So the people who were apparently so worried about mental health last year are now campaigning against extra funding for mental health. Why might that be?
#VicBudget#springst
#vicbudget - record housing spend, free kinder, free TAFE and now an unprecedented spend to kick off a #genderequalrecovery. This is just the beginning. #springst
Some people might say that the cost of fixing our broken mental health system is too great – but we know that the cost of not fixing it is far greater #vicbudget#springst
Now *this* makes for excellent reading!
The #VICbudget is an equitable, supportive and progressive set of numbers, for all of Victoria, as we move to recover and rebuild after the toughest year imaginable.
The work goes on...
So Victorian Labor's election platform will be focused on infrastructure for the future and accessible education..
The liberals campaign will perpetuate the 'African gangs' story and claim Victoria is unsafe.
The contrasting ideas of hope vs fear

New Zealand's new car market is 1/3 Victoria's. Yet their government just announced 10x as much in incentives for electric cars... all while exempting EVs from their road user charge (temporarily). #vicbudget
Andrews Government free tafe courses will revolutionise young peoples lives. Young kids lost, unemployed and those who fall into crime. They now have opportunity. This is what Labor govts do. #SpringSt#Budget2018#VicBudget#auspol
Annoucnent re Renewable Energy #VICbudget
What's in it: six Renewable Energy Zones, offshore wind, new tech eg hydrogen, community energy, household efficiency measures, EV charging stations +

We work every day to keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children out of prison, but the Andrews Government chose not to give us the funding we need to help all the children who need us.

Tim Pallas delivers a typical Labor budget for Victoria:
1) A huge deficit & record debt
2) New & increased taxes
3) High unemployment
4) A cash splash to support unionised industries
5) Nothing to tackle soaring crime
6) Nothing for regional Victoria

We're pleased that $30m of the #VicBudget has been invested into community-based mental health programs. Part of this should be tailored for migrant and refugee women so that they are actively and equitably included in mental health reforms #MentalHealth🔗http://ow.ly/Js6l50IXBfa
