A choice that will determine the future of our state and the standard of living current and future generations will enjoy.
A choice between an old, tired, out of touch Labor Government that is failing Victorians or a new generation Liberal and Nationals team that will return pride and prosperity to our great State.
Over the past 11 years under Labor, Victoria has gone from a leading economy to a 'poor state' where three in every four Victorians believe we are heading in the wrong direction.
Victoria's rapidly deteriorating financial position is resulting in net debt growing by $2 million an hour and an interest bill that is heading for $29 million per day - meaning higher taxes and less money from the things that really matter.
The consequences of Labor's continued waste and reckless spending are real and they are serious.
Victoria has the highest unemployment, the highest taxes, the unprecedented debt, the worst credit rating and is the hardest place to do business of any state in the nation.
At the same time, crime is at an all-time high, more than 60,000 Victorians are waiting with their lives on hold for surgery and getting a foot on the property ladder has never been harder.
But it doesn't have to be this way. There is a better way.
Our team believes Victoria's best days are ahead of us and - together - we are fully focused on presenting a credible and optimistic alternative that Victorians want to vote for at the next election.
Our priorities are clear and focused on addressing the urgent needs of our community. An elected Wilson-O'Brien Liberal and Nationals Government will:
- Strengthen our economy to ease cost-of-living pressures.
- End the crime crisis and keep communities and families safe.
- Deliver a world-class health system Victorians can have confidence in.
- Give every Victorian the best opportunity to own their own home.
Leader of the Opposition, Jess Wilson, said: "Victoria is at a crossroads and there has never been a more urgent need for change.
"After 11 years of Labor, Victoria's living standards have fallen behind, everyday life is getting harder and pride in our state has been lost.
"My team's priorities are clear and focused: we are determined to restore hope for a better future - we will get our finances under control, end the crime crisis, deliver a world-class health system and ensure every Victorian has the best opportunity to own their own home.
"Every day over the next year, my team will listen to Victorians, develop genuine solutions to the challenges they face and work tirelessly to earn their trust."
Leader of The Nationals, Danny O'Brien, said: "Regional Victorians are tired of being treated as an afterthought. Our roads are falling apart, crime is rising, healthcare is harder to access and housing is increasingly out of reach. It's simply not good enough.
"Regional Victorians want a government that respects them, listens to them and delivers for them. A Liberals and Nationals Government will truly govern for the whole state and ensure regional Victorians finally get their fair share."
