Victoria, suffering the effects of Danomics, for the foreseeable future.

I and many others in the country areas didn't vote for him.

Pallas has been there as treasurer for 10 years when will he take the blame for the absolute mess we are in? He and Andrews ran this State together Pallas should be shown the door and that's the least that should happen

[@dominicgalante-hx2fj]

Labor has fucked this state good and proper

Worst treasurer ever Our money wasted Future generations will pay

[@wwfgumby]

Not only future generations, we'll all be paying from this day forward.

Delaying the Aiport Rail link is idiotic. It is the one thing Melbourne desperately needs.

[@michaelr7883]

As was discussed, Melbourne Airport are standing in the way. If they want it built underground, they should cough up the excess

[@JamielDeAbrew]

Did you see the rail travel times? Almost the same from Southern Cross as SkyBus. What’s are the benefits? Victoria desperately needs more homes. Delaying infrastructure spending frees up: * labour to build houses (labour being workers as opposed to Labor, the political party). * building materials and machinery to be used on houses I’m not saying all infrastructure should be delayed, but rail to the airport definitely can be delayed.

MORE LIES GOVERNMENT HIGHER AND MORE TAXES AND FEES GOVERNMENT.

[@turningpointaustralia9531]

We must pay for immigrant welfare and feed all of Ukraine

[@brucerobinson3715]

If this bloke was in a private business he would be jailed for what him, Andrews and now the new clown have done and doing.

[@user-tq2kq7xk7j]

The expensive rail project/s should be suspended. The argument that the longer you leave to do a project the more expensive it becomes. The project is not needed now. This is a LABOR argument to justify the expenditure on their favourate projects they hope they will be remembered for. They will be remembered alright but not for good,

[@bringbackcommonsense528]

Disgusting cancel Dan Andrews pension & perks he is receiving from being in Govt. A heap of $$$ being spent in the city and nothing for the country people yet our roads & infrastructure needs to be upgraded & we are getting hit with extra costs to fund things that don't benefit us.

[@helen_3757]

Kick Pallas and Labor out, we can’t afford $10million/day in interest repayments on Victoria’s burgeoning debt.

[@wwfgumby]

Try 25 million a day.

[@luisrojas3315]

How can a state show a budget that is increasing debt year on year? This increase in debt and increase in taxes will cause companies to move away from Victoria. It is looking like a financial death spiral in the making for the state.

[@bringbackcommonsense528]

We are a failed state and have been for a few years. It is horrid what has become of this once great state.

[@carolejohnston9294]

I would have to ask the Treasurer how much did cost taxpayers to print those books on the budget.

[@JamielDeAbrew]

Doing all the big projects at once takes jobs away from the future.

[@user-tq2kq7xk7j]

And creates jobs for the present when there is insufficient labor and materials available.

[@JamielDeAbrew]

@@user-tq2kq7xk7j exactly. Delaying construction could free up labour and materials for the construction of housing.

[@wwfgumby]

Well, that confirms it, my 2 investment properties will now be sold. Sorry for my long term tenants but it's no longer an option to hold on.

[@user-xk2ky3kt4o]

THE MORE DEBT GOVERNMENT. 3:10

[@markjmaxwell9819]

I am definitely looking forward to the next Victorian state election. We didn't vote for Allan and she certainly hasn't got the vision that Andrews had with his progressive policies and his mega infrastructure projects combined with his arrogant can do no wrong attitude. The feasibility and cost of any type of infrastructure project in Melbourne was never an issue for Dan with the excessive state debt his legacy and his reputation as a Union basher well deserved. Allan is a completely different kettle of fish which should make for an interesting couple of years till the next state election. 😎🇦🇺

[@ricktasker4520]

Its going to take generations to even come close to pay off. To all those who voted this government, hope you are happy

[@maxineburdett-mcinnes3735]

why don't we adopt a similar system used to pay for Sydney Opera House by running a lottery ,it stopped once the opera house was paid for. A system similar could be used to finish all projects that have started but are unable to be completed due to lack of money of course it would have to designed to ensure that it was a set amount and not able to use it as a blank cheque for the Government to use as a blank check

THE BUDGET THAT WENT LIKE A LEAD BALLOON

[@carolejohnston9294]

Maybe Albo could cut down the taxpayers funds that he is giving Ukraine.. now that would be a big ask wouldn't it.

[@troywallace322]

Victoria will still vote in the ALP . ( Australian Losers Party). No matter what 😂

[@bringbackcommonsense528]

No we are still trying to work out how he won the last 2 times considering more people hated him and his party.

[@2mallikharjuna]

Victoria half of their budget is depend on Land tax+stamp duty, 😢

[@darthdeth5723]

Victoria is not a country. The Federal budget is in surplus.

[@student1821]

Get rid of the upgrades in the city which has turned melbourne into a construction site. Dan Andrews must be jailed for his mistakes , future generations will be paying this for years

[@lynndonharnell422]

Albo's bailout coming up

[@matthewpetherick921]

And the Dickhead labour supporters will think it was through the good management of that lowlife "C"**t Andrews

[@michaelr7883]

The broken promise??.. A hospital that can't be built because it would be unsafe to do so. Seems fair.

[@standupandbecounted972]

It's B.S.

The word surplus no longer exists in the Australian dictionary & vocabulary
