PEULICH: Labor-Greens Coalition Bad for Casey

Acting leader of the Greens, Ellen Sandell has let the cat out of the bag about plans for the Greens
Party and Labor to form a coalition government.

Member for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, Inga Peulich MLC warned that the greening of
Labor will mean more traffic congestion, more violent crime and higher cost of living in Casey.

Over the past year, electricity prices in Casey have increased by $300 and under a Greens
influenced energy policy, energy prices would spiral out of control.

A Labor-Greens coalition also means an education curriculum that will become even more focused
on radical ideological and a social reform agenda, and less on literacy and numeracy.

At the last election, Daniel Andrews promised to tear up the East West Link contract promising it
wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. That lie to win Greens votes cost taxpayers $1.3 billion
-imagine how much money Daniel Andrews is prepared to waste at the next election to win
Greens support?

Casey households will have two clear choices this November - a stable Liberal-Nationals
Government with bold policies or a chaotic and dysfunctional Labor-Green government.

Quotes attributable to Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region, Inga Peulich, MLC:

“Casey’s rapid population growth mandates investment in infrastructure, but if given more
influence, the Greens will stall all future infrastructure projects like roads, putting Casey further
behind.”

“The Greens are more concerned with protecting criminals than protecting innocent victims, and
Labor would rather turn a blind eye to rising crime rates in Casey.”

“Only a Liberal Nationals government can address cost-of-living pressures, rising crime rates, and
infrastructure projects that Casey needs - if Labor and Greens win, Casey households lose.”
