Letter to the Editor – Nationals are ready to govern

Regional Victoria deserves betterthan being taken for granted

After years of Labor failing to deliver for country communities, theLiberal-Nationals are ready to get on with the job of rebuilding regionalVictoria.

That means fixing the roads we rely on every day, with a $5 billion investment to repair and rebuild Victoria’s road network, alongside $288 million for country roads and bridges.

It means safer communities, with3,000 additional police, tougher bail and sentencing laws and real consequencesfor repeat offenders.

It means rebuilding regionalhealthcare by attracting more doctors, nurses, midwives and allied healthprofessionals to country communities.

It means building more homes bycutting red tape and unlocking land so families and young people can afford tostay, work and build their future locally.

And it means easing the pressureon household budgets by scrapping Labor’s Emergency Services Tax and unlockinggas for more affordable and reliable energy.

But above all, regional Victorianeeds a fair go.

Our Fair Share Guarantee willensure regional Victorians receive at least 25 per cent of new infrastructureinvestment.

For communities across the Euroaelectorate, that means a government that recognises the contribution regionalVictorians make and invests accordingly.

Better roads, safer communities,stronger healthcare and a fair share of infrastructure investment.

The Nationals are ready to governand rebuild regional Victoria.

Regional Victorians deservenothing less.
