Victorians love to see how the media get it so wrong, even at The Age. It wasn't a "modest" budget surplus, it was the biggest surplus Victoria had ever seen. Ever. Also, Big Build is largely a Transurban thing. Paid with private investment, not tax.

US has fired 850+ Tomahawk cruise missiles in 30 days. It bought 57 last year. The math is forcing the Pentagon toward a ground war in a country ringed by 4,000-meter mountains, with 90 million people. The person making these decisions has never commanded more than 200 soldiers.
