    Typical Labor - using the COVID credit card of $25 billion in new state debt to pay for their old, bungled, blown out projects. Victorians get no new jobs, no new projects - just new debt.

    It’s on - likely to dip into new borrowings to back fill earlier & other major projects. incompetence billions in

    In Victoria, we've flattened the curve, but we've also flattened the economy. We need bold thinking to get Victoria back to work and back in business. Today I launched the Liberals and Nationals' plan to do just that. You can read our plan at:

    127,100 Victorians lost their jobs last month. In flattening the curve, we’ve flattened the economy. That’s why I’ve proposed a $1 billion fund to bring manufacturing home to Victoria. Let’s grow local jobs, promote R&D, back local innovation and get Vic back to work

    Min caught out in a lie on issues at Bendigo Victorian Pig Services Centre & now flat out refusing to speak about it. The closure of VPSC leaves its critical work producing vaccines on hold. Pork producers fearing it wont reopen & this doesnt help

    We're told it's hard to attract staff to Victoria's Pig Services Centre in Bendigo. But one applicant endured a four month application process last year. At the end, was told the position couldn't proceed due to doubts about the centre's future:

    Opp Leader calls to waive tax on payroll up to $10 million over next financial year.

    Sadly, shows Victoria suffered the biggest loss of jobs between March and April: 8.6% - the worst in the nation. The Andrews government has also imposed the harshest lockdown restrictions of any state. Victoria urgently needs a path out of Labor’s lockdown

    Tourism in regional Victoria is struggling through one of the toughest years on record, with the bushfire crisis and COVID-19 keeping people away. But small businesses in towns like Bright are finding ways to make it through to the other side.

    This “extension” is just a backdown. The original application process never said eligibility was restricted to certain industries. Thousands rejected and left with no support for weeks. This delay in support will be the finish for some small businesses.

    Extension of Victorian Government's Business Support Fund to businesses hard hit by COVID-19, regardless of their sector, will help more businesses survive and recover. Read ' media release >>
