Federal Labor leader Bill Shorten says he knows nothing about an alleged printing allowance scam involving Victorian Labor.

Opposition leader Bill Shorten says he knows nothing about an alleged Victorian Labor parliamentary allowances scam.

The state Labor government was rocked this week by allegations MP printing allowances had been scammed to fund branch stacking operations in Melbourne's west, which takes in Mr Shorten's electorate.
