Victorians to pay the highest property tax rates in the country according to report
A report from Victoria's Parliamentary Budget Office, commissioned by the state opposition, shows Victorians will pay around $450 more property tax than people in New South Wales next financial year.

ABC really buried the lede on this one:
"Using the latest ABS data on overall tax, Victoria remains the second-lowest revenue state in the nation."
High levels of infrastructure spending = eventually, high levels of tax. A "big build" is not a "free build".
And infrastructure spending is almost certainly needed, so that isn't much of a point to argue on either. What the opposition should be asking is whether the right infrastructure is being built, as that will ultimately determine whether we get an improved standard of living out of it rather than just a big tax bill.
