Victorian government debt binge is crazy - ignore the made-up "net" numbers, the only thing that matters are the gross, or actual, debt figures...In 2019 Victoria’s public sector owed $54bn. By 2028 it will owe $257bn. That is $34,500 for every man, woman and child in the state, up from $8,200. The interest bill alone hits $8.9bn a year in 2026-27 and $11.8bn by the end of the decade. NSW is not far behind: $59bn to $243bn, or $27,300 a head. Queensland goes from $68bn to $184bn, $30,900 a head once you count its state-owned power and water companies. Three states, half a trillion dollars of new debt in under a decade, and the projections still have the lines pointing up. Someone has to pay for this, and it will be the next generation of taxpayers. Figures are non-financial public sector borrowings at 30 June, from state budget papers and audited outcomes; 2026 to 2028 are budget projections. #StateDebt #Victoria #NSW #Queensland #AustralianEconomy #Budget #Debt

That's $20 a week. That's nothing. Utterly pointless. There's no amount of tax you can cut to make the cost of living better because paying too much tax is not the thing that's wrong. Prices of everything need to go down and wages need to go up. By like 30%.

Stop taxpayer funded infrastructure builds in Victoria right now. Complete overhaul needed. Andrews billionaire mates and union buddies as well as massive multi national companies are the only ones who have benefitted,

The official opening of the new Western Sydney Airport is a good time to reflect on the importance of actually making decisions and getting things done. Successive governments had been talking about Sydney’s second airport since the early 1970s. With Sydney one of the few major cities in the world without a serious second airport, it was the decision to build Badgery’s Creek, announced in April 2014, that was transformative — first because it ended almost five decades of procrastination; and second, because there was also $3 billion in road infrastructure to ensure that the new Western Sydney airport, once open, already had the necessary transport links with the rest of the city. Thanks to Westconnex and the new M12 motorway, my trip from the CBD to the new airport took just 40 minutes without a traffic light!

I have been continously and steadfastly loyal to President Trump for over 10 years Yet I feel guilty for being deceived in the past by grifters that President Trump warned me about The solution's clear: I must be even more loyal to President Donald J Trump
