Just a friendly reminder, Mick Gatto endorses Jacinta Allan.

https://t.co/9TqlndXHvk “Eleven of the biggest infrastructure projects in Victoria – including the multibillion-dollar Suburban Rail Loop and North East Link – are now the subject of 56 separate allegations of fraud, corruption” Hey Premier, you should take note. #springst

Today, Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny failed to explain how a single home will actually be delivered under Labor’s housing plan. Construction costs are too high, taxes keep rising, and the numbers simply don’t stack up. Victorians can’t live in a planning permit.

Victorians are sick of governments announcing inquiries and reviews while failing to protect communities and uphold the law.

Leadership means action. Not excuses.

What’s the point of a Royal Commission into antisemitism if violent offenders hunting Jews face no real consequences?

A teenager accused of 109 offences, including alleged antisemitic attacks and serious violent crimes, walks free without conviction.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Labor keeps treating housing like a tax cash cow to prop up their budgets.

Already the cost to build a home in Vic is around 43% taxes and charges

You can’t tax your way out of a housing crisis. We will build more homes through faster approvals and lower taxes.

Why not Melbourne or Victoria?

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

After months of pressure Labor has finally dumped its outrageous minimum financial requirements that would have crippled small business builders and send the cost of building a home through the roof.

Now the Gov must pause the rest of the Bill and properly consult with industry.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Losing the Aus Open golf is a huge blow to Victoria’s reputation and visitor economy.

These major events drive tourism, support local jobs and showcase our state to a global audience. Yet under Labor, Victoria is watching iconic events slip away to interstate rivals.

@heidimur They must be some “awesome” plans. No one believes Jacinta Allan will deliver for electrification Melton.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Victoria has slipped to 5th on the @HIA_au Housing Scorecard.

With another Labor Budget looming, builders, renters and buyers face more pain. You can’t tax your way to more homes. #springst @hia_vic

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

RC interim Report, misses the real issue. Leadership failure.
For a decade Labor weakened move-on laws and blocked every attempt to restore them, giving free rein for haters to hound and terrorise Jews.
Laws should prevent harm, not enable it.

We want every Victorian to have the best opportunity to own their own home, but that simply won’t happen if projects can’t get off the ground.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

The Allan Labor Government just passed a bill that will result in higher costs and more red tape for builders.

In the midst of a housing crisis, Labor is pressing ahead with reforms that will make homes up to 30 per cent more expensive.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Labor just voted down a cross-party Bill to allow Victoria’s integrity agency (IBAC) to track down the $15 billion from the worst corruption scandal in Victoria’s history.

What does Labor have to hide?

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

What is Jacinta Allan hiding?

Victorians deserve answers and they deserve their $15 billion back.

[James Newbury MP @newbury3186]

Jacinta Allan has just voted in Parliament against giving the chief anti-corruption agency the powers it has asked for to clean up corruption.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Today marks a significant step towards freedom for the Iranian people.

This regime brutalised its own citizens and extended terror to Australia, including the firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne.

We stand with the Iranian people and all who reject terror.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

We want every Victorian to have the opportunity to own their own home.

Under Labor, fewer homes are being built than a decade ago. That means higher prices, higher rents and less choice.

We have a clear plan to deliver more homes, more choice and greater affordability.

[David Southwick MP @SouthwickMP]

Fewer homes means higher prices,

5 out of 6 proposed homes will not be built because the costs are too high.

Victorians deserve the chance to find an affordable place to call home

Victoria has lost the Phillip Island MotoGP after nearly 30 years because this government took its eye off the ball and failed to lock in a new contract.

This is a massive blow to our tourism industry, local jobs and small businesses that rely on major events.
