Weekend Open Forum
With so much to talk about there is no better place to kick-start the conversation than on our open forum.
The abandonment of the Commonwealth Games is an acknowledgment that socialist government policy has finally caught up with Victoria.
Socialism, even when it's pretending to be something else, always leads to shambles.
There is no more recent example of that than the state of the State of Victoria.
Premier Dan Andrews has been running a dictatorial socialist agenda with next to no opposition and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Not only is Victoria's debt forecast to climb past $171 billion in the next few years, they have imposed a string of new taxes and levies on their long suffering residents.
These include an additional $4.7 billion in property taxes, $3.9 billion in payroll taxes and a $3 billion mental health levy.
These taxes are in response to the financial damage the government caused during their draconian and idiotic COVID response measures.
On top of that, Victoria has nearly 10% of all working people (354,800) employed in the public sector.
The public sector is the only thing consistently growing in the state for the past four years!
