Lily D'Ambrosio, announced an external auditor would undertake an independent review of Parks Victoria's credit card transactions over the past four years.
