Ten years of Labor Government leaves Victorians with little to nothing to celebrate.
Victoria is now the highest-taxed state in the nation, with debt set to soar to a staggering $188 billion.
Victorians are set to be lumped with interest repayments of $25 million a day – over $1 million every hour. Let that sink in.
Through no fault of your own you, your friends and your family – all Victorians – each owe $28,000 as our share of the debt.
This is all because the Labor Government can’t manage money, leaving you to pay the price.
Regional Victorians are not immune from the rocketing debt. Cost-of-living is harder as a result of Labor’s 56 new or increased taxes.
Regional Victorians only receive 13 per cent of the Allan Government’s spend, despite 25 per cent of the population living in the country.
We are not getting our fair share, and it is eye watering that $40 billion has been wasted on city projects – imagine how that money could transform our regional roads, schools and hospitals.
Schools could be built in Kilmore and Heathcote, childcare facilities could be constructed in Seymour and Avenel, Goranwarrabul House could keep its doors open, and the Benalla Community Services Hub would still be in operation – and there would still be money left over for other crucial local projects.
Sadly, the financial recklessness will continue as the Premier has signed multi-billion contracts for the Suburban Rail Loop – another mega-project for the city.
Premier Allan can’t manage money, can’t manage projects and it is regional Victorians who pay the price.
