Statement from the Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change

James Newbury, Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change

The chaos surrounding Parks Victoria under the Allan Labor Government continues.

In 2023-24, the Allan Labor Government cut $95 million from Parks Victoria and slashed staff numbers.

Following this cut, Labor has now admitted Parks Victoria’s “current operations need to be improved to meet community expectations”.

Victorians know Parks Victoria has been failing for years because the Allan Labor Government has been more interested in chasing Greens preferences than managing our natural environment properly.

Labor cannot manage money, cannot manage our environment and Victorians are paying the price.

James Newbury, Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change
