维多利亚州用于转运、回收和社区计划的公共基金超过15亿美元仍未动用,引起人们对财政监督的担忧。 Over $1.5 billion in Victoria’s public funds for transit, recycling, and community programs remains unspent, raising concerns about fiscal oversight.

根据维多利亚州审计长办公室2024-25年的审计,维多利亚州在公共交通、回收利用和社区方案方面超过15亿美元的专项税仍未用完。 Over $1.5 billion in dedicated taxes for public transport, recycling, and community programs remains unspent in Victoria, according to the 2024–25 audit by the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office. 由于收入超过支出,包括可持续性信托基金和社区支助基金在内的信托基金余额大幅增长。 Trust fund balances, including the Sustainability Trust Fund and Community Support Fund, grew significantly due to revenue outpacing spending. 报告警告说,未动用资金可能掩盖财政风险,破坏公众信任,特别是因为增长区公共运输基金等基础设施基金达到6.376亿美元。 The report warns unspent funds may mask fiscal risks and undermine public trust, especially as infrastructure funds like the Growth Areas Public Transport Fund reached $637.6 million. 政府捍卫其财务管理,列举预计盈余和重大项目的进展,同时面临要求提高43亿美元大流行性债务偿还计划透明度的呼吁。 The government defends its financial management, citing a projected surplus and progress on major projects, while facing calls for greater transparency on a $4.3 billion pandemic debt repayment plan.
