Dear Editor,
While the federal election is not far away, the next state election is not until November 2026.
After a decade of Labor in Government, there’s a lot of issues to fix.
Crime rates are skyrocketing, bail laws need urgent reform, and there’s over 1000 vacancies in our police force.
State debt is soaring, fast approaching $26 million every day in interest and major government projects continue to blow out.
Increased regulations and property taxes are contributing to Victoria’s housing crisis, with nearly 64,000 families in need of a home.
Improved V/Line train services and bus routes are needed across Victoria, yet the Government continues down the Suburban Rail Loop gravy train.
Regional roads are falling apart, despite most fatalities occurring in regional areas.
Hospital waiting lists are blowing out, and ambulance ramping has become the norm.
School attendance is at record lows, and we have a significant teacher shortage in regional areas.
A recent survey by IBAC of public sector employees, across 10 departments and over 100 other major public sector agencies, revealed concerns about corruption within the public sector.
If you look at the recent byelections, change is in the wind and Victoria desperately needs it.
Labor can’t manage money, and they can’t manage projects, and Victorians are paying the price.
A week is a long time in politics, and there’s still over 80 weeks to go until the next state election.
Yours sincerely,
Gaelle Broad MP
The Nationals’ State Member for Northern Victoria
