VICTORIA CAN’T AFFORD TO RETURN LABOR TO POWER

CAN Victoria afford another Labor government?

Remember Victorian Premier John Cain Jr in the 1980s-90s and the mismanagement of former Attorney- General Rob Hulls? What about David LaFranchi, who allowed the Pyramid Building Society to trade above its securities and eventually go bust with debts of $2 billion?

Remember the Tricontinental Bank fiasco costing the taxpayers billions of dollars? Remember the collapse of Workcare and the VEDC costing us $450 million?

Cain and deputy Robert Fordham resigned and the International Monetary Fund dropped Victoria’s credit rating to three stars and making it more expensive to borrow money.

Then we had Steve Bracks and John Brumby spending $3.1 billion on a desalination plant that never produced a litre of water and still costs us $657 million a year.

Now we have Dan the money man who cancelled the east-west link just because it was the coalition’s idea, costing the taxpayers $1.1 billion.

Then he sells a 50-year lease on the Port of Melbourne for $9.7 billion. He is spending that in Melbourne on railway crossings; a sky train which is yet to carry a passenger but is already out of date; a tunnel where CFMEU workers are being paid $1800 a day on public holidays.

Dan is the man who climbed into bed with the communist UFVA to try and take over the CFA.

Remember the Red Shirts — the people paid with taxpayers’ money to canvas for Labor candidates before the last election? Labor’s response to being caught out was to then spend a further $1 million of public funds to defend the rort in court.

Now Danny boy is going to spend $1.24 billion on solar panels, another fiasco like the pink batts.

Dan is also going to spend $50 billion on Melbourne’s metro rail scheme, but we know it will probably end up costing $200 billion by 2050.

I repeat can Victoria afford another Labor government? Sam Scott
