Victoria can't afford Wilson's cuts

Liberal cuts.

In Victoria, Jess Wilson and the Liberals have announced a plan to cut $40 billion from the frontline services that you and your family rely on.

So far, the Liberals have already announced their plan to:

  • Cut schools
  • Cut teachers
  • Cut hospitals
  • Cut nurses
  • Cut police

There is just no way to cut $40 billion from the state budget without cutting the front-line services Victorians rely on.

Cutting too hard and too fast wrecks frontline services, reduces jobs and shrinks our economy.

That's not responsible – it’s just ruthless.

Part of their plan is cutting 1 in 7 public servant’s jobs – that includes health workers, disability workers, child protection officers.

You can bet there’s more to come, because if there’s one thing the Victorian Liberals know how to do, it’s cut, cut, cut — and make you pay.

The Liberals and Nationals have a plan to sack regional workers

Announced:

29 May 2026

Jess Wilson and her junior partners in the Nationals have announced how their cut plan will hurt our regions.

The Liberals and Nationals will slash 1 in 7 public servants – directly impacting services in our regions with at least 1,500 workers across regional Victoria being cut.

Across Victoria this cuts plan means:

  • More than 430 workers would go in Geelong and the Barwon South-West region
  • More than 350 workers would be ripped out of Ballarat and the Grampians region.
  • More than 260 workers would be cut in Bendigo and the Loddon-Mallee region.
  • More than 230 workers would be slashed in Gippsland.
  • More than 200 workers would be axed in Wodonga and the Hume Region.

'Wreak havoc': could Liberal's plan see hundreds of Ballarat jobs disappear?

The Liberals have a $11.1 billion plan for cuts — and you'll be the one paying for it.

Announced:

28 October 2025

Jess Wilson and the Liberals have promised to cut taxes for business and property owners to the tune of $11 billion dollars.

We know what that means: They'll fund this by doing what the Liberals do best — cut from schools, cut from hospitals and cut from police.

The Liberals will cut publicly-owned renewable energy and increase your power bills.

Announced:

7 January 2025

The State Electricity Commission (SEC) drives down power bills, building publicly-owned renewable energy for Victorians.

The Liberals sold it off under Jeff Kennett in the 1990s, Labor has brought it back.

The Liberals will abolish it, again.

Brad Battin said “the SEC is gone if we win.”

We know what that means: Higher power prices for families, bigger profits for overseas corporations.

Battin vows to scrap electricity commission, names shadow cabinet

The Liberals will cut public transport and make congestion worse.

Announced:

24 March 2025

The Suburban Rail Loop will slash traffic congestion and transform our public transport system, as well as delivering more transport, more homes and more jobs.

The Liberals have announced they will cut it- even though the underground rail line is currently under construction.

We know what that means: More time stuck in traffic, and less time at home.

The Liberals will cut new homes for young people in the middle of a housing crisis.

Announced:

May 2025

The Labor Government in Victoria is delivering more townhouses and apartments where young people want to live, near train stations.

It’s about opening doors for young people to get into a home they can afford.

The Liberals will reverse it.

We know what that means: No change to the status quo, no end to the housing crisis.

Victoria's planning reforms could help solve the housing crisis. But they are under threat.

They’ve done it before, they’ll do it again.

The last time the Liberals were in office, they cut schools and hospitals and brought the TAFE system to its knees.

If Jess Wilson and the Liberals get their hands on power, they’ll do it all over again.

Cuts are in their DNA.

Under the last Liberal Government in Victoria, the Liberals:

  • Cut $1 billion from the health system and went to war with our nurses and paramedics
  • Cut more than $1 billion from our education system and left our kids and teachers behind
  • Made the biggest cut to TAFE in Victoria’s history, sacking staff and shutting campuses in the middle of a jobs crisis
  • Cut $130 million from Victoria Police and $66 million from fire services
  • Cut first home buyer grants and made it harder for young people to get into their first home

Nothing was spared.

They even cut Free Fruit Fridays in classrooms.

Liberals cut the services you rely on and leave you on your own.
