The Labor Choice

  • Unchecked debt accumulation

    • State debt is hurtling toward $200 billion by 2030

    • Soon, $30 million every single day to cover the interest bill instead of funding local schools and hospitals.

  • Mega-project blowouts

    • Poor oversight, corruption and massive cost overruns.

    • Commuting and residential nightmares.

    • Essential services starved to cover budget black holes.

  • Punishing tax reliance

    • Punishes small businesses and stifles local growth

  • Election year band-aids

    • Millions poured into short-term voter handouts.

    • Recent anti-corruption reforms are too little, too late!

The Libral/Coalition Choice

  • Budget austerity and destructive service pressures

    • Rigid 10-year plan to surplus means no new teachers, nurses or police; more pressure on existing services.

  • Tax breaks skewed to the top

    • Increased land and payroll tax thresholds rewards property developers and large investors

    • Zero immediate relief for renters and families.

  • Hundreds of millions to be wasted on sunk costs

    • Threatening to halt or renegotiate already-signed infrastructure contracts guarantees massive legal penalties.

    • Delays mean local communities stuck in endless construction zones.

  • Untested and divided

    • Factional infighting and frontbench inexperience; unprepared to deliver the governance Victoria needs!
