The Victorian Liberal Party will run a candidate in the Mulgrave byelection on November 18 because we want to give the people of Mulgrave a choice.
We want to give the people of Mulgrave an alternative to a tired, corrupt and incompetent Labor Government which is mired in integrity scandals and continues to waste billions of dollars on major project budget blowouts.
A Labor Government that can’t manage money and now wants to tax visits to the doctor that will smash bulk billing and jack up out-of-pocket costs for GP consultations.
A Labor Government that has become so arrogant that it refused this week to refund drivers who paid the Electric Vehicle Tax after the High Court ruled it unlawful.
A Labor Government that now makes Victorians pay the highest taxes in Australia and has introduced 53 new or increased taxes since coming to office in 2014.
A Labor Government that is putting education out of reach for Victorian families because of its Schools Tax.
We need to lower taxes and get the cost of living down, not add to the cost burden with new taxes and higher debt.
We need to get hospitals and our emergency departments working as they should. We need to make education more affordable, we need to fix our roads and we need to make communities feel safe.
On November 18 the people of Mulgrave will have a choice between a tired Labor Government or a new direction for Victoria.
