Questions without notice and ministers statements
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:16): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. What is the SES base budget for 2025–26?
During a cost-of-living crisis, Victorians are being slugged an extra $3 billion in tax under the guise of supporting emergency services, yet the minister will not tell Victorians the budget for these same agencies. Will the minister now admit the government’s own figures published in the Government Gazette show those services are facing funding cuts while Victorians are hit with more tax?
