Residents across the Mildura electorate are just 100 days away from the opportunity to vote for a fresh start and a fairer deal for regional Victoria.
Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, said the November 28 election was a chance for families across the Mildura electorate to choose a government that would make regional Victoria a genuine priority.
“For too long, regional communities like ours have been treated as an afterthought by the Allan Labor Government.
“That changes with a Liberal and Nationals Government, with a commitment to put regional Victoria first and deliver the investment our communities deserve.
“The Nationals’ Fair Share Guarantee would direct at least 25 per cent of new infrastructure spending to regional Victoria, up from the current 12 per cent and matching the proportion of Victorians who live in regional communities.
“Regional Victoria should not have to fight for scraps. Our communities deserve their fair share of investment in the roads, health services, police and infrastructure we rely on.”
Among a host of recent announcements, The Nationals have committed to:
- Deliver a Fair Share Guarantee, directing at least 25 per cent of new infrastructure spending to regional Victoria
- Invest $5 billion to fix Victoria’s roads and eliminate one million potholes
- Upgrade Mildura Base Public Hospital, including an expanded emergency department, a new ward and staff accommodation
- Recruit 3,000 police to make communities safer and tackle rising crime
- Introduce tougher bail and sentencing laws, including Adult Time for Adult Crime
- Cancel VNI West
- Scrap Labor’s unfair emergency services tax
- Give farmers their rights back by scrapping Labor’s compulsory land access and acquisition laws
“Regional Victorians have waited long enough for their fair share. In 100 days, they can vote for a fresh start, a brighter future and a government that will finally put regional Victorians first.
“The choice is clear: a fair share for our regions, a fresh start for Victoria and a brighter future for every Victorian. That starts with electing The Nationals and Liberals to government on November 28.”
