Dear Editor,
It’s one year this week since Jacinta Allan took over as Premier – but there’s nothing to celebrate.
Premier Allan has overseen a growing list of mis-steps and broken promises. A list so long, it’s difficult where to start.
Labor promised to build 80,000 homes a year for 10 years, but one year on under the Premier’s watch, only 56,000 have been delivered.
Regional Victorians are being silenced as their right to object to renewable projects is ripped away.
Premier Allan is forging ahead with regional health mega-mergers and budget cuts, despite trying to spin her way out of the crisis.
Premier Allan oversees the cost of the Metro Tunnel project exploding from a promised $9 billion to $13.3 billion. Another $4 billion.
As costs for major inner-city projects spiral out of control, state debt is set to soar to an eye-watering $187.8 billion … that’s $1 million an hour of interest repayments.
And despite contributing 25 per cent of the state’s population, regional Victoria receives just over 10 per cent of total infrastructure spending.
Labor and Premier Allan can’t manage money and regional Victorians are paying the price.
