“The resignation of Daniel Andrews as Premier of Victoria marks a pivotal moment, offering an opportunity for a fresh start and renewed focus on the needs of all Victorians,” said National member for Shepparton, Kim O’Keeffe.
“Daniel Andrews has left a legacy of debt.
“The financial burden on Victorians has skyrocketed, with a $30 billion blowout in major city projects and over 50 new or increased taxes. State debt nears $200 billion, and interest is costing taxpayers over $10 million each day, while essential services like healthcare and education are in crisis.
“For the incoming Premier, Jacinta Allan, it is time for a reset and to govern for all Victorians. It is time to invest genuinely in regional Victoria, which has long been neglected.
“They must prioritise regional investment, revitalise our broken healthcare system, upgrade our infrastructure and crumbling roads, provide affordable housing and reliable energy, and invest in our region – not just in the city.
“Now is the time for change, for rebuilding Victoria for all Victorians, and I will fight for our fair share.”
