Family First exists to restore Australia by restoring the primacy of the family in public policy. This will be achieved through a grass roots political party which raises courageous voices in our nation’s parliaments. More details are available on our website: https://www.familyfirstparty.org.au/
KEY FACTS:
• The Allan government is advertising an ‘Equality Programs Manager’ role at up to $191,084 per year, plus superannuation.
• The role will help roll out $11.2 million in LGBTQIA+ programs from the state budget.
• Suburban Connect is advertising a ‘Social Inclusion Adviser’ for the $34.5bn SRL East project at up to $160,000.
• Victoria’s public sector wages bill has blown out by $7.2 billion since last year’s forecasts.
• State debt is heading toward $199.3 billion by 2030.
• Taxpayers spent $7,500 on Aboriginal art to decorate SRL tunnel boring machines that will be permanently buried underground.
• The Albanese government has committed $6 billion to the SRL, yet a multi-billion dollar funding black hole remains.
As state debt hurtles toward $200 billion, Jacinta Allan’s government is hiring ‘social inclusion’ advisers on six-figure salaries — paid for by hardworking Victorian taxpayers.
Victorian taxpayers are being slugged to fund diversity and inclusion adviser roles paying up to $191,000 a year — even as the state’s debt pile surges toward $200 billion and public sector jobs are being cut in a supposed ‘efficiency drive’.
The Allan government is advertising for an ‘Equality Programs Manager’ on a salary of up to $191,084 to help deliver $11.2 million in LGBTQIA+ programs announced in this month’s state budget. Meanwhile, the consortium behind the controversial $34.5 billion Suburban Rail Loop East project is seeking a ‘Social Inclusion Adviser’ on $140,000–$160,000 — a project which has already blown a multi-billion dollar funding black hole and spent $7,500 of public money on Aboriginal art to decorate tunnel boring machines that will be buried underground.
According to Family First’s Jane Foreman, this is economic recklessness of the highest order. Victorians are working harder than ever, paying more tax, and watching essential services stretched to breaking point — and this is what the Allan government does with their money
“Victorians are working harder than ever, paying more tax, and watching essential services stretched to breaking point — and this is what the Allan government does with their money.”
“Victorians are drowning in a $200 billion debt crisis, a wages blowout of $7.2 billion, and a cost-of-living crunch — yet the Allan government thinks the priority is hiring six-figure diversity bureaucrats. This is a government completely out of touch with the families struggling to pay their bills.”
“The Allan government cut 1,000 public sector jobs with one hand, and is now hiring woke bureaucrats on near-$200,000 salaries with the other. Victorians deserve better than this shameless waste.”
“Every dollar spent on a diversity tick-box exercise is a dollar not going to hospitals, schools, roads, or the police keeping our communities safe.”
