members of the UFU, CFA Volunteers Group and the Across Victoria Alliance spent their Valentine’s Day out in the community — talking to Victorians about what’s really happening to their fire services.
This time, we were campaigning on the border of Jacinta Allan’s own electorate of Bendigo East.
The response? Overwhelmingly supportive.
We had countless conversations about:
An Emergency Services Tax that’s doubling
Fire trucks that are past their service life
Fire services that are under-equipped and under-resourced
Victorians are paying more — but not seeing the investment where it matters most: frontline emergency response.
This was just the first of many upcoming community actions. The UFU, CFA Volunteers Group and the Across Victoria Alliance are standing together to ensure Victorians get the fire services they deserve.
