Statement from Leader of the Opposition, Brad Battin
The Allan Labor Government continues to get its priorities wrong - and every Victorian is paying the price.
Victorians voted against a Voice to Parliament, and unlike Jacinta Allan I am listening. While the Premier pushes ahead with her ideological agenda, families are battling a cost-of-living crisis, surging crime, and a health system at breaking point.
Under Labor, Victoria continues to fail and fall behind when it comes to national agreements to close the gap or to address the over representation of indigenous people in the justice system. They have failed to address the disadvantage in health and education for indigenous Australians.
My focus remains in making lives better for all Victorians. The Liberals and Nationals' Break Bail, Face Jail policy will make us safer in our communities, scrapping 5 of Labor's taxes will put more money in your pocket and our economic policies will turn Victoria's perilous debt situation around.
We need a government focused on delivering outcomes - not chasing headlines.
The Victorian Liberal and Nationals will not support the treaty or a Voice to Parliament.
