Andrews government’s ‘utterly disrespectful’ act towards struggling Victorian businesses

almost 3 years in news

Victorian Liberal MP Tim Smith says the Andrews government showed "complete and utter disrespect" to struggling small business owners and their staff by splurging $3.4 million of taxpayers' money on incentives and allowances on its own employees.

"The Andrews Labor government spent $3.4 million on pot plants, Uber Eats vouchers, working from home allowances, a brass quartet ... it's just immoral, it's fundamentally wrong," he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

"And it shows a complete and utter disrespect to the hundreds of thousands of Victorian small business owners and their staff who've done it so tough through five lockdowns."
