Government performance
Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (10:29): This week we celebrate an unfortunate anniversary for Victorians – 10 years of Labor failures. This includes Labor’s financial mess, which has landed Victoria’s state debt at a now estimated $268 billion, an increase of more than 1000 per cent since they came to office. It also includes a 1000 per cent increase in aggravated burglaries committed by young offenders in the last decade, all while there are over 1000 vacancies at Victoria Police. Under Labor the failure for Victorians is that they are facing the highest per-person taxes in Australia, with households more than $1000 worse off compared to New South Wales. Everything is up under Labor, turbocharged by 56 new or increased taxes and their economic mismanagement. It has been 10 years of Jacinta Allan and Labor in Victoria, and we are all paying the price.
