Jess Wilson: Hands Off Our Public Services!

Victorians are already doing it tough.
Working people are already being crushed by rising mortgage repayments, grocery bills that keep climbing, and fuel prices that make every trip to work more expensive. Households are stretching every pay packet just to get by.
Now, instead of offering crucial cost-of-living relief, Jess Wilson and the Victorian Liberals are doing what they do best – vowing to slash 1 in 7 public sector jobs and rip $22 billion out of the services Victorians rely on every day.
And to add insult to injury, instead of telling workers to their faces, Jess Wilson delivered this announcement to her Big Business mates at a private 5 star hotel.
Why is this important?
These jobs aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet.
These are the workers who keep our trains running, deliver vital support to children and families, provide security in our prisons and correctional facilities, and keep our schools, hospitals and emergency services running smoothly.
Every public sector job cut means:
These are the workers who keep our trains running, deliver vital support to children and families, provide security in our prisons and correctional facilities, and keep our schools, hospitals and emergency services running smoothly.
Every public sector job cut means:
- longer wait times,
- fewer services,
- more pressure on already overstretched workers,
- and another family who will struggle to pay their bills
At a time when people are struggling to pay the mortgage and fill up the car, the Liberals’ first instinct is to cut jobs and services.
When the Liberals cut jobs and funding – it’s working families that pay.
Victorians deserve investment in strong public services — not cuts, privatisation, and job losses.
We call on Jess Wilson’s Liberal party to reverse this decision immediately.
Sign the petition & tell the Liberals to get their hands off our public services!
