They answer the pager. They train. They put their lives on hold to protect their communities. But who is standing up for them? CFA volunteers are speaking out — and they want the Allan Government to listen.

Why are Jacinta Allan, Jaclyn Symes and Vicki Ward avoiding the community and not telling the truth. What are you hiding?

Firefighters silent protest against the government doubling the Emergency Services Tax and overseeing the drastic decline in the services, the capability to support the community all serving to increase the safety and risks to Victoria.

Thousands of volunteer fire fighters and farmers descended on Bendigo this weekend to fight the Emergency Services Volunteers Levy.

They want the tax scrapped, hosting the protest in the Premier’s seat to have their voices heard before the election.

Thousands of volunteer fire fighters and farmers are expected to descend on Bendigo this weekend to fight the Emergency Services Volunteers Levy.

They want the tax scrapped, hosting the protest in the Premier’s seat to have their voices heard before the election.

Firefighters have been out in Bayswater talking to local residents about a simple question: where is their money going?

Victorians are paying almost double the Fire Services Levy, yet firefighters are still being forced to rely on ageing, unreliable trucks and equipment.

When people call Triple Zero, they expect a fire truck to turn up. They expect firefighters to have the tools they need to protect lives and property.

Firefighters are doing everything they can, but the community deserves better than higher taxes and underfunded emergency services.

Eight years after the Andrews government promised a new station for Armstrong Creek, south of Geelong, local firefighters are operating from an unused plot of land, with their truck parked behind temporary fencing

By 2029, Jacinta Allan’s new tax is projected to collect almost $7 billion!
Yet, our firefighters are still driving around in Trucks that are over 30 years old.
It’s time to prioritise our emergency services and ensure they have the resources they need to keep us safe.
Can Jacinta Allan rely on your vote this November?

Sheep farmer Rob Armstrong was terrified of public speaking and had no interest in wading into political issues.

But a levy proposed by the Victorian government propelled Rob into action and he found himself leading protest rallies outside Parliament House in Melbourne.

As he campaigned, he had to confront a dark secret – a dramatic childhood event that changed the lives of him and his siblings.

12 years waiting. Still no new fire station “Hopefully it doesn’t take a massive event…” Aireys firefighters speak out…

Sheep farmer Rob Armstrong has never liked public speaking. In fact, he’s terrified.

But in 2025 after the Victorian government announced soaring taxes to pay for the state’s emergency services, Rob became an “accidental leader”.

His motivation? A childhood brush with death in a raging bushfire and gratitude to the volunteer fire fighter who saved him.

200 DAYS TO THE ELECTION and the mood in the bush is changing. Across regional Victoria, frustration is turning into something much bigger. People still remember the night hundreds of CFA brigades went offline in protest. They remember the warnings that were ignored. They remember being told to pay more. And they remember volunteers still fundraising for trucks, stations and equipment. The resentment hasn’t faded. It has hardened. Scrap the Tax Rally Bendigo 14th June

200 DAYS TO THE ELECTION and the mood in the bush is changing.
Across regional Victoria, frustration is turning into something much bigger.
People still remember the night hundreds of CFA brigades went offline in protest.
They remember the warnings that were ignored.
They remember being told to pay more.
And they remember volunteers still fundraising for trucks, stations and equipment.
The resentment hasn’t faded.
It has hardened.

Bushfire survivors whose homes were wiped out in January have been denied council rates relief and stamp duty exemptions, piling fresh costs onto families trying to rebuild.

The Allan government has failed to match disaster relief offered under former premier Daniel Andrews, despite pleas from locals, as the recovery drags into its third month.

The Bushfire Inquiry hearing have raised serious concerns about leadership, accountability, and support for emergency services volunteers.
Communities are asking a simple question — who is listening, and who is leading?

Despite introducing a new $5.4bn ‘Emergency Services’ Tax, our Fire Services continue to be under funded and ill equipped.

State government confirms revised timeline for Armstrong Creek stations. Take a look
