    EXCLUSIVE: PREMIER Ted Baillieu last night sacked a committee of MPs - which included his Deputy Premier and Attorney-General - from the management of the state's rich taxpayer-funded parliamentary pension scheme.

    The move came after the Herald Sun contacted his office about a court bid approved by the committee that, if successful, would add thousands of dollars a year to their pensions.
