Government performance

Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (09:51): I think it is important to give people something to look forward to, and we are now just 19 weeks away from Christmas, which is fantastic. But even better, we are about 65 weeks away from the next state election, when the polling booths open. When I speak to people, they are very clear that they want to see a change of government, and I thought it was worth reminding them what our focus as the Liberals and Nationals is. We are all about creating jobs, supporting business and growing our economy. We want to build safer communities. We want to unlock home ownership and deliver affordable, accessible homes and deliver the services Victorians deserve. If elected to government, we will scrap the emergency services tax, the GP health tax, the Airbnb tax and the schools tax, restoring choice to Victorian parents, and we will also scrap stamp duty on homes up to $1 million for first home buyers. Labor have made Victoria the place you want to leave. Under a Liberal–National government, we want to make Victoria the place to live.
