Victorian taxpayers will foot a $1 million bill for a state Labor government ad campaign attacking the Morrison government just five weeks out from the election.

Premier Daniel Andrews and Federal Labor Leader Bill Shorten co-ordinated their announcements on Sunday of a stepped-up attack on the Morrison government, which Labor accuses of cutting $2.6 billion from the nation’s hospitals.

Labor’s national campaign will be supported by the Victorian government ad blitz on TV, radio, newspapers and social media, telling voters in the key battleground state that Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s government has short-changed their hospitals by $305 million, with more pain to come.

The Premier also indicated that he was planning more pain for the Coalition over its efforts in Victoria on transport infrastructure, which proved to be a hot-button issue with voters in last year's state election.
