Victorian Premier Ben Carroll and Opposition Leader Jess Wilson have each unveiled election pledges ahead of the November 28 state election. Carroll's Labor government pledges to channel 100% of mineral resource royalties to regional Victoria, while Wilson's Coalition plans to establish 10 new technical colleges statewide, modeled on South Australia's approach. The mineral resource revival in Victoria is seen as a major factor in the state's economic potential.
