Who is spending (and saving) the most in the Victorian election?

The four parties fighting the upcoming Victorian state poll have already made more than $34 billion in election promises as the government heads into caretaker mode on Tuesday.

The Coalition has made $8 billion of spending announcements, which it argues is offset by $24.8 billion in savings over the next decade. Labor has outlined $7 billion in election spending and found $2.8 billion in savings, figures collated from the Parliamentary Budget Office’s election commitment tracker show.
