Victorian budget 2025: Top things you need to know, sectors that were winners and losers
The 2025-26 Victorian state budget, delivered by Australian treasurer Jaclyn Symes , promises to deliver on 'what matters most' with sweeping investments in health, schools and public transport. Some sectors, however, are left out in the cold. Symes revealed a massive $11.1 billion boost to health, a $5 billion public transport blitz, and a landmark commitment to free travel for young Victorians, as per the Guardian. Here are the winners and losing sectors of the 2025-26 budget Winners School goers and senior citizens From 2026, all Victorians under 18 will be able to travel on public transport for free, using a new $5 youth Myki card. The $318 million program is expected to benefit over one million children and save families up to $755 per child each year. Alongside children, seniors will also enjoy free public transport on weekends. School-aged children will see an increase in support for camps, sports and excursions, with eligible students receiving $400, up from $154 for primary and $256 for high school students. More than 65,000 Get Active Kids vouchers will be available for concession card holders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia alta? Pingue isso na água antes de dormir Saúde Melhor Idade Veja agora Undo Additionally, $1.5 billion has been allocated for new and expanded schools, and lower-income households will get a $100 energy rebate. Health sector The budget delivered a major $11.1 billion health funding boost, including $9.3 billion for hospitals and $634 million to open or upgrade nine hospitals across Victoria, among them Footscray, Craigieburn, Cranbourne and Phillip Island. Meanwhile, paramedics will receive $84 million in support, while emergency departments will benefit from $58 million aimed at cutting waiting times. A trial allowing pharmacists to treat UTIs and reissue contraceptives without a doctor's script will be expanded and made permanent. Pharmacists will now also be able to prescribe for allergies and high blood pressure. Travelling An almost $5 billion investment will see the Metro Tunnel "switch on" by the end of the year with $727 million committed, and $98.7 million will boost frequency on seven regional and metro train lines. Sunshine Station will receive a $4.1 billion upgrade as part of the Melbourne Airport Rail project, while $1 billion will go towards fixing roads and potholes in a 'better road blitz'. However, a planned upgrade to Myki is $136.76 million over budget and running 18 months late. Businesses There are no new taxes on businesses this time, with the government committing hundreds of millions to boost business capacity and investment. This includes a $150 million Victorian investment fund, a third of which is reserved for regional areas, $4 million to develop entrepreneur skills, and $240 million tied to economic growth strategies, such as red tape reduction and workforce training support. Losers Public service Treasurer Jaclyn Symes said the budget plans for 1,200 less full-time public servants, and that number could grow to around 3,000 after the government finishes its review of the public sector by 30 June. While Symes said these won't affect frontline services and are partly due to natural attrition, the cuts represent a significant downsizing of the bureaucracy. Homeowners Despite previous promises to help millennials into the housing market, there's no bold new housing vision in this year's budget. There's a modest $249 million joint spend with the federal government for infrastructure to support 4,000 new homes, and stamp duty concessions for off-the-plan homes are extended to October 2026 and expanded to more buyers. But Victoria's target of building 800,000 new homes by 2034 still feels out of reach. While the state is forecast to post a $600 million operating surplus in 2025-26, its first since the pandemic, the story lies in the $12.2 billion overall deficit once infrastructure spending is included. The government is sticking to its promise to keep net debt below 25% of state output, but the actual debt level continues to climb now forecast to hit $194 billion by 2029, well up from the $155.5 billion projected for mid-2024.

Ranthambore's killer tigress Kankati may be relocated
Jaipur: Forest authorities on Saturday discussed the fate of the subadult tigress Kankati, tranquillised and caged in an enclosure in Bheed region of Ranthambore National Park (RNP) last week after it killed two people. "We had to be certain that the right animal was captured to avoid any injustice. After thoroughly examining photographic evidence, it was confirmed that the tigress responsible for the attacks was indeed Kankati," said an official. Kankati, a cub of the well-known tigress Arrowhead, may be relocated, a source said. "It was proposed to shift the tigress either to the 80-hectare enclosure at Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve (MHTR) or to one of the biological parks. The possibility of relocating her to Sariska Tiger Reserve was ruled out, as its own tigers are already dispersing beyond the reserve," the source added. The forest department is also deliberating on the future of Kankati's two male siblings, who have not been involved in any human conflict so far. However, concerns have been raised due to their rearing in the same environment, where live bait was used to feed them. "There is no available territory for these male cubs in RNP, and conflicts are increasing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia alta? Pingue isso na água antes de dormir Saúde Melhor Idade Veja agora Undo A proposal has been floated to shift them to MHTR as well. The decision is awaited," an official said. Sources noted that the department should not keep the tigress in the enclosure for long, as it lies within the natural corridor between Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary and Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. In the past, conflicts arose when T-104, an aggressive male tiger, was kept in the same enclosure. "Wild tigers clashed with the caged T-104, leading to aggression from both sides," a source said. Keeping a tiger in an enclosure within the core reserve area for an extended period is impractical, as it requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Experts suggest relocating the tigress to a biological park in Jaipur or Udaipur instead.

Bhandara cops launch AI-enable health app for its personnel
Nagpur: In a first, Bhandara police have developed a health app, 'Arogya', to monitor the wellbeing of its personnel through Artificial Intelligence (AI). The app will alert the senior-level officials if a cop is at a health risk apart from offering telemedicine facility. The app has been developed as a part of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis's 100-day programme for enhancing police efficiency. It will be beneficial to those deployed in the remote police stations of the district. The app is set to be inaugurated by Fadnavis soon. Noorul Hasan, SP of Bhandara, said the first-of-its-kind health app was developed in the backdrop of an increase in the number of on-duty deaths of constables and senior officials. " Arogya App will help us monitor the health of the constables, especially those who are posted in far-off stations," said Hasan. The app also helps the cops avail telemedicine facilities by consulting a doctor of any specialty. "We have inked an MoU with a private hospital that will help us with its panel of doctors, whose consultation and prescription will be part of the digital record of each personnel in the app," said Hasan. "Cops can also avail 27 different tests through this app. The test findings will also be part of the digital record. If there is a red flag in any of the health parameters, the alert will reach the unit in- charge," said Hasan, adding that the prescribed exercise plan and other physical activities for each personnel will also be updated in the app. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia alta?

"If there is a tough bandobast, we will try to avoid putting a co-morbid cop on the job as far as possible," said Hasan, adding that Bhandara police are undertaking some more pathbreaking implementations under IG Dilip Bhujbal-Patil.

The Preparation Stage takes place over 2 days, from the first Saturday to Sunday. ✧ Action Stage: Members contribute points towards flagged areas. Flags can be adjusted. If no flags were placed, members can contribute as many points as they choose towards any area that can be occupied. The Action Stage takes place from 00:00–22:00 every day during the second week of the event. ✧ Results Stage: The Clan that contributed the most number of points wins ownership of the contested area. The first time the fortress or castle is captured, Clan members who contributed a certain amount of points will receive a special reward. Clans will earn daily Clan Points for each day of occupation. Results are calculated from 22:00–24:00 (UTC+0) following the end of the Action Stage. ✧ Rewards include titles, multi-player emotes, and more.
