Our ten year economic plan.

This is money that should be funding more police, nurses and teachers, more resources for our ambos and firies and building roads, hospitals and schools to match our growing population.

Our Plan returns Victoria to a cash surplus by 2032, stopping debt from rising further and beginning the long process of paying it down. We will do this by:

• Ending Labor’s waste, such as $13 million spent on machete bins and $200,000 on pot plants for the Suburban Rail Loop Authority
• Pursuing the $15 billion funnelled off the Big Build and cleaning up corruption on government projects
• Saving $22 billion by implementing a hiring freeze on back office roles to ensure funding reaches the essential services that Victorians rely on
• Saving $1 billion over the next 10 years by repealing Labor’s Treaty process and First People’s Assembly
• Saving $20 million over a decade by capping excessive public service salaries
• Using windfall revenue to pay down debt, not increase spending
• Fixing infrastructure delivery and ending cost blowouts that have become routine rather than the exception
• Shifting from debt funded megaprojects to local, community focused infrastructure that delivers real value

This is how we reduce debt. Not by asking families to pay more, but by restoring financial discipline and making government work better.

We will reverse that by delivering real, practical cost of living relief:

• Scrapping the Emergency Services Tax on the family home
• Exempting first home buyers from stamp duty up to $1 million
• Land tax relief
• Abolishing the Schools Tax
• Removing the GP Tax

These measures are not giveaways. They are investments in our people, their ability to manage work and family life and to save them time and money.

I am focused on delivering real, immediate and lasting cost of living relief for Victorian families that makes a difference.

When families prosper, the economy prospers.

Our Plan for financial integrity will deliver:

• A legislated Charter of Budget Honesty, requiring governments to deliver clear, accurate financial reports to restore trust in government and ensure financial accountability
• A real time Public Spending Tracker to allow you to see where your money is being spent, giving you confidence that your hard-earned money is being used on the services and projects that matter to you
• A Victorian-first Intergenerational Report to provide a long-term view of our economic health

We will be open and honest and manage your money responsibly.

We will:

• Deliver payroll tax relief to Victorian businesses
• Reduce the burden of land tax
• Reduce red tape that slows investment and stifles innovation
• Drive investment and jobs

This will unlock private investment, drive job creation, and rebuild confidence in Victoria.

I will make Victoria the easiest and most competitive place in Australia to start and grow a business.

When businesses grow, jobs grow. When jobs grow, communities thrive.

Poor planning has restricted the supply of land and government has been too slow with supporting infrastructure, like roads, sewerage and electricity. We will:

• Exempt first home buyers from stamp duty up to $1 million
• Expand the Capital City Zone to support sensible density
• Release land in growth areas
• Scrap government regulations that are stopping home building in greenfield areas
• Stop the delays in the planning process and set a clear timeframe for approvals

Instead of taxing housing, we will build more of it, restoring the dream of home ownership to support our growing population.

We will:

• Equip Victoria for the future with advanced jobs in manufacturing and technology
• Align training with the needs of industry
• Reintroduce proper Technical Colleges
• Create an Accelerating Apprenticeships Fund

Prosperity depends on skills, and skills depend on a training system that works. That’s why we will reintroduce proper Technical Colleges in Victoria and create an Accelerating Apprenticeships Fund, which will back young Victorians and support businesses to hire more apprentices to address the critical skills shortages.

A strong economy is built not just on infrastructure, but on people.

At least $15 billion in taxpayer funds has been lost, misused, or redirected to bikies and organised crime on Labor’s “Big Build” sites. This “corruption tax” has cost Victorians $5,000 per household.

Labor has also dropped the ball on the basics that matter to daily life: the state of our local roads, congestion, potholes and local services. We will:

• Ensure transparency on every project to deliver value for money
• Introduce an open and honest prioritisation framework
• Focus on local roads, local congestion, and local services
• Ensure Growth Area Infrastructure Contributions are re-invested into the local communities they are raised from

Infrastructure must serve people, not headlines. It must improve lives, not political outcomes.

We will:

• Improve grid reliability by establishing an Energy Security Requirement for Victoria
• Deliver Victorian gas for Victorians by throwing open the doors to gas exploration
• Ease cost-of-living pressures and restore energy choice by scrapping Labor’s gas appliance ban
• Establish new Urban Solar Parks

Energy policy must be practical, balanced and focused on reliability. That’s why we will restore energy security, protect consumer choice and manage the transition to renewable energy responsibly, while keeping costs down for Victorian households and businesses.

Without reliable energy, every job, every business, and every household suffers.
