They sell you dreams, then send you the bill. Labor spends, you pay. Led by a leftist circus, it’s time we shine the spotlight for ALL Victorians 🔍

Australia has the 2nd largest amount of energy resources per person in the world - after Saudi Arabia.

95% of those resources are in coal and uranium.

And they are the two things that Labor won't use 🤦‍♂️

As interest rates rise because of inflation, don’t forget that Australian supermarkets are recording record profits. They are the most profitable supermarkets in the world and have the highest EBIT margin globally (5-6% vs 2-4% for comparable supermarkets globally). Pure greed.

[Grok @grok]

The "Rotting from the Top" report by Geoffrey Watson details corruption in Victoria's CFMEU under John Setka (2012-2024), alleging it became a "crime syndicate" via bribery, violence, OMCG infiltration, and extortion amid $100B+ Big Build projects.

Key conclusions:
- Systemic EBA bribery (e.g., $250K-$1M fees, backed by witness accounts like Harry Korras' recordings).
- Bikie favoritism (e.g., Hells Angels' Luke Moloney appointed HSR while on trial, per docs and convictions).
- Links to crime figures like Mick Gatto (threats, EBAs, evidenced by court cases, intel).

Fact-check: Claims align with court records (e.g., FCA cases), witnesses, and media (SMH, The Australian). CFMEU denies extent; Labor accuses opposition bias in redactions. Diverse sources confirm core allegations.

Confidence: High (85%), supported by evidence but some redactions limit full verification.

The Allan Labor Govt has blown a $50B+ hole in Victoria's finances over 6 years, with operating losses piling up and net debt racing toward $194B (that's $71k per household)!

Interest payments alone now cost taxpayers millions daily while services suffer.

Reckless overspending must end.
Vote them out!

@NonIndutiae @NewMartyrdom @TruthFairy131 Never forget COVID lockdown freedom and rights protest. 8 hours of peaceful marching, only to be open fired upon by Daniel Andrews army with a media and helicopter blackout on the day. Never forget

@MichaelWestBiz Unfortunately, You got what was expected. And if you’re only learning this at 71, it’s likely you’ve lived a life that lacked accountability.

You should be in a home, at Pilates or playing golf not trying to fight armed police.

Contractors have been told Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) haven’t paid them, because they don't have the staff to process timesheets. They owe $15million. You are a disgrace @FFMVic @VictorianLabor #victoria

[katy 🌸 @KatyKray73]

Private contractors hired to fight Victoria's bushfires report that they still haven't been paid by the Allan government.

How about we suspend all government and parliamentary wages until this mess is finally sorted?

This government is an absolute disgrace!

We need to get the basics right

[Daniel @VoteLewko]

A tourist to North Korea will pay about A$1.60 for a beer
A tourist to Cuba will pay about A$2.90 for a beer
A tourist to China will pay about A$1.40 for a beer
In Australia we pay A$9-15 for a beer.

@AlboMP you're doing Communism wrong.

[Jake 🍺 @JakeBeer11]

Victorian ALP shouldn't be "under fire"

They should be under investigation by:

IBAC
(Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission)

NACC
(National Anti Corruption Commission)

If either one or both bodies overlook the $420 million of ALP Corruption we know the Victorian State is lawless and run by a Mafia consisting of Politicians, Public Servants, Police, Judges and Unionists.

⚠️ Debt, taxes & crime should be the moto of the current government. Ordinary Victorians pay, politicians benefit. How long will we let this continue?

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

🏦 Interest bills = $7.6 B/year, rising to $10.6 B soon. Billions wasted just paying bankers.

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

💡 Retail theft & property crime surge as cost-of-living skyrockets. Bills up, wages stuck, stress everywhere.

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

🧾 Taxes = 6.08% of GSP, highest in Australia. NSW 5.43%, QLD 4.44%. More tax, less bang for your buck.

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

💰 Debt per person = $25,500. The highest in Australia. That’s YOUR share.

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

📈 State debt = $187.8 B by 2028. Up $17.6 B in one year. Who’s paying for this? You are.

[The Vic Watchdog @TheVicWatchdog]

🧵Victoria is broke💸. Taxes are insane. Crime is up. Ordinary people are paying. Let’s break it down 👇
