The Victorian Greens say that Labor would not need to cut public service that people rely on if the Government properly taxed the big banks and corporations.
It comes as the Allan government announces that up to 3,000 public jobs could be on the chopping block following a major review into the public sector.
The Victorian Greens say that it's essential that our public services are properly resourced to ensure they're operating as effectively and efficiently as possible and that services Victorians need shouldn't be compromised.
The Victorian Greens spokesperson for Economic Justice, Aiv Puglielli said that we wouldn't need to sacrifice the efficiency of our public services and no one would have to lose their jobs if Labor implemented the Greens plan to put a levy on the big banks.
As stated by the Victorian Greens spokesperson for Economic Justice, Aiv Puglielli:
"Labor should be ensuring the big banks pay their fair share of tax, rather than cutting public services that people rely on.
"I don't think it's reasonable that one big bank can rake in over $5 billion in profits in just six months while 3,000 public sector workers have their jobs on the chopping block."
