Nationals’ Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, is launching a survey to gain a better understanding of how the cost-of-living crisis is biting regional Victorian household and business budgets.
The “Cost of Living Survey” is a series of short questions to help The Nationals learn more about the plight of hardworking regional Victorians to help us help you.
As families and businesses across the Mildura electorate continue to be slugged by the Andrews Labor Government’s growing list of taxes, many are struggling to make ends meet.
The Andrew Labor Government is on the cusp of introducing their 50th tax, despite the Premier telling Victorians he had no intention of raising taxes at all. It’s just another broken promise in a long string of letdowns.
Victoria is a financially broken state, and as fees and charges continue to soar, it is becoming more difficult to put food on the table with the average Victorian family grocery bill now $1565 more than last year.
Regional Victorians continue to pay more in taxes and charges, but are left with poor government services, a crumbling road network and growing medical waiting lists.
Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, said regional Victorians continue to be punished by Labor’s incompetence and it was time for the impact of their mismanagement to be pushed at State Parliament.
Families and businesses are encouraged to complete the survey, which will only take a few minutes of your time, at https://vicn.at/costofliving.
