The Albanese Government passed down its 2026/27 budget overnight, but it’s been slammed by the Federal Member for Wannon, who accused it of imposing more taxes on the Australian people.
The MP has also expressed the budget as city-centric, singling out funding for the Victorian State Government’s suburban rail loop as taking priority over crumbling regional roads.
Dan believes that the billions of dollars allocated to help that particular project could have gone a long way in helping fund urgent road repairs across the state, and of course, in Wannon.
Aside from the lack of funding for roads, the decision to drop crucial funding to repairing blackspots in rural areas is also a slap in the face to regional Australians.
Watch Dan’s full interview below.
