@Fishinnick; your figures do NOT take account of John Howard's 10% GST on almost everything, they totally ignore the 'dark economy' and do not differentiate between $Feeding $Greed vs investing in core public services and infrastructure.

Nor do they take account of $Future $Debt embedded into the Budget by John Howard and by his Liberal Party successors - little things such as the $84 Billion JobKeeper honey pot for businesses, the tax minimisation for Australia's wealthiest people and even superannuation for $Billionaires.

As for the comparison of NSW to Victoria in your data - some serious explanation of those figures is needed!

It's blindly obvious this Labor government we have is the highest taxing government in my life time and they let inflation rip too
