What happened
The Victorian Greens launched a historic election campaign in Melbourne, committing to policies aimed at addressing cost-of-living pressures in Victoria. The party unveiled a plan that includes a $350 million pledge to trial 10 state-owned supermarkets for four years. These efforts coincided with treatment and fundraising activities at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Victoria.
Why it matters
The Greens' campaign proposes significant changes to the retail and public spending landscape. The state-owned supermarket plan is designed to offer essentials at a 30 per cent discount compared to major chains, potentially saving average Victorian households an estimated $4274 a year. The party also pledged $1 billion into community safety over four years.
