Statement from the Leader of the Opposition, Brad Battin
Last night, Victorians saw the shocking truth – under Jacinta Allan's watch, taxpayer money is being funnelled straight from government projects into the hands of organised crime.
While hardworking Victorians struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table, Labor is allowing criminals to rake in millions from taxpayer-funded projects. The only people getting ahead under this government are bikies and crime bosses.
This isn't just incompetence – it's complicity. Labor has created a system that protects their mates while turning a blind eye to corruption and criminal infiltration on Victoria's biggest infrastructure projects.
Enough is enough. Victorians deserve a government that will stand up to corruption, crack down on organised crime, and protect their hard-earned money.
Jacinta Allan must take immediate action to clean up this mess and prove to Victorians that she isn't just a puppet for the CFMEU's powerbrokers and their links to organised crime. The hardworking men and women of the CFMEU deserve better than leadership that allows corruption to thrive at the top.
A government I lead will put an end to this farce. No more criminals profiting off the backs of honest Victorians. No more excuses. No more turning a blind eye.
It's time to restore responsible government and clean this mess up once and for all.
