Victorians are saying “not in our name”.
Farmers, Firefighters and landowners feed, protect and participate in funding the Fire Services levy along with Victorians.
We’ve been used as human shields for the Allan Government’s $5 billion tax grab that hits everyone.
- Farm taxes tripled
- Billions ripped from regions for tunnels and blowouts
- Homeowners tax doubled
- Small business even more
- Everyone will pay at the checkout when they buy milk, meat, fruit and veg
- Renters will pay when landlords pass it on.
- Small business will pass it on or they’ll hit the wall
