Government performance
Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (15:16): Under Labor, Victoria is declining into a state of disarray. As if our reputation was not trashed enough with the debacle of the Commonwealth Games under the management of the then minister responsible Jacinta Allan, now we are known as the gangster state, with corruption, bullying and intimidation. Those opposite may laugh at that, but that is what has been reported and that is what people think. You are all responsible for the corruption, the bullying and the intimidation by the CFMEU that is costing Victorian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars – billions of dollars – in project blowouts. It was Jacinta Allan who knew about the corruption, turned a blind eye and did nothing for over a decade. It is Jacinta Allan who is being held responsible, as the former minister and now the Premier, for this ongoing corruption. She has done nothing – turned a blind eye. Now it is the Premier who is also turning a blind eye to the health crisis, seeing funding cuts in health that are causing so much distress and so much stress in our health system, where we have got doctors, nurses and paramedics leaving the state, hospital ramping and serious issues with patients not being able to get the care that they deserve and need. It is Premier Allan who has presided over all of this chaos, corruption and incompetence, and every Victorian is paying the price.
