Higher taxes and more debt to pay for Andrews' hollow health promises

Liberal Party Victoria

Daniel Andrews wants Victorians to believe that they can have their cake, and eat it too.

Victoria's debt is already forecast to be a staggering $167.5 billion by 2025 – the equivalent of New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania combined.

Five minutes before the election, Mr Andrews has now woken up to the health crisis he created, suddenly promising $1.34 billion in hospital infrastructure spending in the past few days.

At the same time Mr Andrews is foolishly persisting with his $35 billion Cheltenham to Box Hill rail line.

So the simple question is: where is your money coming from, Mr Andrews?

Higher taxes?

Or more debt – which inevitably means higher taxes?

That's the difference between our health Plan and Labor's promises: by reprioritising the funding from the Cheltenham to Box Hill rail line into health, we can fix the health system without raising taxes. Labor can't.
