维多利亚的预算增加了47亿美元,削减了债务并预测了盈余,但面临超过109亿美元的未披露支出的批评。 Victoria’s budget improved by $4.7 billion, cutting debt and projecting a surplus, but faced criticism over $10.9 billion in undisclosed spending.

维多利亚州2024-25年预算显示有47亿美元的改善,将净债务减少到1 509亿美元,并将债务对GSP的减为23.7%,其驱动因素是来自家庭销售的税收增加以及未来基金和购房者计划的意外收益。 Victoria’s 2024-25 budget shows a $4.7 billion improvement, reducing net debt to $150.9 billion and lowering debt-to-GSP to 23.7%, driven by stronger tax revenue from home sales and windfalls from the Future Fund and Homebuyer Scheme. 国家预测2025-26年出现盈余,经济活动增加1.8%,商业投资增加1.2%。 The state projects a surplus from 2025-26, with economic activity up 1.8% and business investment growing 1.2%. 然而，109 亿美元是通过财政部长的预付款花费的——用于医院、交通、大奖赛和基础设施——引发了对透明度和问责制的批评，反对者称其为“贿赂基金”并敦促改革。 However, $10.9 billion was spent via treasurer’s advances—used for hospitals, transport, the Grand Prix, and infrastructure—sparking criticism over transparency and accountability, with opponents calling it a “slush fund” and urging reform. 政府将这一做法作为管理紧急项目的必要手段进行辩护。 The government defends the practice as necessary for managing urgent projects.
