State opposition leader Jess Wilson has called out a “pure political move” made by the state Labor Party, whilst talking about tax reform and how to grow Victoria’s economy.

It comes as Treasurer Jaclyn Symes released the mid-year budget update, which delivered a surplus described as “wafer thin” by the opposition leader.

“The state’s finances continue to head in the wrong direction, and the treasurer and premier do not have a handle on it,” Ms Wilson told Jacqui Felgate.
