The reported deficits follow confirmation the Allan Labor Government is struggling to pay its bills on time, with approximately one-in-five or 378,382 Victorian Government invoices valued under $3 million paid late across 2024-25.

Following a decade of financial mismanagement under Labor, Victoria's net debt is growing by $2 million an hour and is expected to exceed $194 billion by 2028-29.

Shadow Treasurer Jess Wilson said: "The financial position of Victoria's public agencies has become a sea of red under Labor.

"These losses mean poorer services and higher charges and are the direct result of the Allan Labor Government's gross mismanagement across all areas of service delivery.

"With net debt growing by $2 million an hour, this multi-billion-dollar deficit will only add further pressure to Victoria's rapidly deteriorating budget bottom line.

"Victorians deserve well managed frontline agencies that can deliver the services the community expects in a financially sustainable way."

Shadow Finance Minister Bridget Vallence said: "Billions in losses across Victoria's public sector highlights the entrenched financial mismanagement of the Allan Labor Government.

"It's a disgrace that Labor tried to hide these deficits by dumping more than 250 financial reports on the one day.

"Labor cannot continue to spend beyond its means and ignore the long-term consequences for Victorians.

"The Liberals and Nationals will restore responsible financial management to fix the budget and ease the cost of living for Victorians. It's time for a fresh start."
