When Jess & her husband pop Santa’s gifts under their tree remember if the Libs have their way many public servants will be unemployed and services cut. @BenCarrollMP

Economists say there’s a $9 billion hole in Jess Wilson’s budget - yet her only response is to say they’re “wrong”.

CPI inflation rose to 4.3%. Transport +8.7% (fuel +23.6%)
Not government spending: public demand added 0.1% to growth.
It’s Trump’s war: oil US$110, petrol $2.40, diesel $2.81.
The RBA’s fix? Higher rates for mortgage holders.
Monetary policy is broken.

Same dudes who protested on our streets with hangman’s nooses, pissed on our Shrine, spat in the faces of our health care workers & booed at Welcome to Country on Anzac Days now outraged by a group of kids protesting against Pauline Hanson on Remembrance Day.
Cry me a river.

You can buy a private school education at Strathcona for around 26,000 a year
But you can't buy class
Generally class is taught at home
Ben Carroll has class

Workers in hospitals deserve a safe shift. Every ward. Every hospital. Every day.
Jess Wilson’s Liberal–One Nation Coalition will cut $40 billion from frontline services – putting 31,700 jobs at risk, including nurses.
Labor will invest $1.5 billion to expand 12 EDs. More nurses, more beds and wait times cut by up to 20 per cent.
Good summary of a crazy first day of play.
This is one of the craziest days of Test cricket I have followed
1. Before play started:
Australia are mad. They have dropped Scott Boland, their best bowler of the previous Test, and have gone with a spin oriented attack.
2. At the toss:
Australia are insane. They have elected to bowl first after including two spinners in their attack.
3. At lunch:
Send for the straitjackets for the Aussies. Ackerman and Makram have smashed the Australian attack to all parts. South Africa are 140-0.
4. Shortly after tea
Send those straitjackets to South Africa. Some reckless batting has let the Australians back into it. 232-6.
5. Just before stumps.
Bad day for Australia after all. Rickelton and Jansen have got the South Africans to 327-6 with 95 run stand. 400 looks possible.
6. At stumps
You know, Australia might not be too unhappy with this. Starc takes the last four wickets for two runs to leave South Africa 329 all out.
Crazy batting by Ackerman, brilliant bowling by Starc, glorious drives by Markram, straight hits by Jansen, dropped sitters by Travis ahead…the day had it all.

Man this is cringe and disgusting behavior. Even players on opposing sports teams shake hands before and after matches and shit.
School prefect Liberal Jess Wilson shows her immaturity and arrogance. What a child.
Jess, some free advice for you. Look up the word HUMILITY and digest it.

The supposed ’next Premier of Victoria’ still appears more like the stuck-up school prefect at Strathcoma Girls Grammar. 👀

The new motto is 'drill baby drill'.
Jess Wilson has entirely walked away from the commitments she gave in 2022, and is just hoping that nobody notices.

The Victorian Liberal Party has proven for many years to be totally and utterly a dysfunctional rump, who spent most of their time deciding if Moira Deeming stayed in the party or taking legal action amongst each other.
Driving drunk and smashing into front fences and having lunch with underworld mob bosses.
If Jess Wilson does become Premier I predict here now, she won’t last the full term to the 2030 Victorian state election.

Under the VicLibs we will be Jeffed all over again.
Kennett sold 350 schools & 12 hospitals.
Over 45,000 public service & bureaucratic jobs were lost including 3,500 nurses. How appalling.
Wilson will do the same if not worse.
VicLibs =CUTS SLASH SACK mentality

Victorians need to remember how the Liberals treated us and cheated us out of infrastructure funding, Covid payments etc.
And here’s the thing:
Not one Liberal MP or Senator stood up for Victorians.
State or Federal, instead they cheered this on.
They haven’t changed.
Victoria was neglected by a Prime Minister from Sydney
After six years of missing out on its fair share of federal infrastructure funding under the Morrison/Frydenberg government, the contrast is clear: the federal government committed less than $5 billion, while the Andrews Labor Government invested $42.5 billion directly into Victoria.

Two of the major functions of the state government are
Health: States run public hospitals and the people who work in them.
Education: States run public schools and set curriculum and school policy. They also coordinate higher education
Do you trust One Nation with these?

These cuts have to come from teachers, nurses and frontline services Victorian families rely on.
This is just the beginning - under the Liberals Jess Wilson cuts and every Victorian pays.
