The jab took place when the pair were talking to the ATO’s Assistant commissioner, Karen Foat.
‘Great advice there and as I always say, I love, love, love the ATO and you guys do a fantastic job,’ Karl said after the interview, which was filled with advice for viewers on lodging tax returns this year.
Allison then told Ms Foat: ‘And you and I should talk afterwards… I’m just saying.’ She then pointing at Karl and made a funny face.

Karl was shocked by the suggestion he was rorting the taxman and even mentioned how Alison was cackling with laughter.
‘Oh my God, you’ve just put me in it big time! That’s not a pleasant thing to do, Ally. And look at you, you’re nasty laughing!’ he said.
