VICTORIAN ELECTION RESULT

 

The Victorian election result is a sensational outcome for everyone who believes in a stronger, fairer Victoria.

 

Daniel Andrews and Labor offered Victorians a clear choice at this election. And Victorians have made a clear choice.

 

Daniel Andrews put forward a positive vision for Victoria’s future:

 

A leader who will end the ambo crisis. A leader who will fight for nurses, firies and teachers.

 

A leader who will fix our schools, save our TAFEs and secure the jobs of the future.

 

A leader who will take his orders from Victorians – not from Tony Abbott.

 

Victoria now has a state leader that will stand up to Tony Abbott.

 

There is no doubt Victorians used this election to send Tony Abbott a clear message – no GP Tax, no $100,000 degrees and no cuts to schools and hospitals. And no more lies.

 

Deemed “box office poison” by Victorian Liberals, Tony Abbott kept a low profile throughout the campaign but his unfair Budget was ever present.

 

Tonight's result proves people care about hospitals, schools, jobs, higher education and skills.

 

It also proves people aren't interested in tired old personal attacks, they're hungry for a positive plan for the future.

 

Daniel Andrews has made history in Victoria, but he couldn’t have done it without his amazing family and the support of his dedicated team, including thousands of volunteers.

 

I congratulate Premier-elect, Daniel Andrews and his team on this outstanding result.
