Description:
In Premier Jacinta Allan's first budget as leader, several major projects have been delayed, contributing to an underwhelming response to the state budget. While there is a notable relief measure—a financial sweetener for parents of state school children—the budget primarily comprises tough measures, including shelved projects and programs, leading to unfulfilled election promises. Treasurer Tim Pallas, in his tenth budget, attempts to balance providing some relief to Victorian families with addressing the state's escalating net debt, which continues to grow despite the cuts. State Political Reporter Richard Willingham provides an in-depth look at these developments.
