    Guide Dogs Victoria launches internal investigation after CEO Karen Hayes publicly endorses Treasurer Josh Frydenberg

    Guide Dogs Victoria has launched an internal investigation following its chief executive officer publicly endorsing federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's bid for re-election.

    The move may be in breach of regulations for charities set out by a national body.

    Karen Hayes appeared in a social media video posted on Mr Frydenberg's Facebook page yesterday, and she featured in letterbox flyers dropped off in the seat of Kooyong.
