BREAKING: Victoria's state budget will be postponed by a month because of the federal election vicpol fedpol
Treasurer Tim Pallas on Friday said the budget would be held on May 27 instead of April 30 "due to the stark difference being offered to our state by federal Labor and the federal Liberals and Nationals".
"Until we know who we will be dealing with in Canberra, it would be irresponsible to finalise our budget," he said in a statement."Only one side is currently putting forward a real partnership with Victoria."Federal Labor is promising to partner with our state to roll out three-year old kinder, put more funding into our schools and hospitals, build the Suburban Rail Loop and properly fund the NDIS.
"In stark contrast, the Liberals are short-changing Victoria when it comes to infrastructure, clawing back money from our hospitals, not funding our schools fairly and hoarding money from the NDIS to prop up their bottom line."
