Nationals’ Member for Mildura Jade Benham says the Labor government in Victoria “can’t manage” the money or the health system.
Ms Benham told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that people in regional towns are “paying the price” for the government’s decisions.
“People are angry; they have had enough.”

@tonybloomfield5635 Ай бұрын

This is not just a Mildura/Mallee problem. I live in a Victorian town with a much smaller, yet equally important hospital where the Allan Government has just slashed our local hospital budget by about 30%. Not only does this impact disastrously on health services but also on employment and the general economic health of our town. This is happening right across the state and they intend to create regional health *_management_* groups and remove effective semi-autonomous management of local hospitals across the states' regions. This is clearly code for closures of hospitals and concentration of already poor and lacking services to areas far from where they are needed. This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the long-term plans for the destruction of regional Victoria by this cash strapped wasteful government. Victoria is paying somewhere in the ballpark of $26M each and every day in interest alone. But hey, we have traffic controllers making $200K+. My fellow Victorians just keep voting them back in. Go Figure!

All the Stalanist Socialists living in inner city Melbourne couldn't give a flying duck about country Victoria. Horsham Hospital was FORCED to amalgamate with Ballarat Hospital under the threat of losing funding. Horsham residents raised many hundreds of thousands of dollars for decades for their hospital and it was stripped from under them. This is going on everywhere in Victoria ALL DOWN TO LABOR ,,,,,,,,, Dan Andrews should be jailed.

Albo said, in September 2023, Mr Andrews has made “such a positive difference to the lives of Victorians”. “You can measure his contribution through nine years, three election victories, the last one with an increased majority,” he said. "But what you can really measure it on is the fact that he is a builder, he has built enormous infrastructure benefits for Victoria. "He has rebuilt a health system, a passion of his from his time as health minister and indeed during the pandemic as well.” Albanese has cheered on the destruction of Victoria, so I can't see him sorting anything out.

In Victoria's land, the tale unfolds, Of mismanaged funds and stories untold, Jade Benham speaks with fervent fire, Of a government’s faults, dire and dire. Labor’s hand, it cannot steer, Through health’s vast sea, or finance clear, In regional towns, the cries are loud, As anger rises from the crowd. “They can't manage,” Benham cries, “Money wasted, health system’s lies,” For in the rural, where hopes reside, Despair now shadows far and wide. Communities pay the heavy price, Of promises broken, and poor advice, The government’s choices, rash and cold, Leave hearts in pain, and dreams on hold. People’s patience, worn so thin, Their trust eroded, their voices in din, For in the heart of Mildura’s ground, A chorus of discontent is found. “Enough!” they shout, with voices clear, Of failed governance, they no longer cheer, For Labor’s path has led astray, Leaving regions in disarray. Hospitals struggle, in dire need, While funds are squandered, without heed, Benham’s words, a clarion call, To rise against this bitter thrall. In fields and towns, the anger grows, Against a government that only shows, A lack of care, a blind eye turned, While people’s pleas are harshly spurned. Victoria’s Labor, now exposed, For mismanagement, their flaws enclosed, May they heed the cry from Mildura’s lands, And mend the future with wiser hands. OddBall
