Vic Libs shooting themselves in the foot once again. What a rabble!
Only you and possibly 65 could find humour in Victoria’s current situation.
You do realise the state is stuffed don’t you?
Completely stuffed. On the credit watch list and the laughing stock of the country.
You must be so proud of the job being done.
Talk about parroting media-fed over-dramatics and hysterics

Victoria was the second highest state in terms of growth in business investment of the past 12 months.
A growth rate up 12% since 2021 compared to NSW’s 8.1% growth and the 9.4% growth of Australia’s GDP.
Low unemployment and high participation rate albeit that's happening nationally.
A likely return to budget surplus by 2026.
CommSec regularly has Victoria in the top 4 of the 8 states & territories in its quarterly reports on each state's economy.
Credit rating agencies most recent outlook has Victoria as stable.
NSW is also going to hit $200b in gross state debt by 2028 but because most of that is due to the previous NSW LNP govt you haven't heard boo from the media about it. Yes, debt is a significant issue for both states and both have had cost overruns on major projects due to supply chain shortage driven inflation, but they are both funding necessary massive infrastructure and urban re-shaping programs. The main difference is that in NSW both sides of politics are pro-rail so there's mostly continuity in terms of planning and construction even when governments change. Not like here in Victoria where the Vic LNP rabble are anti-rail and still live in a 1950-60s time-warp. If the Vic LNP had started building the Metro Tunnel like they had promised to in 2010 then not only would it have been finished but they would not have lost the 2014 state election.
