Letter to the editor
Every Victorian deserves to know how, and where, their money is spent.
Integrity and transparency should be paramount, yet right now we are living through the wasteful, dishonest financial management of the Allan Labor Government.
The Nationals are making a stand with the freshly-released Our Plan For Financial Integrity.
The plan is simple: We will manage your money better so we can deliver what really matters to you.
In a first for any state, we will deliver a Charter for Budget Honesty, ensuring every budget is transparent with clear, enforceable rules that hold the government accountable for every dollar spent.
We will also give you the power to track your money, and where it’s spent, in real time through what we are calling a Public Expenditure Tracker. It’s your money and it should be your right.
Another cornerstone is an Intergenerational Report, akin to a financial roadmap, released every five years so future generations aren’t burdened by the decisions of today.
We’ll take away the financial tricks and hidden costs.
You deserve it.
Peter Walsh MP
Leader of The Nationals
